It's fixed! It runs ok now and the vibration is also gone. I just got home an hour ago, I don't like to call customers after 9pm so I will call you in the morning. I still need to wide band it and set the air fuel ratio but it will live!

what was wrong with it

AllFordPerf · May 20, 2005

Nothing Now. I will let the owner post the cause if he wishes.

1993c0bra · May 20, 2005

The suspense must be killing ya!

See folks, this is why you take things to the pros. What could have taken me months to diagnose probably took them no time at all. AFP has my loyalty for sure.

The suspense is killing me too. I'm guessing a broken flywheel bolt. When I find out tommorow, I'll surely post it here. No matter how embarassing it may be for me.

AFP rules.

Now you guys just need to clone yourselves and have a shop up north to.

And the winner is...

U Joints!!!

The red blur guessed this one too. Thank goodness for AFP, who knows how many parts I would have replaced before getting to that point

let it be a lesson for all of us!

shoulda just got an aluminum driveshaft. the vibrating will come back in no time.

gospeedgo · May 20, 2005

let me guess, your uncle is a mechanic?
why would the vibration "come back in no time"? The joints looked to be original...and lasted this long...but there again, I am just a dumb mechanic that works on cars for a living (and hasnt lost a finger to a spring yet )

Waste of money on Vert mounts, see them break on STOCK Verts.

I went with Poly mounts, worth the coin in the end............

The Spring Tamer

gospeedgo · May 20, 2005

Convert mounts are minimally stronger than standard, but nothing compared to poly. poly mounts are great but if you dont mind the shakes they give ya, just go solid. I had solids in my car and loved them. Probably overkill for a daily driver however.

YardSpecial · May 20, 2005

Funny, mine never shaked that much with polys, guess my SMOOTH tune helped !

When I get back home, poly is going in the 02 Vert.

John Force launchs are hard on parts............

Aw, shoot. I guessed... I mean, diagnosed... a thrown driveshaft weight. Is there a second place?

Stupid mechanics, there just mad cause there broke.

gospeedgo · May 20, 2005

Mad? nobodys mad....just confused how you are more "in the know" than someone who works on Fords for a living...and seems to do a pretty good job at it. We have lots of cars running around with steel drivelines and havent had them be nearly as unreliable as you are trying to prove. Besides, aluminum is crazy expensive right now, why not wait till its cheap. U-joints are a very small fraction of what a new shaft runs.

The broke part...well what can I say, we dont rape our customers but still make a living. What more do you want?

Stang Source.....hows it feel now?

I live in Oregon and my shop is in Washington, that is north! Just kidding. Thanks for the kind words. Every year when we drive up to the round up in Belleview It makes me appreciate all of the people who drive down to have us work on their stuff.

Also try to pay attention to if the vibration goes away when you apply very, VERY light throtle.... but then returns when you let off at all (possible u-joint)

Dave-

Who guessed the u-joint again.....
