Hey guys, I know there are similar threads out there but every set up is different so I decided after much research to start this one and get your thoughts..
I have 88 mustang gt. Mods so far are:
mass air/a9L install (year ago)
cobra upper/lower intake
GT40 heads
65mm TB
73mm Mass air calibrated
bbk headers
accel 19lbs injectors
cold air fender intake
Initial start up went smooth, rough at first as expected. Did a few cold starts, let the car run for 10-15 to get up to temp then shut it down for 5 hours. The temp got to roughly 200? (stock temp gauge isnt much help but sat right in the middle) which seems like its a little higher than it used to be. So anyway, After a few start ups, the car idle eventually evens out and stays running, but when I turn it off and turn it back on if I dont give it gas it stalls. Today I decided to drive it to put some higher octane gas in it, the temp stayed consistant in the middle, but when I got to the gas station, put it in park it stalled again. Driving home I decided to give it a little push, nothing major, just to get it up to 3000 rpm and the temp shot way up, rolled into the drive way and stalled again. I replaced the TFI module about a year ago so doubt its that.
couple of things im thinking:
1. do i need a fuel pressure regulator with the new injectors?
2. do i possibly have a coolant problem?
3. sensor problem?
4. timing problem?
88 Mustang Gt - Second Start Up - YouTube is a link to my second start up. any suggestions?
Thanks!!
