    Seafoam is teh *****!

    Guess I'll be the first to say that all seafoam did was turn my money into smoke. It was still worth it for the smoke. Anyway, I ran a can in my Explorer. It fouled a plug which is ok since I was changing them anyway. Couldn't really notice any difference otherwise. Ran a can in my...

    My Mustang came from hell...

    I think that's more of a case with Mustang owners anyway. I was just tired of working on mine more than driving it. Mustangs have their good parts too though... Don't have to live in wheelhop city.

    My Mustang came from hell...

    Still hadn't put the Mustang up for sale, but picked this up today :) I LOVE it! No comparison to the Mustang in any way. Even better gas mileage. The best part is I finally don't have to drive around with 100 different rattles going on. Recommend one to anybody. Just...

    You guys have to check out this garage I just went to!

    He's a businessman and also drives Grand Am and prototype races. I'm not going to say on here who he is and where he lives, etc. Enjoy the cars :) Yeah I certainly wouldn't mind one. I don't think he completely dislikes it, he just said it's nothing special. Said if you drove a Mustang, you...

    You guys have to check out this garage I just went to!

    Man you guys are hard to please :) He certainly has the money. The cars are nothing compared to his planes. Probably 20 Million worth. They moved there not long ago. Those garages are actually 2 different ones that are new and still getting finished. He's an investor now. Races Grand Am...

    You guys have to check out this garage I just went to!

    Some of the cars this guy had. I didn't take pictures of other cars like Maserati, another Porsche, Escalades, etc. Aston Martin. 1 of 99 made. Another Aston Martin. F40 Another Ferrari. Maybach - couldn't get a very good picture since that thing is so big...

    My Mustang came from hell...

    I'd doubt that. I had the carpet out of it for cleaning and everything. No sign of water anywhere except that connector.

    My Mustang came from hell...

    Yeah I won't blame the rebuilt engine. I think the previous guy was the problem. I know now that it already had that broken piston when I got it. Surprised more wasn't damaged with the tune he had on that chip. Could have already had some damage to the bearings and I finished it off.

    MY CAR WON'T START, PLEASE HELP!!!

    Is the battery cable the only thing you disconnected? Did you disconnect the big wiring harness connector? Also, I had ended up with water in my ECU connector(inside the car) I was causing all sorts of craziness including the theft light and no starting.

    My Mustang came from hell...

    Thanks! That first time I got it back together and it knocked, I really did want to just floor the hell out of it till something exploded or wreck it into a tree but glad I didn't now. I think I'm going to try to get a Vette once I sell this thing. Or 03/04 Cobra. Always a gamble buying used...

    My Mustang came from hell...

    Got the crankshaft turned... New bearings... Got it all together, fired it up found it knocking above 2000rpm. Thinking something was for sure wrong with the bearings again, I pulled the engine the next day. Only took me 2 hours to pull the engine the second time though and 4 hours...

    Fed up with my car and the idle

    Yeah I don't know how it got there, but the connecter to the ECU inside the cabin was full of water. Everything else was dry. You should also check your sensor voltages. Mine were going all over the place. I spent all day tracing and checking wires. The OHM meter wasn't showing any abnormalities...

    Fed up with my car and the idle

    Check your vref voltages at different sensors. They should be almost 5v. Mine was doing about the same thing as yours and randomly going crazy. That p0500 is a VSS malfunction. Does your speedometer do anything abnormal? I had a ton of water in my ECM connector under the kickpanel inside...

    Low VREF voltages and speedometer going crazy after engine install.

    Problem FIXED :D :D :D I don't know how but I had a TON of water in the connector to the ECU(inside under the kickpanel). No Idea how it could have got there. No trace of water anywhere else. When I took the connector apart, water just poured out. Also found a Diablo Delta Chip plugged in...

    Nothing like installing your engine only to have to pull it again the next day...

    Thanks... Found a piston and the rings from Summit. 60$ I needed a .50mm oversize. I didn't really want to redo the rest of them. I'm selling this thing anyway and don't want to spend anymore than I have to. The engine was a Ford rebuilt engine and only had 25k on it when all this happened...

    Low VREF voltages and speedometer going crazy after engine install.

    I have some really weird electrical problems. 99 GT. I just got the engine back in (for the 2nd time) and my speedometer is going crazy. Sitting still, it will randomly jump all over the place and sometimes pegs 150 and my odometer runs at the same time. With the ignition on and the engine off...
