    Hanging At 2,000 Rpm

    B303, GT40X, 5 speed Hey guys this car is still hanging at 2,000 RPM for 10 seconds when out of gear then returns to idle. Every now and then it searches to 1500. Here's what's been done recently - TFI Module, Plugs, Cap, Rotor button, Idle Air Bypass, TPS, Coolant Temp Sensor. These are all...

    How Do I Roll Power Window Up?

    I think my switch is bad. The passenger window is stuck down. Can I jumper that switch? I'm waiting on the new one to get here. And the motor has been fine, all the sudden completely dead from both sides. The driver's side works.

    Noob Cam Question

    I have no shame... So what should a b303 feel like? What should my timing be set at? I've read advanced all the way, I've read stock timing. It shakes the whole frikin car and backfires until warm at 14 degrees. I've never had a cammed car before. Should it shake enough to see the motor...

    Codes - Mustang Says...

    Car runs like crap until warm. Battery was disconnected but I plugged back up and ran the codes anyway... I have just replaced the IAB and TPS. ***UPDATED*** I changed the ECT just in case, changed dizzy cap and rotor button, set the TPS to .98. I did the diagnostic again. This time I got...

    Sluggish Starting

    My 93 has HCI, b303. It is very cold hearted. It has to warm up before it will idle on it's own. I've got it set to around 900 rpm. It stumbles down to 500 rpm, kicks up to 2000, slowly comes back down then stumbles again, maybe a slight pop out of the intake when it does this. Takes about 10...

    Dreading Coil Spring Replacement

    I have no idea what kind of springs are under this car, but they are obviously the wrong ones. I installed stock springs on the last 5.0 I had and I swore to God above that I'd NEVER do it again. Well looking at this nonsense is driving me mad and I need to lower the front of this car. I have...

    Hci Install - Surging Idle Pointers

    Since my buddy just bought an 88 GT, I decided to get the cob webs off of the 93 and fix the idle problem. Some points for anyone else going through idle problems, especially after an HCI: 1) You know that set of valve covers you just bought? Make sure you keep all air inside the motor because...

    Wierd 5.0

    My buddy just bought an 88 GT (pictured below). It's got the whole HCI thing done. I drove it back most of the way (200 miles). It didn't take me long to realize that 1st gear was USELESS. Me -> :scratch: Then I get on the highway and I'm in 5th gear at 70 mph turning a little over 3,000...

    Timing Too High, Backfiring After Hci Swap

    For Google purposes. 1993 Notch, 5 speed Problem: After installing GT40X aluminum heads, B303, and a crappy SSI intake, the car backfired out the exhaust, out the intake, and would not run without 30 degrees of timing. Fix: Finally. After the car sat for 2 years, my neighbor did the valve...

    Flooding Gas or Harmonic Balancer

    Hey guys, My 93 (5 speed, 66k) was running great after the H/C/I install last year. The problem was that my timing was either set at or skipped to 30*. I can't remember. I upped the fuel pressure to 50psi like an idiot. :rolleyes: The car started backfiring. I brought timing back down to...

    Gas in the oil pan again... Fuel Pressure Question

    93 5speed 66k HCI Gas is in the oil pan again. Car sputters and surges and pops. I'm guessing I blew the diaphram in the Adj Fuel Pressure Regulator because the last thing I did was jack the fuel pressure up to 55... There are a couple of spark plugs with thick black soot. Heh live and...

    Popping Exhaust, Loss of Power

    93 Notch 5 Speed 66k Gt40X heads B303 Hey guys I recently did an HCI swap on my car. Finally got it running right by adding a 190lph fuel pump. After a 12 mile drive I put it up. When I took it out again a few days later it started sputtering and popping thru the exhaust, and losing power...

    Timing (b303)

    Anyone running a larger than stock cam (preferably a b303)? What is your timing set to? My cam card said 5 degrees advance if I recall. A few months ago when we did the heads we couldn't get the car started so we moved the timing until it started and left it there... Today I took her out...

    Wheels/Lowering Question...

    Here's the problem. As you can see in the pics, my mustang rides way high in the front. Now that we took 70lbs off the front end it's worse than the pics show. I have powder coated black 17x9 4 lug cobra r's all the around. I cannot find this wheel in a 17x8 or a 16x8 for the front. I am...

    Compression ratio... Stock vs. HCI setup

    Hey guys, My 93 notch has GT40X aluminum heads (58cc combustion chamber) and a stock bottom end (65,900 miles). From what I gather, the stock compression ratio is 9:1 and the E7 heads run a 60-62 cc combustion chamber. I know that even my head gasket can change the compression, but what...
