    Stock 89 GT with T5 Trans...A9L or A9P?

    REPIN THE O2? Hmmmmm.....might explain my bad mileage....I have both computers and installed the A9P back when I was troubleshooting an intermittent cut out......ended up being the wires in the tank to the fuel pump. Wonder if it would cause a slight mid-range power-loss....very slight with...

    Common 5.0 oil leaks?!?

    Don't rule out the valve cover gaskets...I've seen el cheapo corkies go out pretty quick..also, they can relax and need a cinching. Best bet is to use the steel core rubber gaskets....seems to work great!

    Another CALIF Smog Question!

    First thing to understand is that Kommiefornia isn't interested in the environment. They have the visual inspection scam where each part must be OEM or registered in their system, for a price, to be usable as a CARB-approved replacement. So....the 2 cat Hi-Flo system usually cleans the air...

    Code 29...Mid Range Acceleration Shudder

    Is there any way to go straight to the cylinder balance test or do you have to go through KOEO, Timing Check, KOER then the Cylinder Balance Test? Ideally, I want to go straight to the Cylinder Balance Test....... What's the quickest way to the Cylinder Balance Test? By the way, I have...

    Code 29...Mid Range Acceleration Shudder

    Hmmmm....I tried to go straight to KOER and got no response from the reader...no engine ID codes, nothin! I think my gf's kid didn't hold down the clutch all the way so that is that. What was your symptoms for a dead injector? If I can't run the CMT, is there an easy way to check the...

    Code 29...Mid Range Acceleration Shudder

    I keep getting a Code 29 in continuous memory on my 89 GT with a T5 and the A9P computer. VSS is relatively new and the cruise works fine and no stalling at stops. What gives? My car feels like a weak cylinder with a mid range mild shudder during acceleration and was trying to get to a...

    Timing Issue with A9P Swapped for A9L?

    My bad, I mis-read and remembered incorrectly this comment on this exact post......My memory deleted the words "WOT" notice that the A9P does add 10* of advance at lower WOT rpm's. If proper gearing is being selected by the driver, then a manual t5 Mustang should not see WOT below 1,600 rpm...

    Timing Issue with A9P Swapped for A9L?

    Anyone swap in an A9P computer for a A9L? If so, did you get pinging in the mid-range under acceleration? Stock 89 GT with T5 trans....I know the A9P pulls in +10 deg timing in midrange rpm and +1/2 deg at WOT over the A9L. I have a minor mid-range rattle that seems to lessen when I use...

    Car cuts out when we make a right turn?

    By the way...it's pretty easy to fish out your fuel sending unit and repair it....nearly nothing to it....mine came apart and I fished out the parts and simply reassembled it and soldered my wire back on...

    Car cuts out when we make a right turn?

    I have had the baffle break on both my 86 and my 89. Drop the tank, pull the pump, grab a broom handle and see if it moves. When you change a pump and drop tank without moving a broken baffle, it will act fine but you will hear a weird clunking noise once in a while since the pump holds the...
