[frankylo]

Ok the two codes they gave me were P1633 and P0113.... Not sure what they mean or are. Oh by the way yesterday I toke the car to a local mechanic shop and they told me that it was missing the Passenger Cat.... and dude the car sound weird because it sounds like it has a loud a** exhaust leak or something but I don't know from where sounds like the manifolds. And when you start the car it hesistats like if it is lacking on gas but once one it's fine. And acceleration is another problem, it like stumbles... anyone have the same syptoms?

P1633 - Keep Alive Power Voltage To Low

OK now I was lookin under the hood right now and I noticed that the Stang has Headers not manifolds and also that there is a empty hole is the passenger side valve cover. Any ideas? Does a plug or PCV valve go there?

I also forgot to mention that on the intake tube after the MAF sensor and before the throttle theres like a little tube but on my car it is plugged with a screw... Again I have no idea.

Sounds like a Frank-en-stang to me.

Where is the IAT Located??? On the same 02 Stang

 

[frankylo]

Still nothing, turns out that theres no IAT Sensor in the intake... I just decided to pull the check engine bulb...

in the side of the air cleaner housing.

that tube goes to the valve cover.

basically telling you that its clearing the codes overnight because of a loss of power to the computer at some point..
the ecm (computer) holds minimal power when you shut the car off to keep
from losing memory. pretty much the same theory as your home p.c. when you shut it off and unplug it for a few days and then plug it back in your p.c. still has the time and date set correctly..because theres a sm . battery in there to keep
all active.. your car ecm uses the battery to stay powered when the car is off..
yes it could be the battery especially if your getting weak cranking in the morning
it could also be a computerglitch, or even a bad ecm..

Thanks for your help....

What do you mean by computerglitch? And what would be a good sized battery for my 02 V6 Auto Stang?
