    Poor Idle After Fmic Install??? Anyone Else

    That is a common issue. Basically the longer length of the intake creates a delay between what the VAM says and the change actually taking place. So the computer sees a certain amount of air coming in, tries to modify the fuel and idle, and overshoots, by the time it measures the change, the...

    Thats because Mobil1 is total crap. Get a real synthetic. Royal Purple 5w30, Redline 5W30, Amsoil 5w30, or Joe Gibbs HR4 would all be great choices.

    Help with leaking proportioning valve and stuck wastegate

    That depends on how you intend on using the car. The HY35 is still a pretty big turbo, great track turbo, does ok on the street. The stock computer is really not going to handle a turbo that big without retuning or fooling it. So I would try to stick with a turbo thats closer to the stock one...

    Engine Turbo... Yes or No?

    You basically need the whole turbo motor to get all the parts you need cost effectively. Ordering all the part individually is expensive. You need: the turbo pistons the turbo valves the turbo injectors a higher flow fuel pump a larger MAF a way to tune if you use the turbo computer and VAM...

    Icm keeps going bad

    Ok, I see that in the sig. I don't remember the sig being there when I first posted that. Its kind of a hard color to see. No worries, I don't see DIS fail very often, but these cars are getting old. I still stand by sticking with Motorcraft parts for the ignition system, most OEM parts...

    Icm keeps going bad

    Don't disregard my statements. The TFI module was well known for faulure due to excessive heat because Ford choose to locate them right on the distributor. This location gets hotter than the module can tolerate, causing premature failure. This is why towards the final years of the TFI...

    Icm keeps going bad

    ICM, what the heck is that? Year, make, model. If you are referring to the TFI module, they are prone to failure because they are located where there is excessive heat. Once they overheat, they quit working. There are relocation kits sold on eBay and other online vendors that allow the...

    extra HP 91 4 cyl

    Very unlikely. Maybe if you went with a very radical cam, oversized valves, stronger valve springs, fully ported head and gutted intake combined with larger injectors, custom fuel management, stronger rod bolts, stonger rods, and lighter pistons, then you could get 60-70 hp by virtue of flow...

    extra HP 91 4 cyl

    What setup do you have now. If you have a N/A setup, the easiest and cheapest route is to swap a 2.3L turbo engine in. Otherwise getting 90 hp out of a N/A engine is very difficult, and would make it nearly unusable on the street. If you have the dual plug head, you can even keep it. There...

    Drivetrain NO OVERDRIVE A4LD 89 MUSTANG

    Its a valve body problem, you need to get your valve body rebuilt. Its caused by a blown valve body gasket causing a loss of pressure to the hydraulic circuits so they don't engage. It could also be caused by a valve seal in the valve body somewhere.

    Engine 2.3l 1985 ford mustang lx

    Start with a full tune up. A faulty thermostat will leave the car stuck in warmup mode. A bad ECT sensor can also hurt economy. If you car has a MAF sensor, clean it with an approved cleaner. Replace all filters. Make sure spark plugs are clean and set to the proper gap.

    Svo Mustang Fuel Pressure Issue

    Sounds like either your fuel filter is plugged, or your filter sock on the pump is plugged. It is also possible that your fuel pump needs more power. Sometimes the stock wire is inadequate for high volume fuel pumps.

    A/c Compressor, Factory Or Dealer Installed?

    You should at least get your AC diagnosed before simply replacing major parts.

    A/c Compressor, Factory Or Dealer Installed?

    Any good website should show what both units look like. They are different, and it will be really easy to spot the differences.

    Towing 90' Stick Shift - Need Quick Advice

    Not to sound like I don't care. If you really don't have the money to tow it properly, that leaves you with just one choice. Sell the car. If you can't afford to rent a tow dolly one way, and tow it properly, you can't afford any viable alternative. You can't haul it with tow straps or...

    Power Steering Sensor?

    It measures the pressure, and if it goes over a certain amount, it raises the idle to prevent the motor from stalling during lose sped maneuvers, since it might otherwise bee too much load at that low of an RPM. Its similar to how AC raises the idle to compensate for the load of the AC...
