    Foxbody trans swap

    Sn95 bearing retainer is longer than Fox. I have one kicking around that I can measure later, but it's looking like that was an SN95 trans without mods. That input shaft should be about 0.65" longer than the Fox one. If oyu have your old trans still, measure from the case to the tip of the...

    CHANGING BRAKE PADS

    Directed at me. It’s ok. I deserve it. ;)

    CHANGING BRAKE PADS

    Just so we are clear, we are talking about the rear calipers right? You sometimes need to turn with force inwards. If you are using the cube tool, press hard inwards while you turn and it might go. If you are using needle-nose pliers, its going to be hard to do. I use this tool and it...

    CHANGING BRAKE PADS

    This. If you are having trouble pushing one of the front pistons in, replace the caliper. The 99-04 calipers seize quite easily, especially on cars that sit and are overdue for a brake fluid flush

    Engine Coolant boiling in hose?

    To boil coolant with a 16psi rad cap, you'd have to be hitting 250degrees or more. If the cap has failed, this number will be lower. It's likely air bubbles coming out in the system. I've generally had decent luck with these systems self-purging. The air bubbles to the radiator, pushes out...

    Yup. Had to grab some vac line for that. Should be taking care of that today. Once i get that crossed off the list I pretty much have to redo this entire tune starting with idle and my VE table.

    Yup. It's rich all over. Need to pull out a lot of fuel.

    I think we got it. Not 100% positive yet until i go for a drive, but I think this was a few errors compounded which messed up the data I was reading. #1 was the injector data. My settings made them way too rich, so I saw signs of this and it's what got me thinking i was somehow dumping way...

    FUEL PUMP ALWAYS ON

    There isn’t a relay. Theres a fuel pump module in the trunk on the drivers side. Gets signal from the ECU. Either a module issue or ECU issue here.

    Ah you are right. Credit to @nicholase as well. I followed what he had said but didn’t see any settings in MS to adjust for the pressure differential. Didn’t even think that displaying the fuel pressure would run a background calc. So now it’s displayed as a generic sensor so hopefully when...

    No way could I go to bed without trying a few things. SO went into the tune, deleted the FP "guage" i was using and instead created a generic pressure sensor that I labeled Fuel, but didn't define as fuel pressure. Gave it the correct values. Loaded tune, key on/engine off and BAM 37psi like...

    I was running the FP fixed. Vac line was removed and capped. SO manifold vac shouldn't be affecting FP directly. But i graphed FP to MAP, and do see a relationship. They are almost inverse to each other. But this could be correlation and not necessarily causation. I added in PW (yellow)...

    Took me a min to figure out how to get what MS is reading from that sensor which is Analog in1 that i have it set up as. I can set it to display volts, but not at the same time as pressure or i get conflicts. Requires a key cycle. SO next time i run the engine i'll see what MS is reporting...

    And the data log. Pressure sitting at 45psi. Quick rev and it drops to 36psi. AFR goes lean and duty cycle goes from 1.8ms to 18ms trying to add fuel.

    Ok. Another mystery. I wanted to triple check my guages. Borrowed a test guage from work and setup this little rig to verify. I ran it from 50psi down to 20psi taking a video and then comparing pressures. Bottom liquid gauge was off, so that got retired but top one was spot on. So take...

    I checked. Nice and shiny and new looking. These are new lines I installed about 10 years ago. They still look brand new That was my next step. Was going to get a gauge in at the pump and see what it does there. That's a fine idea. Going to work through that next...

    Dropped tank. Took off fuel sock. Hung it free back in the tank into the fuel. Zero difference. I stuck both a mechanical gauge and the transducer up on the FRP and both register a drop. Even a slow rise in RPM's registered a drop of 1-2 psi. A blip drops 6-7psi. I see it on both the...

    Foxbody trans swap

    Yes. I have one right now in my basement on an engine stand bolted to an 83-85 bell The T5 only came on the V6s from 96-10, they never bolted to a mod motor
