    tachometer ain't workin

    The Tach on my car broke, but its a 91 so it might be diff. It turned out that there was three pins on the back of the tach assembly that touched three corresponding metal clips on the circuit board. Over time the clips spread apart, and i just needed to push them in for a better connection...

    new speedometer?

    You might want to try to fix the Speedo Head first. I had the same problem and fixed it. There is a small spiral spring around the shaft which i pushed down towards the needle to get rid of some of the play. Then i lubbed up the part where the cable connects. Also, i noticed that the drum with...

    Very Simple Question

    Does anybody know the sizes of the stock pullies? The girl that owned the car before me said she put underdrive pullies on, and i think that may be the reason for the high idle. Specfically, the crank and alternator pullies. Thanks

    well i got mine idling around 700 to 800 now, w/o the iac connected. It runs like ass on first start, but as soon as it warms up, its smooth as silk. Plus the rpms drop so fast when shifting i almost can't keep up. I think i'll keep it like this.

    i did block off the hole with a small screw at one point, and the car wouldn't idle. I would start it, and it would die almost instantly, even with the IAC connected

    Ok, i have been messing around with a high idle, and so far have gotten no where. Right now, the IAC is unplugged, and the car idles at 800 and is very smooth when warm. When cold, it idles around 900 and hunts a little. That 800 is with the throttle plate closed completly. All the air that...

    Failed NJ Inspection

    i have pulled all the codes/ replaced all the spark plugs and the cap and rotor. Pulled the codes, and now i get nothing. The only thing that i can sense is that the car is running rich. Ive cleaned the maf/iac/throttlebody and the egr valve. It idles pretty steadly around 800/850, but seems...

    Failed NJ Inspection

    When i back out the idle screw, something hangs up in the throttle linkage or the cruise control link, making the gas pedal extremely hard to push down at first. Once its down, its fine, unless i let back of the gas, then it sticks again. It basically makes me have to slam my foot on the gas...

    Failed NJ Inspection

    Car Runs and Drives quite nice. Doesn't sputter or miss at all, even under WOT. THe only real problem is a slightly high idle 850/900. I have pulled the codes, and the only code i got was 34, and that was around the same time i hooking up a vac line to the egr valve to see if it was still...

    Failed NJ Inspection

    Ive searched through a lot of other posts, and couldn't find anything specific to my cause. I have an aftermarket cai (bbk), bassani headers and x pipe, and flowmaster exhaust. The car has 2 cats on it still, but with the sniffer connected it pushed out almost 1673 NOx, where max allowed is...

    Too Low

    I just bought my first 5.0 mustang, and am slowly starting to plan mods. I already have a b303 cam, which came with the car, and a Pro5.0 shifter and 24 pound/hr ford injectors. However, my concern is that the girl which sold me the car, really messed up the suspension. She put eibach...
