    Lean Code Since Installing New Throttle Body

    Hey guys, I bought a BBK 62mm TB for my car a few days ago. The install went smoothly, I got the TPS voltage almost exactly where it was before, and the car ran great, for about a day. Then the CEL came on, checked the code and one was P0171 and P0430. I know about the P0430 already, I'm not...

    New car

    Hey guys, been quite a while since I last posted, hope everyone is doing well. I bought an 09 GT 5 spd last week, and so far I love it. But I seem to be having a minor issue with the shifter. I think the shift handle is a bit out of alignment or something, because the shift boot/ knob rubs...

    Lots of blue smoke.

    Hey guys, for a while now my Mustang has been pushin some blue smoke out of the tailpipes. It does it on hard acceleration, or coasting down a hill when i get back on the gas. I'm thinking it might be valve seals, but at the same time I wonder if it could be rings ( hoping not). I compression...

    Temp gauge not working.

    I know they aren't accurate, I just wish the thing would work. I just got through putting a new temp sender in and it still doesnt budge. What would be the next step from here?

    UD pulleys

    Hey guys, I'm thinking about picking up a set of UD pulleys and I'm wondering if I need any special tools for this job. I've heard you need some sort of puller to get the crank pulley off the motor but not sure if this is true or not. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Mach 1 04 Mach 1 auto

    Hey guys, I see a red 04 auto for sale, at a decent price too. Does anyone know what a stock auto would run in the 1/4? I'm guessing high 13's? Thanks!

    Lifters tap on cold start.

    Hey guys, it's been very cold here lately and my lifters have been tapping like crazy when I start it in the morning. It wouldn't bother me if they tapped for a few seconds then stopped, but it takes like 4 or 5 minutes of driving before they finally quiet down. Is there anything I could do...

    Intake spacer worth the time?

    Hey guys, I was thinking about picking up a 1/2" plenum spacer, figured maybe it would make a little performance difference. Has anyone done one and what do you think of it? Thanks!

    Gas gauge doesn't work.

    My gas gauge has been acting up for a while now, it will read accurately when i first start the car up, but when i start driving it gradually drops down to empty and will stay there. Sometimes when I get on it hard the needle will move back up to where it should be but that doesn't last long...

    Oil consumption?

    So my car seems to use alot of oil, like a quart every 3 or 400 miles. I checked the compression, 125-130 on all eight, which doesnt seem bad. My number two plug gets fouled quite easily, was soaked with oil last time I checked it, all the other ones looked perfect. If I get on it hard, it...

    Car leans to one side?

    I've noticed lately that my car seems to sit lower on one side than the other. I can only notice it in the rear. I measured from the ground to the wheel lip and sure enough the right rear sits about 3/4 of an inch lower than the other side. Anyone know what could cause this? Only suspension mods...

    Possible race coming up.

    So a friend of mine just picked up an 89 Corvette recently, and of course he thinks it will spank my 95. I havent really said much back to him, mainly because I have no idea how those cars run. It's a stick and its bone stock, Tuned Port 350. How will I do? Thanks!

    What should I expect at the track tomorrow?

    Well seeing as the track will be closing in a few weeks I think I'll go and get a few runs in. I'm not sure what I can expect this thing to run, mods are in my sig. Also a few other things done to it are 3.27 gears, shift kit, and I kicked up the timing a bit. It's supposed to be about 60*...

    Reasonable price for 98 Cobra?

    Hey guys, I was browsing through some ads today and noticed a yellow 98 Cobra for sale, at a small dealer. It has 82k miles on it, and a few small mods ( black 18" Bullitt wheels, BBK intake, Flowmaster exhaust) They are asking $10,900, which sounds kinda high to me. The car looks really clean...

    Smoke on decel?

    Another thing I've noticed with this car is that it has some blow by on decel, mostly higher rpm decel. I'm thinking it might be valve guides, hopefully not rings. It's definetly blue smoke, I've heard some people saying that a catless x pipe will make smoke pass through easier, but either way I...

    Rough idle and loss of power?

    Hey guys, I recently bought a 95 Mustang, was a V6 and was converted to a 5.0 a few years ago. Anyway, when I first got it the car didnt seem to be running right, smelled very rich and the idle was pretty lopey, almost like it had a mild cam. The next day I broke down with the car, ended up...

    X pipe question.

    Hey guys, I took the X pipe off my car ( 5 spd) and my friend with his 03 GT auto wants to buy it. But before he does I was curious to know if this will work on his car being an auto. Thanks!

    More transmission problems

    Hey all, as some of you may remember I've been having problems with my tranny grinding into 3rd gear at WOT. That problem has steadily been getting worse, but now its doing something else that seems odd. When I'm on the highway in 5th gear cruising at 70mph or anywhere around there, I hear a...

    Transmission question

    Hey guys, pretty soon I'll be taking my car into the dealer to have them do something with the tranny. It grinds into 3rd pretty badly, but only under hard acceleration. I'm wondering if the dealer will even warranty this problem, seeing as it only happens when you rev the piss out of it and...
