    New Engine Help- Shuts off shortly after startup

    Yea, I had the spout out at first, wasn't really running well, then put it back in and it almost can idle without pressing the gas pedal. I'm going to tweak the position of the dizzy today to see if i can get it to idle on its own, then hit it with a timing gun.

    New Engine Help- Shuts off shortly after startup

    Ok today was a success! Set the timing at 10* and she fired right up. It still dies out if I don't give it a little gas, but its sounding much better. I haven't had anyone around to give me a hand, i'm sure some adjusting on the dizzy will help some more. I have a timing light ready to lock in...

    New Engine Help- Shuts off shortly after startup

    I am testing with compression gauge, doing 1 plug at a time, disconnected distro and fuel pump relay. I was just turning key to start for about 2 seconds, it was difficult to count the start revolutions, i could count at least 5-7 in 2 seconds. If I left it a little longer than 2 sec, readings...

    New Engine Help- Shuts off shortly after startup

    Thanks, good to know. I did not get to try the car at 10* yet, my water pump had a small leak and I ended up pulling it off and doing a permatex rtv water pump gasket sealer for it instead and I wanted to let it sit overnight. Tomorrow if theres no more leak, I'll give the 10* a try and try...

    New Engine Help- Shuts off shortly after startup

    1) I have heard mixed input on this, right now I am at 0* for initial timing. I will try 10* 2) For my test, I was only running the starter about 2 seconds to get 90psi, if I keep cranking, it definitely goes up well past that. How many turns should I do for a test? Thanks!

    New Engine Help- Shuts off shortly after startup

    Got my engine to finally turn over. It idles for a very short time (and roughly i will add) then dies in a few seconds. I think the longest I was able to keep it on was about 15 seconds and I was pushing the gas a little bit to keep it up, it was just sputtering at this point. On the infamous...

    AODE to T5: Starter Not Engaging Problem

    I thought about that, but then i didn't think it was tied into the engine to where you can't start it, but then again, I never tried to start my AODE in gear, im sure it won't let you which makes sense. I no longer have my MLPS, the connector is just hanging. Could I jump pins 1 to 4? They are...

    AODE to T5: Starter Not Engaging Problem

    Ok- used the AODE jumper to bypass the whole clutch saftey switch to eliminate that out of the equation. Then took a DMM, unplugged the connector that carries the +12V to the starter, checked with some alligator clips to see what happens when key is in "start" position, no voltage. Took the...

    AODE to T5: Starter Not Engaging Problem

    Thanks. Yea- no clicking on starter solenoid when turn the key to "start" but I heard the clicking work when I took it to have it tested so I know the solenoid is good. I may have to rent a OBDI scanner to get the code. I have those 2 connectors installed on the switch you mention, i can see the...

    Fuel Tank Problem

    I'd check the fuel line connections on top to make sure its not leaking and dripping down the center between the humps on the top of the tank. Maybe try dropping the tank down a few inches to see the lines and then priming the pump to see if anythings coming out of that area?

    AODE to T5: Starter Not Engaging Problem

    Did a AODE to T5 swap and a complete engine rebuild, so the car was stripped down for a year. Everythings back in and ready to go, when I turn the key to "run" I get fuel pump prime, go to "start" and nothing. Heres my checklist of things I've done: 1) Battery - cleaned terminals, pulled and...

    Buzzing Under Steering Column??

    FIXED! Fixed this problem tonight. I ended up pulling off the steering column to fix my ignition switch problem (key wouldn't turn to start position, it was just out of sync mechanically) and I decided since I had the ignition switch disconnected and the other harnesses it would be a good time...

    Buzzing Under Steering Column??

    Thanks- yea lol forgot thats mounted on the coolant overflow tank! Duh! Found a loose ground by it anyway.. still didn't solve the buzzing. At least I have fuel pressure! The steering column is locked from letting me start the engine. The only thing I can spot under the steering column is a...

    Buzzing Under Steering Column??

    I've been doing some digging with very little success except for this little bit of info from someones build log: Sounds very much like what I am experiencing. I will need to figure out where the ground should be or a way to test if it is open.

    How Did You Torque Your Driveshaft?

    I put the tires on a couple blocks, that was more than enough clearance for me to get under there and hit it with a box wrench and some locktite. I was damn near bending the wrench while tightening, so i hope it holds.

    Buzzing Under Steering Column??

    After 14 months of no mustang, I finally got my build to a point where I could turn the ignition to the "on" position to start testing my fuel pump pressure (and then maybe the car) but soon as I put the key in the ignition switch I am greeted with this buzzing noise that is coming from under...

    How Did You Torque Your Driveshaft?

    Thanks for the ideas guys. So far a box wrench has been the only real champ on tightening these 4 bastards. I put on a multi point 12mm with a short extension to try to reach around the edge and its just not flush enough for my liking to give it a real go. Of course you gotta keep the wheels...

    How Did You Torque Your Driveshaft?

    Having hell of a time of finding a wrench combo that will fit the driveshaft companion flange bolts with either of my torque wrenches and still have a solid contact. Everything kinda leaves it at a nasty angle, I really don't want to strip one of these bolts. What did you use to get a good grip...

    95-95 T5 Harness Help

    Thanks, didn't know if that would be OK or not. Yes, it is a swap. I could then sell the V6 harness and that will pay for the T5 harness in the meantime.

    95-95 T5 Harness Help

    That explains it then! I bought it awhile back but I thought the guy said it was a 94-95 harness, then I went to hook it up I was confused to see the O2 sensor harness on it too. I was pretty sure the manual T5 and the Auto O2 stuff shared the same harness, and I did confirm that today, so I...
