    89 GT Won't Start.. HELP

    FIXED!! It was the computer. After verifying the old computer was getting power, put in a new one and she started right up. Thanks for everyone's help and thanks to Jrichker for all the links and schematics. They really helped out.

    89 GT Won't Start.. HELP

    Picked up a Noid light kit, but the one labeled for Ford does not fit the injection harness. Tried some of the others and they seem to fit, but doesn't even light up. Also tried to pull codes from the computer, but doesn't appear to be working. The scanner doesn't flash like it is...

    89 GT Won't Start.. HELP

    Actually I did try that. I tried the 1/4 throttle, pumping, full throttle, etc. The old carbureted ways of getting a car started..lol But like I said, I'm getting the right amount of fuel pressure.

    89 GT Won't Start.. HELP

    Ok, I'll pick up a noid light and see what the verdict is. At this point I'm thinking some kind of sensor has gone bad or the fuel is contaminated. Thanks for the suggestions. My stepson is coming home next week and I'd really like to get his car started. I've done a lot of general...

    89 GT Won't Start.. HELP

    As I said, 40PSI at the fuel rail. As for the injectors. I just replaced them and when I check voltage, it is 12 Volts with ignition to on. I believe when the engine is turned over the voltage dropped. I know it didn't stay at 12V.

    89 GT Won't Start.. HELP

    Ok, I went through that list. I have spark and I have already tried starter fluid in the throttle body and got a brief start. I tested voltage at the fuel injector harness and got 11.69 Volts. I tested the IAB by holding the throttle at 1/4 and still no start. Timing should not have...

    89 GT Won't Start.. HELP

    Ok, I'm at a loss. My stepson's 89 GT won't start. It was sitting for a few months while he was in Iraq. I started it and moved it every week or so, but now it won't start. Sometimes it will start for a brief moment but then die. If I spray starter fluid in the throttle body, it will...

    Panic horn keeps going off

    I have a 98 GT with a Clifford Alarm system that was installed 4 years ago. In the last few days the horn starts going off in panic mode at random. I hit the alarm deactivate button and it turns it off. I reactivate the alarm and a 30 seconds later, the panic horn goes off again. Any ideas...

    Classic Mustang Dim Instrument Cluster Mod

    LOL.. Yeah when I was taking my instrument panel apart I thought the same thing. How bright could these have been when new with that crappy design. At least someone got smart one day and made the numbers/letters on the gauge face transluscent to allow light to pass through from behind instead...

    Classic Mustang Dim Instrument Cluster Mod

    Wow, that's cool. Might have to look into that. Not sure if I want to get away from the "stock look", but who knows.

    Classic Mustang Dim Instrument Cluster Mod

    As I said, the circuit board has a burnt circuit so a couple of the lights don't even come on. I even tried replacing all the bulbs. The Tach works and is accurate, but that's a different feed. Speedometer is operated by a cable. What else could be inaccurate??? Turnsignal lights work fine...

    Classic Mustang Dim Instrument Cluster Mod

    Are they even on? lol. That's a good one. Umm yeah they are on.. hence the green glow. :p Like I said, not perfect, but I could hardly even see them before. Now I can see them. I think part of the reason they are dim is the voltage is only at around 9.5 volts at the connector on the...

    Classic Mustang Dim Instrument Cluster Mod

    Dim Instrument Cluster Mod Well, got tired of not being able to read my speedometer at night on the Mach 1. I took out the cluster and replaced all the bulbs, but that didn't help, so I went to Advanced Autoparts and got some neon string and did this: I had tried putting the string...

    C4 or FMX? (pics)

    Thanks for the input guys. I've always had 5-speeds so I'm new to the automatic transmissions. As for the leak, this is what leaked in less than a week. Sometimes it leaks a little and then other times it drops about 1/4 of a quart. It is in the front so most likely just a seal that has...

    C4 or FMX? (pics)

    So lets say I have a C6. I want to put in a 408 eventually that will put out 490HP at the crank. My transmission is leaking right now so I was just going to take it in to have it rebuilt to hold up to that much HP, but will the C6 hold up to that much HP to where I wouldn't need to get it...
