    03 Cobra - Loud pop then odd noise from motor

    Yeah, I actually laughed a little once I narrowed it down.

    03 Cobra - Loud pop then odd noise from motor

    Took it for a spin around the block. The quieter noise comes on occasion, but doesn't last more than a minute or so. I plan on borrowing a friends AC pressure setup to check the lines, and if the system is still pressurized then it should narrow it down to the pulley/clutch on the AC...

    03 Cobra - Loud pop then odd noise from motor

    Ah, if only it were that simple, but I have had this exhaust on it for 4 1/2 years now, and have heard many a backfire. I finally got home and calmly thought through what had happened, and I think I found the source...I hope. Started the car and it sounded fine, just the usually noises and...

    03 Cobra - Loud pop then odd noise from motor

    I have had it since 9/2002, so the 3 year warrentee is looong gone. My current plan is check the easy stuff tonight then take it to a Cobra pro on Saturday.

    04 Cobra Warranty Question

    I have taken my 03 in for service in its current modified state, also for a steering issue if I remember correct. I did turn my chip off (Diablo switch chip), but other than that it was obviously modified, and they didn't give me any grief.

    03 Cobra - Loud pop then odd noise from motor

    Best I can decribe it now is a ticking. Not real loud, but audible inside the car at low speed. It does eseem to be RPM dependant, like a pulley bearing failure would, so that will be my first step. Try the easiest to access and fix parts first. My plan is to spend some time after work...

    03 Cobra - Loud pop then odd noise from motor

    First, a quick description of the car: 2003 Cobra, 21K miles (I know, not driven nearly enough), fairly basic upgrades including air intake, Accufab TB, 2.8" pulley, Bassani X and Cat-back. As I was driving home today I was slowing down around a highway feeder entry ramp, when I heard a LOUD...

    P1506 - Idle Air Control Overspeed - 03 Cobra

    I am at 475 RWHP now and had installed it in anticipation of future work, but then my attention and funding has gone to my bike and my 98 Cherokee (mostly maintenance on the Jeep). I hadn't had any issues until now, and like I said, it just started when I foolishly messed with it. Most of...

    P1506 - Idle Air Control Overspeed - 03 Cobra

    Well, after searching the net some more, I think I may have figured it out. About 3 months ago I tweaked the TB stop so it would idle about 100-200RPM higher. Since then the temp dropped about 40 degrees too. I think if I just adjust the stop screw back in a little, I should get the sensor to...

    P1506 - Idle Air Control Overspeed - 03 Cobra

    Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me at all. I am already on IAC #2, but it was replaced 3 years ago.

    P1506 - Idle Air Control Overspeed - 03 Cobra

    Anyone else had this code pop up on their 03-04 Cobra? It just started showing up on mine. The car still seems to run great, and the code obviously only trips when slowing to an idle in traffic. I have not yet tried troubleshooting it, but I figured I'd ask here first. Some specs on the...

    Something is wrong....I think

    Mine did that shortly before my FRPS crapped out, but I also got an engine code.

    04 SVT and no Ford dealer wants to deal with it...help plz?

    My front end had the same noises, but the dealer here took it in twice to fix it. Now it hasn't done it in over a year. I am confused as to why the dealers won't take it in. Were they not SVT dealers?

    Rearend clunk when I shift gears??

    Isn't there a TSB on this? I seem to remember reading one. Mine does the same thing.
