    2000 GT dying at idle

    My girlfriend's 2000 Mustang GT is having trouble dying while coasting or at a stop. The car runs great and starts right up, but about twice a week it will randomly die. Any idea what it could be? The car is completely stock and has 75k miles on it. Thanks!

    good replacement TFI module?

    Does anybody know of a good replacement TFI module? Should I go with a Motocraft one or a performance one? I was thinking about getting the Performance Distributor's Dyna-Mod, heard anything good about it? Thanks!

    car hesitating after ignition install

    I just finished installing an MSD 6AL ignition and TFI Blaster coil with the Ford/MSD wiring harness. Anyway, after hooking everything up and starting it up I noticed a little problem that didn't exist before. When I punch the gas pedal it hesitates before revving out. It's like it bogs for just...

    car back-fired then died, wtf?

    On my way back from emissions testing (which I failed miserably), the car started doing things it has NEVER done. It would back-fire insanely and then die. It did not do this once, but nearly 6 times on my way home. I would be driving it, the rpms would spike quickly down really low and the car...

    Anyone with a catted H-pipe?

    I was wondering if anyone could help me out and let me borrow their catted H or X-pipe for long-tube headers? My car (1992 GT) has 3-month expired tags and I bought two brand new cats I was going to have welded in but the exhaust shops that would do it (there were few) wanted over $200! That was...

    Strange idle problem

    Here is the problem I've been having ever since I took off my lower intake manifold and then reinstalled it (it was leaking oil before): whenever I am coming to a stop, and put the car in neutral, it remains idling high (like 1500-1800 rpms) until I come to a complete stop. If I put the car in...

    Dyno Numbers in!

    Well I dropped my car off with Jeff from All Ford Performance on Tuesday, then picked it up yesterday. My car would idle like crap whenever I started it up (whether warm or cold), and it smoked a lot when I started it up also. I also asked Jeff to dyno it. Well now it idles great and doesn't...

    blue smoke at startup

    Just wondering what it means when the car blows blue smoke when its first started up? That is the only time it smokes by the way. It never used to smoke like this before I did the H/C/I. Any ideas? The car also leaks oil now, which it also never did before. But the oil leaking isn't really a...

    Pro-M question- install problem! *pics*

    Well I just got my 80mm Pro-M in the mail. I've been running a 73mm C&L for the last couple weeks, and today I went to try to install the Pro-M and noticed some problems. I've been using a Mac fenderwell cold air intake for awhile and the Pro-M comes with a filter attached to it, here's a pic...

    Trick Flow H/C/I installed- now idle problems!

    I finally started my car up with the Trick Flow street heat H/C/I kit. It comes with the Twisted Wedge heads, stage 1 cam, and street heat intake. I'm also running 24lb injectors, 73mm C&L MAF, Kirban AFPR, stock throttle body, and 255lph fuel pump. When I first started the car, it barely idled...

    Throttle body/EGR install problem!

    I have the TFS street heat intake, and yesterday I tried mounting the stock throttle body/EGR plate on it, and it kept rubbing against my Kirban AFPR. The silver canister in the back of the EGR plate is the problem, it sticks out too much. Anyone else have this problem? Suggestions? If I buy an...

    Summit radiator problem

    My H/C/I install is just about done, only real problem now is finding an upper and lower radiator hose that works with the Summit universal 31x19 two-core aluminum radiator. The inlets are too big to use the stock hose. I spent over an hour at Baxter's looking at all the different hoses trying...

    Need help locating where to connect hose

    I was wondering if anyone can figure out what this hose is for and where it goes? The other end of the hose isn't connected to anything either. The black plastic and metal canister in the bottom of the pic is wired into the harness if that helps any. Any ideas? Thanks!

    thermostat question

    I got a Motocraft 180* thermostat to replace the stock one, and I noticed that the new thermostat doesn't have a bleeder valve on the top like the stock one had. Is this going to cause any problems? I had a suggestion to drill a 1/8" hole in the new one (where the old thermo had a bleeder) so...

    Lubing clutch cable

    My clutch cable is squeeking an awful lot and it is getting annoying. It squeeks when I depress the pedal. I'm pretty sure the cable needs to be lubed. Any idea how to do this? Thanks!

    Upper Intake help needed! *pics*

    I'm about ready to put on my upper intake manifold, but I haven't figured out where all the hoses underneath the intake go. I'm switching from a stock intake to a Trick Flow Street Heat intake by the way. In this pic you can see that I've installed all the necessary fittings and hoses to the...
