    Its my sisters car and I posted up in the V6 forums, but it got 30 reads but no replys, and I know you guys are a ton of help and some of you have V6s as your DD, so I figured I would try here. The car sputters and misses, has a cam sensor code and a misfire detected code, p0340 and p0300...

    im not sure if this is what you are asking about but when i bought my car it had some black plastic caps that just popped on the factory caster camber plates. I bought my steeda plates and gave the covers to my sister for her V6. I just figured they came with the car from the factory. looked...

    Melted battery terminal in half

    Fixed it. I thought something complicated and crazy happened, but it was easy. When I got my PA performance alternator I also got the upgrade cable for it. I routed it around the front end instead of over the engine. Right after the in-line fuse block it arced and welded itself to the frame...

    556- Primary fuel pump circuit failure

    I installed a wire going from the possitive to pin 5 with an inline fuse (Genius!!!, thank you). I drove it around all last week and finally got it to break down again. installed the fuse, and it didnt change a thing. Went to the rear of the car and I could hear the fuel pump. Checked the fuel...

    95 Cobra NO power...

    It sounds very likely that your timing is off. When I first bought my car it was 20 degrees off and ran horribly. If you are new to mustangs or cars in general remember to remove the spout when you adjust the timing. Also, it is good to clean the MAF like twice a year. takes like 10 minutes...

    556- Primary fuel pump circuit failure

    I replaced the CCRM with a remanufactured one from napa for $125. Thought it was fixed, drove 20 miles away from my house and it died.:nonono: took me 3 hours to get home breaking down in the street over and over. I am so pissed. I cant get that link to work, but I found a write up on the...

    556- Primary fuel pump circuit failure

    I found a remanufactured CCRM at Napa, but they call it a Body Control Component (who names this stuff :shrug::nonono:). Havent installed it yet. Hopefully its the right one and my car doesnt burn it up. Does heat kill CCRMs. I want to relocate it. Get it away from the belt tensioner and...

    556- Primary fuel pump circuit failure

    Every couple months my car would stumble, sputter, die and then be fine after 30 minutes for another couple months or so. Well the car decides to do this to me on an all mustang Poker Run, embarrasing :nonono:, but atleast it finally threw me a code. What was originally presumed to be a PIP...

    Optima Battery recomendation for our cars

    Almost all places that sell optima batteries have the bottom side clips that go on the battery to make it wide enough to use the stock hold down. They just give them to you, if you ask.

    car dies then ten minutes later is fine?

    Ya, I already gave up on autozone for other reasons. lol. Thanks for the help. Just in a few hours too. :SNSign: They sell just the PIP sensor? or do I need a whole new dizzy? any idea on cost? oh, and what I meant to say before was "vapor lock". not that it matters though.

    car dies then ten minutes later is fine?

    The car has done it a few times. It will be running fine, and then start to run extremely rough. Sounds like its running on 2 or 3 cylinders, very sporadic. backfiring. Not even enough power to get me out of the intersection. Pumping the pedal doesnt raise the rpms at all. Then it dies all...
