    I really need you guys help on this one

    After a trip to autozone, my car threw the following codes 89 TCC (of course) 87 Neutral saftey switch (another given) and then 63 for TPS Beyond low range limit. And we got a code 31. The computer did not have a code 31. So we checked 41, and it's for the O2. Anybody know if theres really a...

    I really need you guys help on this one

    Soo, some of you may already know my 87 2.3 N/A is having a Major Air/Fuel mixture problem. For those who don't, I have replaced my Fuel injectors, ECT, Air Filter, and It still runs VERY rich. It got even worse with the new fuel injectors. My O2 Sensor is fairly new, but has been moved from one...

    Bastards!!!!!

    Hehehe. Wanna know the secret to stealing those pics? Just take a screen shot by hitting "print screen" on your keyboard, then past it into photoshop, crop the desired area (your picture) size it how ever you'd like, then save as you're own new image. Amazing how easy it is to get around that...

But...

    Boosting and shifting sooner than I thought

    Mines like that too. Did you not get that option? All you do is walk off and down it goes. If yours doesn't work, try opening and closing it about 100000 times. Then the "Duramatic shocks" will be broken in enough for 'proper' operation.

    New Injectors / Why the hell

    I have a better problem now. Since I installed the new injectors, my engine will no longer tac out. When it reaches 5.5 Grand it acts like it hits a rev limiter. But it didn't do that before these new GP Sorensons. Did I get **** fuel injectors? My old ones where leaky, but at least they let me...

    2.3L to 5.0L, how hard?

    The Only thing positive I can think about from converting a 2.3 into a 5.0 is that you can defraud your insurance company and have lower premiums. Other than that, I'm a proponent of "buy what you want". It would be one thing to put a 351 clevland in a Fox, but 5.0's already exist. There are...

    headlight bulbs

    Yeah, I hate that dude. Glimmering Flashy head lights that you can't take your eyes off of if it means your life (and it does). I thought that was "riced up". I like the way it looks on the car, but I think those are "off road use only".

    HOw many MPG do you get on your 2.3?

    Magnaflow we're in the same boat. I got like 14 miles to a gallon before I replaced my fuel injectors and ECT. Now It's even worse! I had over a half a tank and got like 68 miles out of it. Just pitiful.

    Am I a free-thinker or, have I finaly lost it?

    The 4.0l V-6 engines definatley have potential. If I remember correctly they are superchargable. Only advice I can conjur up is this, If you make a mini-van very fast, I'd really only use it for going straight. I saw an aerostar up on two wheels one time going around a not-so-sharp turn. I know...

    dodged another bullet

    Definatley a sturdy little work horse, but they haven't designed an engine yet that I couldn't dog to death. (Blew up my 2.9 Bronco motor doing 80 in third racing a honda late at night on the highway) But mine seems to tac out just fine. Reducing your final drive ratios at the rear end and...

    New Injectors / Why the hell

    that sounds pretty efficient. Didn't smog pump's used to handle this? (and rob horse power) I'm just trying to figure out why oil would be coming through there with a proper PCV. That oil is coming from the valve cover. Wouldn't that indicate an excessive amount of crankcase pressure? Or too...

    New Injectors / Why the hell

    Yes, as stated, I just replaced my pcv valve last week. And yes, I do know that the Positive Crankcase Ventilation system is designed to remove blow by gasses and relieve pressure from the crank case. But I don't think that any actual oil should be getting in the intake with the system...

    New Injectors / Why the hell

    Well, I just got done replacing my fuel injectors and my ECT. Now, I finally get a temperature reading!!! YAY!!! It runs at about two notches above 130, is that normal? Now, for the "why the hell" The breather hose that runs from the valve cover to the intake is a part of the PCV system correct...

    Is that odd? Mine's like that.

    Yo "Mr.Woodster"...

    Dude, Mike, Joe, come on guy's. You both seem to be very intelligent. You both seem respectable. And it's obvious that if you REALLY didn't care what each other think, you wouldn't be arguing. You both actually had a point at one time, but now you're just bickering. Sponsership isn't the dream...

    Dr_elusives Swap Question and Progress Thread V 2.0

    Don't the spark plugs ground to the motor? I'd say that's a good enough reason to make sure it's grounded right. Dunno If I personally would go welding and splicing stuff... but, ya know, they're 'custom' for a reason.

    boy am i glad i fixed my tps!

    Fords are born alive. See, ford bought "Cristine" after that movie was finished, and melted it down into their "Master Vat" for car parts. That's why every little thing you do changes it's personallity. The Idle Air Control Valve is right near the intake port on the upper pluenum, on the...
