    Auto - T5 swap?

    Hey guys, quick question, for now... Who's done a T5 in a 4.6L?? I hear it's been done, but with what bellhousing? Also, I'll be swapping from an auto. I can get a free T5 and figure if I put built internals in it (later on), it should be fine for my 400hp goal. lemme know what...

    Car is missing bad..

    Finally found the culperate! The inside sheet of one of my plug wires rusted from the coolant and actually stayed on the spark plug when I pulled the wire off. I ended up getting new plug wires and new plugs. Problem is all gone. Thanks for all the help guys! Jason

    Car is missing bad..

    At first that's what I thought, but I followed the plug wires and noticed that each coil pack has wires going to each side of the engine. So, if one went bad I don't think there would be a whole side lean because of it?? Still confused, Thanx Jason

    Car is missing bad..

    I haven't been able to identify it so far. I've now established that my fuel system is fine and I don't have a vaccum leak so it must be electrical / ignition related. The ticking is still there on the passenger side near the TPS and the last spark plug wire on the passenger side keeps...

    What should Key-On Fuel Pressure Be??

    Just what it says guys.. my '97 GT is having a missing problem so I tried checking the pump and I seem to be getting 30psi with the key on. Is this normal or should it be around 40? Would this indicate a failing pump? Thanx guys, Jason

    Car is missing bad..

    Ok.. spent a couple hours missing around with the thing.. Spark plugs seem OK. They all look good, snap on tight, and pass the lights off test. New stuff is when I give the car throttle, it stumbles if I try and hold it constant, lags a bit, and RPM's want to drop way down after I let off...

    Car is missing bad..

    OK guys, I had a small miss start to occure and then my intake cracked. Replaced the intake with a PI and adaptor plates and the miss is still there. I've posted multiple times and haven't found the answer yet. It misses at random at idle, and constantly in drive. Also, if I load the...

    Car running like ****...

    Here's the scenario... Car was running good... N-PI intake cracked so I switched to a PI with adaptor plates. Now, the car is not running right.. I'm not sure if it's a loose vaccum line or bad sensor or what? It starts up fine, but it idles like its camming.. 600 - 800 rpm's at times...

    Need picture of Novi 1000 pulley setup...

    Thanx for the response Ourobos, Unfortunately, we tried the tightest belt physically possible to get on the setup (had to hold it on the lip of the last pulley and turn the car over to get the damn thing on) and the tensioner and water pump pullies still ended up touching! Seems like the...

    its...its impossible...

    Maybe.... your using a high octane fuel... and you have alot of residue on top of your piston which is causing excessive compression and forcing your car to 'diesel'! See, that was easy! ;)

    Need picture of Novi 1000 pulley setup...

    Hey guys, need a hand here... We're installing a Novi 1000 on my buddies '90 GT. We're having trouble getting the belt installed right. We believe the problem is because he has an AC delete which moved the powersteering pump up. Now, the tensioner and water pump pulleys hit even with the...
