    Steeda 19 users: vacuum at idle?

    Whatcha getting for idle vacuum? I've got a friend with a stock 5.0 (recently built), 95 GT, trickflow package with the TFS cam swapped out for a Steeda 19 (original intent was no tuning). I'm seeing about 14 inches of vacuum at idle, which to my mind seems pretty low -- that's only about...

    Ariel Atom

    Tonight at DQ & SB24, the topic of the Ariel Atom came up a few times, so I thought I'd post a bit more info for those people who didn't know what it is. This would be a fun track car for sure. 220 bhp naturally aspirated 300 bhp with supercharger option 1005 pounds 0-60 in 2.89 seconds 0-100...

    Balky cruise control

    Anybody have experience with a balky cruise control -- specifically, what I'm seeing is that the CC won't keep the car at a steady speed. It gives a lot of throttle, overshoots the set speed by a couple mph, then closes the throttle and coasts until it undershoots the set speed, again by a...

    Anyone have a spare EGR tube laying around?

    You know, the one that goes between the EGR valve and the header. I lost mine, and I'd like to make my EGR functional again. If you deleted your EGR and still have the tube, PM me please. Thanks! Dave

    Romac balancer spun? Can't be...?

    So here is the current situation and history... 1. Took car out today on a 40 mile trip to burn off fuel. In the tank is two year old premium unleaded. 2. At warm idle noticed occasional mild surging 3. Noticed that at high load, say 3500+ RPM, audible pinging. 4. On the way home filled up...

    HairyCanary lives again!

    Yay! Too bad it is back to slow (stock). My STI would waste it :(. But it does have nice torque off the line. Been a while since I drove a car that could spin the rear tires with an idle launch... :D

    Could someone look at their TPS for me please...

    And tell me what order the three wires are in. I don't have a connector, so I have to connect them manually, but I don't know the order. I could try it all six ways... but it would be easier if someone could just run out to their car and look for me ;-) Thanks!

    Vacuum routing

    I've had the car apart so long I have forgotten the routing of a few of the vacuum lines. My original PCV hose rotted so I have a new length, but it's been a while since I saw the old one so I'm trying to remember how this all works. There is a fitting on the elbow of the intake if I remember...

    Anyone have a stock TPS laying around?

    I'm having a hard time finding a TPS that is compatible with my stock throttle body. Ford has two of them -- 45 bucks, and 90 bucks. I bought the cheaper one, and it does not work with my throttle body. I went to the local auto parts store and looked at what should have been identical to the...

    Different TPS for 94/95 ... which one to get?

    I'm trying to find a new TPS sensor for my car, and I've found that we have two part numbers that apply to 94/95 Mustang GTs. One is about $50, the other about $90, and I can't find what the functional or mechanical difference is between the two. And I don't have my stock TPS anymore to...
