    Car runs like Crap

    Hey guys, Been out for a while. Need your expertise. I returned My 96 GT to stock (NPI cams, NPI intake, stock tune) since I am selling it to a friend and that is how he wanted it. Now it runs awful, it will idle fine but at 2800+ rpm's it really struggles to get moving but there are no DTC's...

    Draining Battery = Bad Seat Switch

    Just found out last week the reason my battery kept running down was a bad power seat switch that was stuck in the "on" position! Turns out it burned up my seat track motor and blew the 25 amp fuse. Lucky the car didn't burn down. Anyways went to the U-Pull-It wrecking yard and got a manual...

    93 MK VIII Motor

    Hey guys, Been out a while but I always return for your expertise. Anyways, I can get a 93 Lincoln MK VIII motor for cheap from an associate and I am wondering is it feasible to use it for a build-up block for a PI engine? I plan to do an engine swap in the near future so just toying with...

    Rough Idle and DTC 0305

    Need someone's expertise, my 96 GT is idling a little rough and I pulled a code with my handy-dandy Hypertech tuner and it says P0305; the manual states it is a "misfire detection monitor and/or circuit fault". Is this the IAC or what else causes this? I want to exhaust all possibilities...

    Did you know....?

    I was at the San Diego auto museum this past weekend, and they were showing an old video of how Ford made Mustangs. I could tell by the taillights they were 94-95 Stangs. Anyways, the video said the most popular color for Mustangs is red and 1/3 of Mustangs made are convertibles! The verts...

    Rear end grind/clunk noise gone..

    Some of you were complaining of your rear differential making metallic grinding/creaking noises when going over bumps or taking curves. Same here, so I replaced the upper control arms with the FRPP ones and the upper bushings attached to the pumpkin with new stock ones. It turns out the...

    Ford 70 mm Throttle Body

    Just a question for those that know. I installed a Ford 70 mm TB from a 5.4, it is NOT FRPP. There is a little more power and the exhaust tone changed (very cool) but the RPM's "hang" for several seconds at about 1,200 rpm's before it goes to 800. It is a little annoying. Will a dyno-tune...

    Just installed Bassani Catted X

    I bought a used Bassani catted-X from another Stangnetter, and had a shop install it since it looked like a PITA. I was very impressed with the quality and fit of the Bassani X-pipe. For example, the X-pipe has threaded mounts for BOTH pairs of O2 sensors. No pesky mil-eliminators needed...

    Just picked up a Bassani catted X. Who has info on making your own rear O2 sensor elims.? I remember someone did a writeup with the needed parts and instructions. Thanks in advance.

    Good UCA's and LCA's for the money?

    I'm in the market for some upper and lower control arms since my 10 year old stockers are old and seem to make noise during hard cornering. Anyways I've seen the whole gamut of control arms from Steedas to Blue Oval Industries. I just don't feel like spending $400+ on this and I was wondering...

    Lincoln Mk VIII block

    I have an opportunity to purchase an engine from a 98 Lincoln Mk VIII. My question is whether I can use the block and crank for a SOHC buildup. I think the block is aluminum but I am not sure. Is the crank forged or cast? Any input appreciated.

    Spark plug boot keeps popping out....

    I did a compression test on my stang last week. I then re-installed the original plugs since they were all burning clean. However, now the #4 plug (passenger side) wire keeps popping out at the head. I tightened the wire's socket with pliers but it still pops out when I drive for a few miles...

    Anderson tool rocks!!

    Just finished installing PI cams and PI intake w/adapter plates on my 96 GT vert today. The car started right up and there were no leaks, CEL or misfires. The low-end is about the same but it now pulls nicely from 3000 to 5000+ rpm's. No mas pig! :banana: The Anderson tool made for a...

    Do I need new Valve Springs?

    I picked up some 2002 PI cams to install in my 96 GT. However, I am wondering if I should replace the valve springs while I'm at it. I know replacing the springs is a PITA while the heads are on the block. My car has 79k easy miles and the only "mod" the engine has is a CAI. Anybody's...
