    Post pics of how your foxbody currently sits

    It's pretty straightforward. Check out this video for a walk through on prep. Its a different product from what i used but prep is the same. For me the raail products spray smoother and are easier to work with than plasti dip. View: https://youtu.be/7J6rRj98A5s

    Post pics of how your foxbody currently sits

    The hood is vinyl wrapped with vvivid vinyls color called satin chrome black rust and the car is a spray wrap from a product called Raail Airwrap. Its sprayed with a pearl called Europa. I did a light pearl load to keep the green darker and it shifts to a gold/blue/purple color. Raail.com is...

    Painting Exterior Trim

    I used the rustoleum flat black trim paint from home depot. It turned out great on my side mirrors, restored quarter windows, and door window frames. I can try and get some pics tonight then I get home.

    wiring help/connector identification

    Sorry jrichker I thought I had put it was a '91. Trust me i know the year models change wiring through the years. Ive spent all weekend looking at diagrams lol. Thanks for the info about the multifuntion switch. I did try replacing the one in my 91 with the one from my 87 and had no idea...

    wiring help/connector identification

    Im trying to get power to my chassis harness (lights, gauges, signals, etc.). I've hit a snag today in that something is draining my battery. Everything seems to have power but the light output seems to be less than half of optimal. When I turn on my headlights they are very dim. If I unplug...

    Idle issue still going on.......

    The engine is completely stock and its an '87 just for reference. Jrichker, I've done that a few times and it would set at 600 just fine but once the IAC is plugged back in the surge reappears. Like I've said everything on the check list has been done a few times. The vacuum lines were all...

    Idle issue still going on.......

    So Ive been fighting this idle issue for some time. I followed the idle surge checklist to a T a few times and pulled codes KOER and KOEO and get an 11. Did a cylinder check and everything turned out fine. I finally gave up and took it to a friend whose a mechanic and has been in the mustang...

    rearend swap/ back spacing questino

    I got a chance to buy a 94-98 rearend with 4.10s installed to swap onto my 91 fox. I was wondering if anyone knew the backspacing requirement to fit rims on it. Im looking to get 17x9 rims and wouldnt mind deep dish on the back. Im not wanting any other "mustang" rims either. I'd rather...

    Engine swap question

    I currently have an 87 mustang (speed density) that runs strong and doesnt burn oil. Im thinking about buying a 91 roller to swap everything into because the roller is in great shape bodywise and the interior looks almost brand new. The cost of the roller is probably 1/4 the price it would...

    Cant get rid of code 34

    One quick question. Would the code 34 be causing hesitation at WOT?

    Cant get rid of code 34

    ok thanks guys. ill have to do these other checks as soon as i get more free time. Spent the afternoon doing the 3g alt swap and it took longer than expected. Since the battery was unplugged ill have to wait until the code comes back up.

    Cant get rid of code 34

    OK so I changed out the solenoid which seemed to fix the constant vacuum but the car still idles up and down. I checked the ohm and got an infinite loop, using a Fluke meter so i know its accurate. Im getting no other codes but a 34. The sensor, valve, and solenoid are now new. I checked the...

    02 sensor won't fit between longtubes and pan

    Plug the existing O2 bungs and have new ones tapped. Thats probably your only option.

    Cant get rid of code 34

    So I changed out my egr sensor which was in fact bad and also the egr valve. I still have the code 34 and an idle issue. The egr solenoid is pulling vacuum even at idle, which I thought I read wasnt normal. The vacuum lines arent backwards, i double checked that already. I know theres...

    Worst header install to date

    My cheapo summit brand LTs went on fairly easy and have worked fine. The driver side was a little tricky but would have been easy with a lift to raise the car high in the air. Next time i install LTs im sure with a buddy helping it could be done in about 2 hours or less.

    ECT sensor question

    Well just to update I finally got the idle issue fixed. This past weekend I started getting a code 34 so i replaced the egr sensor. The code still stuck around (maybe the car needed to drive for a bit) so I pulled off the throttle body and egr plate. The egr plate had 23 years of carbon built...

    Sport vs. Tri-Ax?

    I like my Tri Ax but its not really that short of a throw. If I did it again I'd go with something else.
