    Will Blow-by Cause This Issue?

    Hey guys, my 94 cobra is experiencing some issues with blow-by. I never really noticed until now but smoke coming from dip stick. My question is, I been having some issues with bad idle and when the car warms up it will shut down and be hard to start/wont start until cold again. Could the...

    Max/most Cca For A Cobra

    Hey Guys I have a 94 cobra that starts rough or takes many cranks. This leads to the battery dragging or draining rather quickly. My mechanic is saying my battery is not good enough or does not have enough CCA for my car. But when I take that battery out and put it in my 65 ford truck that has...

    Suspension Need To Replace Steering Rack, Would Like Suggestions

    On my 94 cobra the steering rack is leaking something vicious. Can any of you guys make a recommendation for the best brand to get and the most reasonably priced place to get a replacement steering rack (I do not really want to get one from the junkyard)? Any input or advice is greatly appreciated.

    94 cobra run rough, cuts off, but runs a little better with MAF unplugged

    Ok I will look into testing my injectors as well as running some injector cleaner through them. Also I forgot to mention that I have a ton of powder coated parts under the hood (upper/lower manifold, valve covers, accessory brackets..). It was recommended that I check the grounds too. I will be...

    94 cobra run rough, cuts off, but runs a little better with MAF unplugged

    94 cobra run rough, cuts off, but runs a little better with MAF unplugged

    02 281 I am not sure what that is, how do I check that? Hey guys it was raining pretty tough over here and with the holiday I have not had a chance to check into the fuel pressure. But let me ask you this. I got in contact with Pro-M and explained my MAF sensor issue with their CAI kit. ANd...

    94 cobra run rough, cuts off, but runs a little better with MAF unplugged

    I was reading where some folks where taking a pressure reading when starting the car too. Do I need to do a reading when cranking? Also the only real way the car stays running is with the MAF unplugged. Is it ok to test that way?

    94 cobra run rough, cuts off, but runs a little better with MAF unplugged

    Update: Got a new MAF, cleared the codes. Car still does not run with MAF plugged in. Car now cranks over, I can keep it running by vigorously pumping the gas pedal. But when I do that I hear backfires coming from under the hood. When I check the codes now I get. 564, 564 111, 111. Could it...

    94 cobra run rough, cuts off, but runs a little better with MAF unplugged

    WhiteCobra I will check into the injectors when I get home. I was told it had 24lb injectors, but never verified myself by checking the color. Also how does one check the ECU? I think you are correct on the TB as well, I been researching and found that to be true as well. That being the case is...

    94 cobra run rough, cuts off, but runs a little better with MAF unplugged

    Thanks Kurt, I will try that. So you mean literally place cardboard like around the filter to prevent air from coming off of the electric to the filter? Just making sure I understood ya.

    94 cobra run rough, cuts off, but runs a little better with MAF unplugged

    I have had the car for a few years. It has been sitting and never really ran right. But I am trying to get it together for the summer. Yes I did change plugs, wires and the cap and rotor. I think the MAF I got is still under warranty from Autozone. Sounds like I should try to swap them out?

    94 cobra run rough, cuts off, but runs a little better with MAF unplugged

    Yes.... well kinda. The car has always ran really rough, thus it went into a shop. The shop replaced the MAF sensor with a stock replacement from autozone. I have since taken the car back to my house due to the guy not having time to work on it. I didnt notice the "Pro-M" casting on the Mass Air...

    94 cobra run rough, cuts off, but runs a little better with MAF unplugged

    I think I may know why this is messing up. Seems the Mass Air Flow sensor is a stock replacement. But I have a pro-m mass air meter. Could that be causing the issue? Also I have the stock tubing hooked up to it, so it is incomplete. Any ideas if this could be the root of the problem?

    94 cobra run rough, cuts off, but runs a little better with MAF unplugged

    ok update, with the key on engine not running I get the following codes. 111 10 157 Now the car will not run at all with the MAF plugged in! So I am not able to get a reading. I start the car with MAF unplugged, plug my scanner in then plug in MAF car instantly dies.
