    My car won't start again

    have the TFI module under the air filter checked. They will test it for free at most auto parts. It requires a special tool to remove or a thin wall deep well socket.

    Trickflow kit installed on 88gt with problems!

    Ok thanks. I am going to try to readjust today. If I can't get it to work then I'll look toward a mass air conversion.

    Trickflow kit installed on 88gt with problems!

    So black plugs mean I need more fuel? I have a larger pump and adjustable regulator that I can put on. I just don't see how more fuel can help the situation? If I have to I'll convert to Mass air. I just think I have other problems at the moment like maby the valves are not adjusted correctly...

    Trickflow kit installed on 88gt with problems!

    This is the first time I have installed a cam. I've done heads and intake before on my 1994. I have never adjusted roller stud mount rockers before. I adjusted them as the instruction said it didn't run right. Then I readjusted them again and same thing. I find 0 lash by loosening all rockers...

    Trickflow kit installed on 88gt with problems!

    No I left the stock injectors in. It is flooding because the fumes will make you woozzy. I have the stock fuel pump and injectors in. What could cause it to run the plugs black and smell rich?

    Trickflow kit installed on 88gt with problems!

    Stock throttle body. I raised the idle to work with the cam. The TPS is at .98 Volts. I made sure everything was plugged in. Even tried swapping out MAP sensor with one from another car, no better. What can pulling codes tell me other than lots of sensors out? Nothing that should affect how...

    Trickflow kit installed on 88gt with problems!

    well I have replaced the plug wires and coil. Still same problem. The plugs are completely black (don't smell like gas just carbon that wipes off). It runs but pops and has no power won't spin the tires. It starts as soon as you crank it up. It wont idle unless you give it gas. Does this sound...

    Trickflow kit installed on 88gt with problems!

    I think I might have found my problem. When we disassembled the the car we left the plugs wires on the ground and rained all over them for a few days. Also I am changing out the coil to eliminate that problem. I tried a different distributer and that didn't help the problem. The vac lines are...

    Can Head gaskets be reused ?

    I've done it before and has worked fine for 70 thousand miles. If you can afford new gaskets then I would get them if not then reuse the ones you have.

    installing 03 cobra front a-arms.

    Got it all together this morning and went for a test drive. The car is much smoother and more responsive now. I noticed my old bushing were cracked and looked bad. I never imagined it would smooth things out so much. Instead of a hard bump on potholes It is just a smooth dip. Well worth the...
