    vibration when hot

    just checked the resistance of my msd 8.5 wires and found that my number 7 had a resistance of 2500ohms haha. I rechecked it about half a dozen times thinking my connection was bad. MSD says 40-50 ohms per foot so this was pretty bad. Good news is that I straightened out the spark plug side...

    vibration when hot

    ok guys I popped my hood tonight and found that my msd coil was acring from the body to the winding around it (3 oclock and 9 o clock) I'm thinking this has something to do with the miss I'm feeling. I replaced it with a known good msd coil and also a stocker and it does the same thing. I have...

    Finally Getting back to the U.S.!!

    I live in beaverton/hillsboro, by tanasbourne. I am runnin the pms on my 86 hatch, good stuff. I don't think all ford specializes in the pms but there really isn't much to specialize honestly. Straight forward and way easy to use, only thing missing is a general understanding of tuning and...

    cooling question?

    I know it's a new combo, engines run hotter until they break in but I think yours is past that point. Like I said, I'd be happy with that temp in the temps we are having here. My h/c/i 302 in my 85 coupe runs at 195 with the taurus fan (low speed) and will get as high as 210 sitting from light...

    cooling question?

    john, How many miles does your new engine have? New engines will run a little on the hot side until fully broken in. Does your car get to 200 degrees while cruisin or just going from light to light? If I was you I wouldn't sweat it, 200 degrees in semi humid 90+ temps on a new engine is...

    vibration when hot

    did a cylinder balance test and it passed all three times. do these 302's have some harmonic issue at 2500? I have a tubular k member (AJE) where there is hardly a motor mount. Maybe i'm just feeling excess vibration from the k member. my trans mount and crossmember bushing are brand new.

    vibration when hot

    I seem to have a vibration issue when my car gets heat soaked. The car idles rougher, and there is what feels like a miss +2500 which gets worse the higher the car revs. When the car is heat soaked you can rev it at idle and it the car isn't as smooth either. No applicable codes stored, all...

    what could cause this vibration

    I am having vibration in my 85 coupe. I was on the freeway earlier nd I punched it in third and 4th gear and I got vibes getting worse as rpm increases. I shifted into 5th at the same mph and it instantly disappeared. This makes me think it is NOT a mph issue therefore that would eliminate...

    1993 GT 5 Speed

    haha that's funny you didn't sell it to her because she was leaning on it. I know how you felt, I would require the potential buyer of either of my cars to take a mustang and car exam. It would be awful for someone to buy that car and then trash it. Sadly, this happens a lot of the time.... a...

    low idle during hot restart

    If I get my car nice and hot and shut it off it will restart and idle just fine. If I let it sit for 20 min and then do it again it idles low and smells really rich for a few minutes then it idles somewhat normal again. No codes. Whats the symptom of a cracked spark plug? I've noticed that...

    Beaverton/Hillsboro people!

    Any particular reason for wed night? BTW you may not think your car is loud but when you are in a bay next to stock minivans and little hondas the stang is louder than ya think. haha I was tested for db level and they failed me because one pipe was slightly over and one was under the limit...

    Beaverton/Hillsboro people!

    they don;t run rollers at all. For your 95 they will do an idle and 2500rpm test if I remember correctly. They check for cats and obviously use their 4 gas analyzer. Drew

    clutch cable issue

    It is on the middle hook. If I loosen my cable up then there will be actual play in the cable and I don't feel right about that. I have heard mention of shimming out the pivot ball

    Vibrating clutch pedal after new clutch

    I found that there was a little play in my cable and was getting the vibrating pedal also. I tightened up the cable using my fwa and the pedal doesn't vibrate anymore
