    Starter Heat Soak prob w/ longtubes...Need Ideas

    Yea I have that same problem with mine as well, I am going to try and put some header wrap on the closest pipes and see if that helps. Mine still starts when hot, but had a few cases where it made me nervous. Post up if the wrap/cables solves your problem.

    No Midpipe...Lose power?

    Well at the begining of the year I had my exhaust all custom redone at a shop with a 2.5 inch pipe and dynamax super turbos. I kinda stumbled upon a flowtech X pipe for next to nothing and am going to put it on, I was mostly going for sound but I was wondering if I could expect any sizable...

    loseing oil pressure

    Oil pressure dropping as the motor warms up is nothing out of the ordinary however 5 psi at idle is fairly low. I would seriously look into perhaps a little better filter if you are running a cheap(fram, motomaster, etc.). Before I became wise I used to run motomaster, identical to fram, and...

    Why can stock Ls1's beat the GT - a small insight for noobs to performance cars

    Yea but in this I think you guys are coparing apples to oranges. You wanna compare, then compare cars in the same sales market. LS1 = top of the line for the F Bodys. So if you take a walk back over to the ford side and take top of the line motor, you end up with the 03/04 cobra. Now line...

    Help Problems w Electric Fan and IAB SENSOR

    I had this problem with my car before as well. What cured it for me was a combination of cleaning throttle body, IAC, and cleaning it thoroughly. Then set your base idle to correct way, reset computer, unplug IAC, start car set idle and then set idle with accesory drag until you get it where...

    Now that I think about it that 60 psi relief makes sense, always wondered why it would go up and then just stop there. :p

    Looking to buy, but it doesn't start!

    But he also said he tried bypassing the batter, by from what I am assuming, by bypassing the battery and just putting the jumpers right on the terminals, which should work. I would definately try looking for corroded connections. Remember to inspect the wire too as that can corrode as well...

    Vacuum Test

    Yea I was kinda more looking for whether this was a big enough margin from 18-20 to 15 to rule in that the cam is not stock. It will determine the mods that I will do so it is kinda important. Would rather find out this way then pull a valve cover and and check it off the lifter.

    Vacuum Test

    Well I've been having suspicions of an aftermarket cam in my car so I decided I would try a vacuum test today. Vacuum showed rock steady 15 "hg at around 800-850 rmp idle. Hissin had told me to look for about 20 so would this be enough to show a cam? Not looking for anything huge but it does...

    Surging Whille Driving

    Hey well still in the process of trying to figure out what has been done to my latest car, 88 GT and came across info from a previous owner that the motor may have been ripped into once before and was sure a cam and some headwork was done(still stock heads). Not exactly sure if I believe this...

    Voltage and Oil Pressure Drop

    Im thinking the voltage drops are messing with sending units. Go spend the 10 dollars and get a mechanical oil pressure guage, not really something you wanna guess about.

    Just pulled codes and I got a tps voltage code (63) as well as 18(SPOUT circuit open or Spark Angle Word(Saw) circuit failure). How much are tps sensors usually?. Thanks for the help thus far.

    Fast Idle

    Well been having idle problems lately as it seems my car always wants to idle up, I tried disconnecting the TPS while it was idling fast and it did idle down one notch. I believe the computer keeps thinking the engine is cold and goes into fast idle. It will let me kick it down all the way...

    High Idle

    Any good tutorials on how to clean this? I assume you are talking about taking the actual sensor apart...is there alot of part in there or is it fairly simple. Im fairly confident but I dont like messing with little parts that fly out at me when i take **** apart, thanks for the help soo far.
