    Driving With Supercharge Installed With Belt Off..

    Did you install the new fuel pump, maf and injectors? If so you may be in trouble regardless. But, I drove my car untuned 20 miles to my tuner, just stay out of boost and get ready to hold the car in idle as it will be confused as f***.

    Help! Cylinder 3 Misfire.

    There is a way to do a pin out test to see what kind of resistance each coil is getting but you'd have to do a search as I have no clue where you'd begin. @wmburns

    Long Tube Header Install=misfire/rough Idle.....help

    You need to delete egr in the tune as well, car will overcompensate. Also, some cars need an adjustment in the oxygen sensors as you moved them slightly downstream. Also, if you have an exhaust leak pre oxygen sensors you will have misfires or chugging as the computer is trying to compensate for...

    03 Gt Whistle/whine When Moving

    If it is making the sound with engine off, and key off, check rear end fluid, rear brakes (ABS sensors in case they are dragging, all calipers too). If someone rides with you, or you're sitting in the passenger seat is it louder on that side of the car? Also, swap in the stock shifter if you...

    Need Some Advice For 2001 Gt

    IMO it's either, old crankshaft sensor, old alternator, bad ground to the block/body, bad cell in the battery..

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    Maybe @wmburns can chime in on them doing a load test on the alternator to see if the diodes are burned out.

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    I'd almost swap TB's with a friend and install a new throttle cable. Or take your Diablo and the idle down in your custom tune settings. Don't quit on this or swap a ton of parts unless you really want to. But my suggestions for part swapping start with fuel filter and going to the camshaft and...

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    Outside of the idle does the car still move out or does it feel down on power?

    High Idle, Hanging Rpms (i Promise I Searched)

    Have you disconnected the battery since replacing the parts? This forces the computer to relearn the idle.

    2003 Gt Rough Idle When Out Of Gear

    Yes, the electrical current will arc to the motor instead of the spark plugs which equals misfire. And it could be just slightly off that it will not throw a code.

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    You have the OBD 2 one. Did you ever return the car to stock to see if the tune was corrupt? Or do a compression test or did the fuel filter and pump?

    Brakes Steering Wobble

    Either do aluminum rack bushings or urethane ones..you'll kiss yourself when finished. I noticed it before urethane bushings, and that all but eliminates it (although I had a MM steering shaft put on too.)

    2001 Gt: New Engine Install Need Help!!!

    That is a pretty large cleaning up on the block...just make them give you a cheaper price and find a block out of a Mark VIII or '05 up Exploder and get some aluminum weight savings on the car. Add a rotating assembly and install that sucker. You'll be doing elevenses (Top Gear reference...

    Cam Upgrade

    Well, they are a well performing cam but they need to be degreed on install. The debate is that degreeing is unnecessary and they can be dropped it and go, but the tolerances in OE cams are wide enough to cause some catastrophic damage if you're not lucky.

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    I don't know where you found this, but this picture is golden and will be filed away on my computer. I still think it is alternator related..although yours looks practically new. Also, I would have put the stock tune and ditched the Diablo tune before you sent it to Ford. I used to have a...

    Engine 700hp Block Choices....

    I plan on taking things super slow too. Move some parts and junk (modded 360's) out of my garage and pickup a teksid locally, then get it cleaned up so I can slowly acquire the right rotating assembly and so on. Your pretty setup, although a good clutch might be in your build list, maybe a twin...

    Engine 700hp Block Choices....

    I'm planning mine out too. I want to go big with a 2.2 or 2.6 KB and go a completely different route than what I have with my V2 S-Trim Vortech. I will be buying a used Teksid block and a Cobra crank used locally and have it turned or order a rotating assembly. Build the thing bullitproof. Buy...

    Thoughts On

    What's wrong with purchasing a pre painted bumper in your Atlantic Blue color? http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313.TR10.TRC2.Xatlantic+blue+mustang+bumper.TRS0&_nkw=atlantic+blue+mustang+bumper&_sacat=0&_from=R40

    2000 Mustang Gt - Wheel Bearing Noise Up Front, Can't Figure Out Which Side.

    Nitto's are great NT555's will last you 20k easily. Run NT05's if you plan to go boosted soon or NT01's if you plan on Autocrossing/Road Racing it (and not driving it as it is a super soft compound for the street). Falkens IMO are for FWD imports. (And S2k's.).
