    Plastic piece on driver door lock cylinder

    So I was investigating as to why I could not manually unlock my driver door on my 95 mustang and found that the plastic piece that goes on the lock cylinder to move the connecting rod up and down broke off. I have tried with no luck to just find the plastic, has everyone found just the plastic...

    Transmission filter change gone wrong

    So I went to do the first transmission filter change on the 95 mustang v6 I inherited besides the fact I dropped the pan and made a mess I found something extra in the fluid. Luckily I found it before I put the pan back on. I looked and could not figure out where it went. Also I assume the...

    Wrong Setup?

    Wrong Setup?

    I was hoping you would not say that. One thing I have done is block all the tubes coming out of the intake and measured the vacuum which is still at the 10-11. So to me it looks like vacuum is being lost inside the engine. I was reading about the leak down test which I guess could be where I...

    Wrong Setup?

    Recently I was getting the sign on valve seals leaking so I changed them and decided I should change the spark plugs as well. When I pulled the 3, 4, and 7 plugs they were coated with oil. I put the engine back together and it sounds a lot better. The TFS heads on the car are the old style...

    Fuel Pressure Problems on long drives

    I recently moved further away from my work so I added about 20 miles each way. Since my fuel gauge isn't working I would fill up when the trip odometer would hit about 120. One day the fuel pressure dropped from the 40 to 20 and the car suddenly died when the odometer was reading 76. I had...

    Different Cam?

    I checked voltage on TPS and noticed that was at .7 then noticed that the screw on the bottom the throttle was backing out. Got a longer screw and nut to lock it in place adjusted my base idle to around 750 (best guess using stock tach) and then adjusted TPS to 0.98 on my meter. Also read...

    Different Cam?

    I did notice that when I tried adjusting the idle speed when the idle was up in the 1k-1500 range the vaccum was pulling 15-20.

    Different Cam?

    It has the stock cam now and I can't remember the shop but the ports were opened to the max. The heads are the old style twisted wedge heads.

    Different Cam?

    Lately I have been having a problem with accerlation under full throttle. Normal driving is fine and on the highway accerlation is fine. This just happens at a stop. I am only getting 10" at idle when in drive but goes up to 15" when in park. The car is strugging to get to 3K but once its...

    Where to look?

    Thanks j for the advice. I have changed about 90% of the lines over the last two years. The engine has about 80k on it. I put heads and intake on about 2 years ago. I did notice a better accleration when I retorqued the lower intake. So this sounds like a leak and nothing wrong with...

    Where to look?

    I have a stock cam so 18 should probably be the reading.

    Where to look?

    I'm pretty sure that there is a vacuum leak. I installed some gauges to watch what was going on when driving the car. I have problems when a I punch it at a dead stop the car bogs down. The fuel pressure gauge stay constant at 40-41 psi through normal driving and WOT. The vacuum gauge reads...

    Vacuum Leak?

    Went and checked the lower intake after looking up some posts. The lower was a little loose so torqued them to 18 ft/lbs. Also replaced the upper intake gaskets with thicker ones. Noticed that there was a fair amount of oil in the upper intake. Only give me the 11 codes and cylinder balance...

    Vacuum Leak?

    Did all three test, I got 11 on the three and on cylinder balance test the code kept giving different numbers. 8,6 the first run and the 2,1 the second run, and 5,3 the third one. Going to buy a manual had one but its falling apart from being used a lot. Also noticed fuel pressure was at 35...

    Vacuum Leak?

    Could it be the cam? Just wondering if this problem is due to the cam/head setup. After thinking about it, the problem showed up after I put the heads on. I still have the stock cam in. The person I got the heads off of had a custom cam and he would not sell it to me.
