I know the 4cyl to v8 swap has been discussed over and over again i know what needs to be swapped over to properly swap the cars that informations is widely available. I also know this would be easier if i had matching year cars to do the swap but it doesnt always work out like that.
I have an...
I recently bought an 01 Gt convertible with a couple of issues. Most are fixed but i’m stumped on the alternator overcharging. It’s a brand new alternator that charges at a normal 14V at idle and low Rpm, but at higher Rpm (4500+) the battery massively overcharges and cuts all the interior...
2006 Mustang GT Coupe
Lets start at the very beginning
Bought the car a couple months ago for a steal.
Had no catalytic converters. Too loud and wanted to avoid future issues with smog, so I sourced an original catted h pipe with 34k miles on it (Car it came off of currently has 40k miles)...
I recently took out pretty much all of my wiring to make my fox have minimal wiring to just run and I cut my ignition cylinder wiring and I have no clue where it goes can someone help
My fox was in the middle of having the battery relocated to the trunk when I purchased it. I made a batter box for the new battery and mounted in the trunk of my notch. I have a 1/0 power cable and a 1/0 ground cable ran into the trunk.
The power cable is blue and this goes to the starter...
I know, I know. Another guy with the wrong parts trying to make it work. Well… I did make it work. Sorta. I have an 89 lx 4cyl that I swapped in a 93 5.0 along with the 93 ecu and harness while keeping the 89 body harness. With some wire jumping I did get the car to run and drive great with the...
Hey yall, came across a problem with the taillights and fog lights. For some reason when looking at my taillights, my turn signals work, my brake lights work, but when I turn my headlights on, my taillights fail to turn on. Is there a reason why everything works up until I turn my headlights on...
I've posted this question before on another forum but I think the approval system is bugged as I'm still waiting for my post to be posted.
I would like to relocate the starter relay terminal to the trunk where my battery is in my 88 mustang. I have also been doing a fresh installation of all...
Hey everyone! new here, just recently bought a 1990 Fox Body lx hatch with a 5.0. The cars engine was blown up and then replaced with another 5.0 by a shop, but the shop couldn't get it running/customer couldn't afford more labor to fix it. they were suspect of the ecu so I popped it open, found...
I recently got an 85 coupe that was swapped from 4cyl to 5.0. Im trying to get the tach to work. The red wire with green stripe is going to the positive on the coil and the green with white dots is going to the negative. Still doesn’t work. How do I wire the tach up?
I've been chasing an issue ive been having with my 1980 mercury capri (four eye fox) with an 87 302 swapped in . As the title states most times when I press pull the stock back for the high beams the vehicles voltage drops and causes the engine to either almost or completely stall. This happens...
Hello all,
I’m pretty new to the forum and this is my first post. I have a 2004 3.9 V6 and I swapped the upper intake manifold from a 4.2 onto it. I pretty clearly made a mistake, as my car now thinks it is at 18% throttle position (checked with live feed obd2 reader) when I’m completely off the...
Hey guys, I've been using stangnet for a while and I had a question but couldn't find any post online about it so I decided to make an account.
I saw a really nice customer pic of a s197 running quad fog lights on American Muscle. I'd imagine this wouldn't be very difficult other than just...
Hello,
I'd like to begin with saying this is my first post, so let me know if I'm doing something wrong here. The other day I bought a 1993 Calypso Green convertible and its got some problems I can't quite put my finger on yet. The car was originally a 2.3 5 speed, but the previous owner...
I have an 88 lx original V8 car that I’m putting a 5.0 in. I connected everything and yesterday when I put the solenoid on and turn the key I get a two lights on the dash but nothing happens. I put a test light to the solenoid and I’m only getting power on one side. The side where the starter...

We got it for my daughter in Feb and instantly spent $1500 on fixing wiring. The headlights do not work on high if they are turned on. Low beams work but when you click to turn high they go off completely. After $1500 that still doesn't work correctly but enough to get by....

So I tried installing an sve dual electric fan myself, mind you I’ve never done any wiring on a car before, and I think I may have shorted it out but idk. The car won’t crank at all. I ordered a 130 amp alternator as well which I probably should’ve put in first but I wasn’t thinking so yeah...
