    Surging Idle and Smoke

    The computer on the 94 -95 cars use timing to control idle if there is a rich or lean condition. I would guess that because you just put on alum heads you are getting more air and you may be lean. The adaptive control in the EEC can only adjust the fuel about +/-10% then the timing takes over to...

    Question about aftermarket MAF's

    I have had great luck with Pro-m. I am tring to put on a granatelli now (3 months++) No support from tech, back order, wrong connector to factory harness... it never ends.

    Intake fit under stock hood?

    Just for a comparison I have a 94 GT with the Trickflow Trackheat intake and a 1 Inch spacer under a STOCK Hood. I did some mods but it did fit. For starters I removed the EGR tube and blocked each end with a penny and the original nut. Don't laugh it fits perfectly. As long as you don't pull...

    Crane DMS install wiring help

    Has anyone had any experience installing a Crane DMS Ignition on a 94 stang?? I can't seem to get the wiring right. The stock harness has 6 wires and the DMS has only 3 and the directions they give you are weak to say the least. The colors listed in the directions don't match. :bang: :bang...

    Is there a way to get your a/f close?

    You can buy a fuel presure gauge at most auto parts store around $30.00 it goes on the schrader valve on the front of the passenger side fuel rail. Just to be clear you are not adjusting you A/F.... only your fuel pressure. The EEC will try to set the A/F. with 19lb Inj you shouldn't need much...

    Is there a way to get your a/f close?

    Without knowing what Inj size you have I can only say what worked for me. I have my FPR set to around 42psi (no Vac) If you put the vac on I am around 39 to 40psi. I did find that clearing my KAM after making adjustments helped the car run better as well. Always take the car for a ride after...

    Top End Rebuild problems...

    This could be a long shot but did you adjust your valves correctly??? If they are too tight your engine could feel like it is straining. The setting is usually 1/2 to 3/4 turn after zero lash. If they are tight and you keep driving it will wipe out your cam..

    base timing less than 10*???

    Thanks for the info guys... I will try to bring it down to 8-9* to see if the ping goes away. It does start popping a little around 9* but it may be a trade off. I know it isn't carbon cause I just put the eng together a few months ago. I do have the heads milled to 58cc chambers so the...

    Repost...idle problems

    I just got done adjusting my idle..... Pain in the a##!!! :bang: :bang: but it is finally idleing pretty good. Try this but don't forget once you connect the IAC and blip the throttle a few times it sets the computer, so any major adjustment after that will make it worse. The trick is to get...
