    94/95 5.0 in fox? Pros and cons

    I would wonder how well it would fit, the engine bays are very different. I put a fox style motor in my sn95 style engine bay and it was no cake walk. Maybe it fits the other way around. I heard the 95 computer is a little less agressive, but with the AODE tranny you're getting you need the...

    Posi, good or bad?

    I believe posi and track-lok/limited slip are different. Doing a search found this: If i'm not mistaken posi is more for an all out drag car.

    why get rid of EGR???

    Right, all the resistors do is tell the computer that the egr is closed, even though it doesn't exist.

    Code 13

    okay, yes the idle is set at about 850rpms, much below that and it just about dies. That would be a much worse problem. The reason I was wondering is when driving, the auto shifts at very low rpms and keeps engine speeds around 1200rpms if it can. At this speed in any gear the car shudders...

    Code 13

    Had the CE light come on for a second today, so I pulled the codes. No Immediate codes on the KOEO test. Durring the KOER test I got a code 13- PCM could not lower idle speed below normal idle durring KOER low rpm idle check. Susspect Idle bypass valve problems. So is this the IAC screwing...

    air sensor

    Um, no there's not two parts to the sensor. It's held down by two small screws, usualy the star type. Buy one at autozone or somewhere like that, I think they're like $70. Looks like the black sensor in the picture.

    why get rid of EGR???

    As said above, if you do get rid of it, you need to reprogram the computer. 1 you will have a CE light 2 the computer advances the timing when the egr is open and it can run like crap. What I did was make a little harness out of resistors to tell the computer that the egr is closed, and is...

    emissions chk in IA?

    Yeah Iowa and most of Illinois don't require testing, and if you have to go to another state, you only have to follow Iowa's rules just like license plates, I beleive. (On emmisions)

    Car won't start

    Yes, it is the stock voltmeter, I haven't put a real voltmeter on the batter yet. I was rulling the battery itself out since the jump wouldn't work either.

    Car won't start

    Oh forgot to mention, it drops to 0volts while cranking, so is there any way this could be the starter? And as said by Jrichker in one of his previous posts, I will be checking lots of wires tomarrow.

    Car won't start

    After running it kinda hard the night before I got up in the morning and the car won't start. When in run position the voltmeter was reading about 10volts so I say, maybe I left something on that drained the battery. I charged it all ay at 2apms and still nothing. So I tried jumping it and...

    First time at track, poor ETs

    I checked on the dyno prices today. It's $75 for one pull and $10 every one after. Seems steep to me? Tuning it is $595, wow. I think I'd buy myself a tweecer before I'd do that. Besides that, I need to find out what the hell is robbing all of my horses. I was puttering today, looking...
