    Expired Re-manufactured Acdelco Starter 19136117 336-1808 96 97 98 Cobra Mustang

    I bought this starter from RockAuto for a 97 Mustang Cobra, 4.6 DOHC 32 valve. I think it was around $100. It only came out of the box for pictures as I didn't need it and then sold the car. I'm sure it will fit other engines so please check the part numbers before buying because I do not...

    Clutch Pressure?

    I have a 2008 GT/CS. Is there any way to reduce the clutch pedal pressure? It's stock.. I sold my '97 Cobra because the clutch was the old cable with a stiff pressure plate. I'm pretty much disabled in my left foot/leg and I need a way to drive my car and enjoy it at the same time.

    Key programming in Charlotte NC

    I only have one working key for my car and I'm looking for a shop in or around Charlotte NC that can delete all keys and program the computer for 2 new ones. I have an extra transponder key cut to turn the cylinder but the car doesn't recognize it. A locksmith can do it for $150-200 but that...

    Another Alternator Whine thread.

    Backround: 2008 GT/CS bought last year with 31k. Everything was perfectly quiet and smooth when I bought it but little by little I started hearing a whine. Today is a nice day so I popped the hood and got out the stethoscope. Power steering pump sounds usual for a Ford (kinda noisy), AC...

    Trip Computer Question (gas mileage)

    How does the on board trip computer calculate gas mileage? It's miles per gallon and I know how the car knows "miles". How does it know gallons? Is there some sort of sensor on the fuel line that measures the volume of fuel or does it use the duty cycle of 8 stock fuel injectors? Anyone know?

    Edelbrock vs. Ford Racing Supercharger

    I'm looking to add some reliable horsepower to my 2008 GT. Has anyone installed an Edelbrock E-Force supercharger on their GT? If so, what is your opinion? It doesn't have much boost but it claims to be very efficient and I'm sure the tune is conservative. Has anyone installed the Ford...

    Yet another SCT Tuner question

    Engineering whiz question.?!

    Here's the problem I'm having. My latest car (2008 GT/CS) came with an aftermarket trailer hitch installed. I know, what would you want to pull with a Mustang. Anyway, I removed it while removing the axleback to install the new ones and I need to get the bolts out of the frame rail. A web...

    Pypes Violator Mufflers?? turbo?

    Are the Pypes Violator axle back mufflers turbo or chambered? American Muscle has them listed as chambered and Summit has them as turbo. I need to order some mufflers ASAP, this stock exhaust is getting on my nerves. It's doo damn quiet.

    Cabin Filter Question!

    I purchased a new cabin filter for my 08 and the darn thing doesn't have any arrows on it designating flow direction. Any filter I've ever installed, be it auto, home, RV, whatever, it always had a direction marked on it if the filter could be reversed. Does it really make a difference? Maybe...

    Another exhaust question ;)

    Just got rid of my 97 Cobra and bought a 2008 GT/CS. The Cobra was slammed to the ground, hence rough riding, and pretty loud with x-pipe and drone masters. The 2008 is bone stock except for new tires. I'm looking for some axle backs that sound a little louder than stock, but nothing loud...

    08 GT spring help

    This might be more talk than tech but here goes. I'm looking at an 08 GT to replace my 97 Cobra. I love my Cobra but I need something that will travel the highway without killing my back. The 08 GT I'm looking at is bone stock, meaning it's sitting up like a 4x4. What springs would bring it...

    Data logger

    Does anyone know of a decent PC based data logger? I have a universal OBDII/USB interface and some freebie software but it will not record the data. My car is still running like crap at high rpm and I'm tired of messing with it. Thanks in advance, Steve

    lower intake vs carb cleaner??

    Finally getting around to cleaning my IMRC plates and intake ports. Question: Is it OK to use carb cleaner on the lower intake manifold? It looks like it's put together with some kind of epoxy or something. I'm afraid the carb cleaner will eat this stuff up.

    HELP, No more high RPM

    I have a 1997 Cobra with a few engine mods. C&L inlet pipe, CAI, Flowmasters, high flow cats, that's about it. It ran great last year but this spring I have nothing over 5000. The hit is still there around 3500 (IMRC) but then it just peters out and sputters. Any suggestions? The engine has...
