    What are the symptoms of a bad tps?

    Did you plug the MAF connector back in when you replaced the MAF?

    Exhaust need your expertice!

    All Bassani. High quality product and solid gains on their midpipe from what I read.

    Okay, how tough is a midpipe install?

    I did mine originally on a lift, and it was a pain getting that bottom passenger side nut off, even with a huge arsenal of air tools and extensions. Probably because I had read so much about it that I psyched myself out. Once we got that off, the rest was a breeze. I took that pipe off...

    Best oil and filter.

    I've always been a firm believer that you should pick one quality brand name oil and always use that one. I personally use the Motorcraft 5w20 synthetic blend with an FL-820S filter. The motorcraft filters are very good. Once my warranty expires in a few months here, I'll be switching to...

    How do I add oil?

    Yeah, and I bet you'll conveniently leave the "salvage title" part out of the deal won't you. The really sad part about your post is, that you have the wrong antifreeze in there, you have a ghetto rigged hose coming off the wrong valve cover, then you tell us you plan on selling it, and...

    How do I add oil?

    Do you work at some small hick car lot that rips people off selling wrecked cars without telling people? That's sort of the impression I'm getting.. especially when I consider this: What reputable cars sales place wouldn't have the resources to answer this question themselves (i.e. a service...

    What year engine will work???

    03/04 have 21# injectors, while the earlier models had 19#. I would think since so many tuners are always pushing "calibrate the MAF for the injectors!" .. that perhaps if you use the 21's, you'd need to change a setting or 2 in the PCM.

    lol ticket

    When I get pulled over for speeding, I always politely ask if I could see the radar gun, then usually follow it up with some sort of joking remark, so as to not come off as an ******* to the guy. Several of those times, the officer said "I didn't have you on radar, but you were clearly...

    4:10's installed w/ diablo tune and...

    I didn't notice hardly any difference when I went from stock gears to 3.73's. I was all excited to feel this huge power difference.. but when I left the dealership, I was like, "Did they forget to actually put them in?"

    Trans cooler size

    Steeda Underdrive pulley install.

    Yes I suppose you could, but I think it might be difficult to figure out exactly what diameter blower pulley you would need to compensate. It may be like a really tiny pulley, and less pulley area could result in belt slip.. who the heck knows. :)

    Steeda Underdrive pulley install.

    Not a bad mod for a cash IMO. Sucks they gotta come off for supercharger apps though. :shrug:

    Help me Tune up my car!

    Well, I wouldn't let that keep me from wanting cooler water temps. Since he likely won't need to change the coolant again for 20kish miles, chances are it'll see at least one hot summer after this winter.. right? About the grease fittings, I was thinking the pre 99's had a few. Guess I'm...

    At what point will one begin to run lean?

    Well, carbon buildup on the pistons can cause detonation.. you may want to think about Seafoam or something like that. Some valve noise on cold starts isn't totally uncommon, and Ford said "some is normal" in one of their TSB's. Oil viscosity can affect this too. Too thick of an oil at...

    how many miles are fords 5.0s good for?

    I agree with the above poster. I've heard of 5.0's going easily over 200,000 miles with proper maintenance, and I've also personally seen 5.0's lose compression, smoke, etc, if they aren't maintained. Using a quality oil and following a good change schedule, along with coolant flushes...
