    Small squeek behind dash when driving.

    haha ive de-squeaked my car, its pretty easy really. I had the same squeak behind the dash, and mind turned out to be a piece of the plastic dash behind the gauge cluster rubbin on the steering rod. I just shoved a piece of rubber in there and no more squeak! Other common squeaks ive found is...

    Installing shocks at home

    Incredibly weird engine problem. No SEARCH function will help me out!

    headers are glowing red, wouldnt that indicate a lean condition? try playing with the fuel pressure, i think 24s at 40psi might not be enough fuel, also check to make sure the injectors are fully seated, and you could even pull the plugs too see if its firing on all 8.

    bbk t body whistleing: any way to stop it

    i have a bbk throttle body, and it doesnt whistle! I found that with the iac disconnected, it whistled no matter where i set the idle. However, with the iac connected, i was able to adjust the idle a little higher, and it stopped whistling.

    Prayer for a Mustang God

    one of your codes is the evr failure, which controls the egr valve, if that was going bad, could it engage/disengage the egr valve at the wrong times possibly? more of a question

    Same Old Question!@! Idle Problem

    i had a similar problem as to what your describing, and it turned out the previous owner had cleaned the throttle body, when it had that do not clean sticker, which cause the blade to stick slightly open. Try cleaning out the IAC real good, and check the tb to make sure it closes all the way...

    EVR

    well in your original post you ask about the EVR, which jrichker explained applies vaccum to the egr valve based on load and rpms, and always has vaccum applied to itself. However, what you describe in later posts sounds like the charcoal canister. I think you confused everyone, try typing out...

    The Quest for Ground Clearance

    the drag springs probably make the front reallly soft, and the front would dip down quite easily i would think. Also, are the struts originals? new struts could help a little And more as a question, when motor mounts get old and start to fall apart, could that cause the engine to sit lower in...

    After a near accident, What makes Fox brakes so bad?

    the reason i think most people say the fox brakes suck is not the first or second stop, its the repetitive stops on the track, Fox brakes fade away quickly. Ive honestly never had a problem stopping in time, and i live in jersey, where people love to pull out in front of you in a 55 and go 20...

    Speedometer way off

    well if the old face is still on underneath, then most likely the person left all of them on. You might be able to remove all the overlays and just go back to the stock black gauges for the time being, if the 85 mph speedo is something you can live with.

    Speedometer way off

    what im thinkin happened is the previous owner put a 140 mph face on top of an 85 mph speedometer, if u take the cluster out, try lifting up on the edge of the white faced overlay, if you see a black one underneath, try to see if it goes up to 85 or 140.
