    Still Running Hot

    Not sure on you tube but a web search will show you many people use this funnel to help with burping the system. I have used it for years on my 95 when ever I have drained the coolant system. Like everything its just my 2 cents in helping not make a mess and aid in filling/burping the system I...

    Still Running Hot

    Yes of course its in the engine but once that thermostat opens up the coolant will force the air out of the motor which this will help aid it. This is why people say "jack the front of the car up or put it on an incline" so this helps with that as well. Check out you tube many people use this...

    Still Running Hot

    For one .. the fill is higher then the highest point of the motor .. which helps once the thermo opens up to push coolant into the motor and bubble up the air .. it also helps so it does not spit coolant all over the place when it finally does open it or when your squeezing the top radiator...

    Head Gasket Repair + Performance Goodies

    You should not need to pull the quick connects on your fuel rails .. just take the 2 bolts off the fuel rails on EACH side of the motor and pull the vacuum line off the FPR (Fuel pressure regulator) and try to pull the rails aside for a head gasket job. Pull the plug wires and the dizzy cap...

    Vehicle Speed Sensor / Speedometer Readings

    So do you know what the voltage going to that vss sensor from the computers vss+ should be I believe its pin 3 or 6 on the ECU. Or does the ECU not supply an voltage to it?

    Fuel Pump? Maybe?

    If you replace the fuel pump do yourself a favor and pick this up as well being the age of the car you may tear the original .. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Dorman-Fuel-Filler-Neck-Seal/1995-Ford-Mustang/_/N-j1hjqZ8vf54?itemIdentifier=380824_0_0_

    Vehicle Speed Sensor / Speedometer Readings

    When testing the incoming voltage from the computer at the Vehicle Speed Sensor do we check for 5.0 volts in AC or DC? I have read the speed sensor is actually an AC voltage generator so this is why I question. I did replace the sensor because I was under the car but when I probed with my meter...

    Stroker Motor Timing Question

    Thanks for the help the computer's internal ground was shot inside of it which caused all these headache's. Found after testing the VREF voltages to the TPS, EGR and all the other sensors on the GREY/RED wire (PIN 46) from the computer.

    Tps Sensor Vref Voltage Below 5 Volts

    Well I found my issue .. After trying to Ohm/beep out pin 46 to either pin 40 or 60 and getting nothing I said screw it and popped the computers case open .. Yup .. Traces were literally burnt to hell .. So after cleaning it up I took a jumper wire and completed the circuit to have now Pin 46...

    Tps Sensor Vref Voltage Below 5 Volts

    Pulled the battery and found this Black/White pair terminated into this connector but its not plugged into anything .. is this supposed to be plugged into something or is this for some tests?

    Tps Sensor Vref Voltage Below 5 Volts

    I ohm'd out the Injector Harness (un-plugged it from where it mates to the other harness under the hood near passenger firewall) and everything seems to ohm out just fine. Now when I get to the clutch safety switch which has the grey/red wire their as well before it looks like it leads to the o2...

    Tps Sensor Vref Voltage Below 5 Volts

    Thanks toyman I been reading all your posts as I see you been down this road with others .. thanks for the help so far man greatly appreciate it .. I pulled another ground hoping I had a bad chassis ground to the pin 20 "black" that is right next to the ECU their and cleaned the existing ring...

    Tps Sensor Vref Voltage Below 5 Volts

    Does anyone know where pin 20, 40+60 and 49 terminate? .. Also has anyone seen 49 as possibly Pink and not Orange as the diagram states above?

    Tps Sensor Vref Voltage Below 5 Volts

    Thanks toyman for the quick response .. If I jump the GREY wire" on the TPS to the chassis grounds next to the battery (see pic's below).. Then did (KOEO) I got the TPS to .98v idle position and 4.75v wide open throttle position. Idle/Closed throttle WOT throttle So I know this...

    Tps Sensor Vref Voltage Below 5 Volts

    Ok so I just took a jumper wire and went from the "GROUND" (TOP WIRE) and ran it directly to the negative post on the battery and then checked the voltage on the Signal wire and the ground wire with the TPS plugged in and now if I crank the TPS up I get it to almost 5v (WOT) and about 0.85v...

    Tps Sensor Vref Voltage Below 5 Volts

    Ok another question .. If I probe from the VREF (Brown wire) to the battery or engine I do get 5.0 volts but if I try to go from the "ground" top wire to the VREF on the connector I come up short .. what should I look for next here ..

    Tps Sensor Vref Voltage Below 5 Volts

    Guys I need some help here trying to figure out what is going on with the VREF voltage to my TPS sensor it basically is not getting the full 5volts it needs for proper return voltage to the computer .. First off if I test between the 5 volt source (bottom Brown wire) and the Ground wire (top...

    Stroker Motor Timing Question

    Well the odd thing is .. if I unplug the IAC (Idle air control) the idle drop's back down just fine so I know the computer for some reason is adding fuel/spark I would imagine. Also I thought the TPS voltage thing was a myth and the computer read's the voltage at KOEO and uses that as a base so...
