    Have the Itch...what should I start with?

    Hi guys, I used to roam these forums everyday back when I had my '02 GT. Had lots of mods to it...main one being a MPH Mongoose kit. I've since sold it and now I'm getting the itch to build a 4.6 from the ground up. When I used to be on here daily, places like 'VTengines' were big into...

    Inside of IAC...looks like???

    okay... who here has taken their IAC off and looked at it??? I just had a fellow stangnet member come over and swap his IAC over to my engine to see if it would fix my idle issues...it didn't...but long story short... when I looked in the open hole (that would generally face the...

    Explanation???

    I was wondering if anybody could give me a brief description of what the IAC actually does? I know that it controls the idle and that there is a tiny little solenoid that is inside, but I have no idea how it communicates to the engine, what data it's getting, and the overall purpose of the...

    Why does everybody do this???

    I know that the answer to this is probably really simple and I'm going to feel dumb when it's answered but I searched and didn't see any explanations so... why do all of the instructions to just about every part installation tell you to disconnect the battery before starting??? For...

    IAC Valve Pricing???

    I'm looking to replace my IAC valve because my car has been idling erratically. I called the Ford parts dept. and found that they want $108 for it. I've found off-namebrand versions on ebay for about 1/2 that price. Has anybody ever bought a replacement, and if so, did you go with an...

    horrible startup & idle

    Here are the problems I'm seeing: start the car...rpms jump around a bit and either drop until the car turns off or I can press the gas and they'll hang dramatically for a while and then do the same...a few presses of the gas for about 20secs generally cures the low rpms....but even a 10-15...

    How to clean engine bay?

    First off, let me just say that I live at the beach...and I work all of 50 feet from the sand. My car gets ocean spray constantly, and whenever I pop the hood I can just wipe sand off of things. For as long as I can remember, I've been spraying down my engine w/ degreaser (while the...

    Will this look odd???

    I was looking for a nice matching front tire for my 18x9 rims that would match in height w/ my 305/35/18's and give a good width...275/40/18 seems to be a perfect match but is well over an 1" taller than the stock tires and taller than the 265/35/18's that I had on the car in the past....will...

    Help me Match up my tires

    I'm planning on buying some Mickey Thompson 305/35-18 Street Radial Tires for 18x10 rims, and was wondering what a good looking front tire would be for the 18x9. I couldn't find any matching MT Street tires for the front, and was wondering what other brand names might look good w/ the MT Drags...

    getting upset...nobody carries good bullets anymore

    I decided about two weeks ago to move to bullet wheels (18x9&10's). I like the anthracite color but I don't necessarily like the deep dish fronts. Now nobody carries the 18x9's and the 18x10's as a set unless I go deep dish on all four corners. The three main suppliers are all telling me it...

    Exhaust Routing???

    I've noticed that some of the guys running around here have their exhaust pipes run under the gas tank...I haven't ever thought about it before, but what are the advantages/disadvantages of these setups??? And which companies make their catbacks like that??? It seems that it would greatly...

    Door Lock Relay?

    I believe the door lock relay has gone bad on my stang...anybody know where it is in the car to test it...also, anybody know the part numbers for replacement. The symptoms are as follows: - every once in a while, one of the two doors will react to the switch (lock or unlock)...but the majority...

    XCal 2 Gear Ratio Question

    Everyone, Is there any way to use the SCT X-Cal 2 to change the gear ratios w/out having a 'custom tune'. I'm returning my car to stock, and when I put it on the 'stock tune' it doesn't seem to give me the adjustability to swap gear ratios to correct my speedometer...the other problem is...
