    Erratic Idle, Only with AC

    Before swapping the IAC, the AC worked fine and it seemed to run fine when the restrictor plate was in, no surging, just the high idle all around. Air blew cold as normal. When I removed the plate, I put the new gasket in. Now it fluctuates.

    Erratic Idle, Only with AC

    Didn't see anything with a search that seemed to match. I recently replaced my IAC when I suspected it was causing an occasional stall. Sometimes at start up I would have to force the engine to run by applying power, otherwise it would die. Then it would be clear the next time, or even clear...

    Fix your Slow dropping/hanging RPMs

    I thought it was opposite: small hole would be a low idle, bigger normal idle, and a leak would cause high idle. Maybe I just need to make the hole in my plate bigger. Would the small hole possibly have triggered my dash light?

    Fix your Slow dropping/hanging RPMs

    Just thought I'd throw my five cents in here. I read this thread and liked the idea. I was going to replace my IAC since I suspected it was causing a stall issue now and then and figured I'd add this plate while I'm at it. I made a simple plate from a sheet of aluminum I had left over from...

    Best SC oil and WHERE to get it???

    Is there a viscocity or spec number it needs to meet? I can look and see if there might be an Amsoil fluid that would match up.

    Which CAI should I buy?????? C&L or K&N FIPK

    I've seen a lot of replies about using a K&N. Has anyone seen the new filters from Amsoil: These are the the stock air box Ea Filters And the aftermarket Universal Ea Filters If you're interested in prices shoot me an email or PM. They are dry filters and reusable for 4 years or...

    Which CAI should I buy?????? C&L or K&N FIPK

    Anyone see the CAIs listed on eBay or bought one? I've seen them varying in price from around $25-50. They look like the other name brands. I've often wondered if there is a difference, since isn't a pipe basically a pipe? The only thing I would think would make a difference would be the...

    8.8 rear-end questions

    Just read this thread and am curious why they say no synthetics? If the synthetic you plan to use meets the spec they are looking for, it should perform better than a petroleum: better protection, cooler operation, etc.

    Royal Purple...really worth it?

    This was one of the issues they wanted to address, we had TSBs for reoiling our previous 2-Stage Foam Filters, and always warned customers to not overoil. Fords were having all sorts of issues because people just assumed more oil was better. I'm not sure if we will see a comparison, at least...

    AMSOil remote dual

    I've been running the dual kit for the last several year: I've had no issues. The Amsoil Dual Bypass has a valve built in that forces a certain amount of oil through the bypass filter, the rest goes through the regular full flow. When you go to WOT or any load on the oil system, this...

    Royal Purple...really worth it?

    The stock filter size for the 4.6 is an EaO11. I'd use their 5W-30 (ASL) or if you want to upgrade to their higher end line, their Series 2000 0W-30 (TSO). If you email me, I can give you prices.

    Royal Purple...really worth it?

    If your engine has been taken care of, there should be no reason why you can't switch to synthetic. If you have no idea what has been happening in your engine, or are changing the oil for the first time in 90,000 miles, then I'd be a bit hesitant. You will most likely experience some blow by...

    Royal Purple...really worth it?

    I personally think RP has been more hype that factual. When I first became an Amsoil Dealer and heard about RP, I asked some of the older Dealers if they ever heard of it. They said it was a small synthetic company and many petroleum oils performed better. RP has done a lot of marketing in...

    Need Some Help Fellas....

    Looks like I have to look into that aftermarket intake, Amsoil released those universal filters I mentioned the other day. They have 9 of them varying in different sizes. Here is the link to the info. They are called Ea Air Induction Filters.

    Need Some Help Fellas....

    Hey guys, Was doing some searching online for a stalling issue that I'm now thinking is the IAC and found this thread. I know performance is something we are interested in and prompts the K&N filter. Are you suggesting going back to restrictive paper filters again? I had a K&N and then...

    Going full synthetic? huh

    Does this include petroleum breaking down, such as it working under heavy load or hot conditions that will effect petroleum before synthetic? Agreed, the quality of the base stock and additive package play an important part in just how resistant the oil is. Also true, and again the oil...

    Going full synthetic? huh

    I've run the SDF filter their full distance before. I haven't tried the new filters yet, my annual change is coming up in another month when I will be starting to use them. Of course ultimately it's up to what you feel comfortable running them at. The nano-fiber technology that these...

    Going full synthetic? huh

    The SDF11 is the old part number. These filters are only available while supplies last. Amsoil released their new line of Ea filters late last fall using Nano-Fiber technology. The new part number is the EaO11. The previous SDF filter was rated for 12,500 miles or six month, the new EaO...

    Mach 1 What kind of motor oil do you use?

    Sorry, been behind on stuff on my end. You shouldn't have any problems running the 5W-30. Even when the oil goes out of grade during oil analysis, say for example you start with a 5W-30 and testing shows it has become a 5W-40 later after use, it is still considered good. Of course being...
