    Drivetrain TKX Shifter Position Question

    Thanks for the detailed explanation, Kurt! That makes perfect sense.

    Drivetrain TKX Shifter Position Question

    Some people get lucky with transmission alignment out of the box, some don't. One of the guys I work with put a TKO500 behind a BB Chevy running in the 450 HP neighborhood without checking. It took around 16k miles before an input shaft bearing let go and took out the trans. He's lucky it didn't...

    Mustang5L5’s progress thread - Rear window fun

    How does the A/C on these cars work? Is the pressure mechanically regulated or does the ECU cycle the compressor from a high pressure sensor? I've never had to work with these systems but it would be good to know. Any overview you can provide would be great. I've worked on modern cars with both...

    Don't forget to hook up the vacuum port once you're ready to start tuning again! Also, with the vacuum port plugged in you'll have to check your rail pressure measurement / setting by [rail pressure measurement PSIG] + [Ambient pressure - MAP] = 39 psi And what was that about cookies???

    Mustang5L5’s progress thread - Rear window fun

    Any time! @nicholase deserves the assist on this one for catching it. I just didn't let up because everything else regarding your transducer setup looked fine (the specs, the wiring, your initial external tests, ...). The only question mark was the MS software. A lot of times these aftermarket...

    Drivetrain TKX Shifter Position Question

    I'm super interested in this as well. Please post pictures when you get it in. It's very hard to find info regarding the TKX and '94-'95 installations. I want to put one in my car, but I don't want to cut up the sheet metal to make it fit. It's been a long time since I've had it apart, so I...

    One other thought to confirm, and this could be wild - with the engine off and ignition on, put a mighty vac on your MAP sensor and pull it down to 40 kPa absolute. See what the MS fuel pressure reading does and confirm that the MS MAP value is going down with the vacuum applied.

    I think this confirms that the MS software is using MAP as a FP reference and giving you the dP across the injector. From what I can see in your picture, the mechanical gauge is reading 37 psi (confirmed in your text) and the ECU is reading MAP at -7.9 psi. If the transducer's raw voltage...

    The sensor itself looks pretty robust in terms of it's range. It's even setup like a production automotive sensor with a functional span from 0.5 V to 4.5 V for short circuit detection. If MS supports diagnostics, you could set a short to ground fault threshold at 0.45 V and short to high at 4.6 V.

    Mustang5L5’s progress thread - Rear window fun

    Maybe a dumb question that you've already covered: are you feeding the pressure transducer 5V and not 12V / system voltage? Have you double checked the stability of the 5V supply / is it really at 5V? I went back to the post with a like to the transducer, and it shows 5V for the Vref. This...

    Mustang5L5’s progress thread - Rear window fun

    Some quick thoughts for the next steps, which I think you might have already done or be headed toward. 1) With the vacuum reference unplugged from the regulator and the manifold side capped, put a mechanical gauge on the fuel rail Schrader valve. Run the engine at idle, set the rail pressure...

    Mustang5L5’s progress thread - Rear window fun

    That's brilliant and makes perfect sense! Have you tried to read the sensor's raw voltage at idle and make the TF calculation yourself? If this hypothesis is true, you'll see about 8-10 psi difference with the ECU reading depending on your altitude and how much idle vacuum your cam allows...

    Dipstick Issue?

    When stuff like this happens, you have to go back to bare-bones basics. Sometimes this means developing a somewhat unconventional procedure and using a lot of extra oil to figure out what's happening. Here are some suggestions to try: Drain the oil from both pan sumps into an empty drain pan...

    Where did you mount the box? There aren't a lot of options in our engine compartments and the pictures might be making it look larger than it really is.

    Excellent pinion angle setup summary! Thank you very much for posting! This could easily be broken-down into a how-to article. Please keep us posted on how you like those arms coupled with the panhard bar. I'm intrigued by that design. I picked up the adjustable J&M Polyball arms a couple of...

    Engine 95 GT and 95 Cobra sensors and TB gasket

    The Cobra intake's stock throttle opening is right at 70mm. Usually the aftermarket TB gaskets support 75 mm throttle bodies, so I think any aftermarket TB gasket should work fine. Also, the stock TPS and IAC should work fine. There's no difference for the Cobra intake.

    Any 1 find any decent blackfriday sales for Foxbody or car stuff?

    I have to agree with others, the Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales were pretty disappointing this year. I was ready to spend some serious coinage with LMR to take care of long-standing wish list items. However, the only markdowns I saw were on J&M products. There weren't any of the usual...

    Dayum... Make Me an 80mm and 90mm Version --- Why??? :cry:

    I LOVE this idea! I get it, fox bodies are starting to draw big money in original or restored form, and there might be a market for parts like this that were frequently deep-sixed as mod #1 back in the day. However, I'm guessing that a stock-like lid that supports an 80 mm or 90 mm MAF could be...

    94 kill switch wire question

    Does this mean you're grounding the coil constantly when the switch is thrown or just interrupting the ground / control circuit? Neither is a good plan. If the switch is constantly grounding the coil when it's in kill mode, the coil might over-heat or catch fire if the ignition is left on since...
