    2000 GT-Front Brakes Not Releasing

    Like said, the front calipers on the 99-04 GT/V6 are notorious for seizing. It's a VERY common issue, especially on cars that are seldom driven, and on brake fluid that likely hasn't been changed for a while. Caliper replacement is needed. Just be mindful that a reman caliper may have the...

    Engine vacuum

    WOT or high load hits where vacuum drops is where you might have issues. You might find depending on your settings that the vacuum blend doors will move under load due to not having the vacuum ball in place, but when you lift they should go back to where they were. How much you notice this...

    Brake pad and rotor upgrade

    I agree. A pedal going hard with hard stopping points to a mechanical issue. Perhaps booster issue? I would not go drilled rotors. You really don't want to reduce mass on these rotors because of the design of combining the hub/rotor into one. Good solid blank rotors and look into...

    Leak from tail shaft after 2 new seals

    That absolutely would make it leak. Is any part of that gouge proud? If it's lifted about the surface than that will not let it seal properly. You might have to try and file it down slightly, and then maybe fill in the gouge with JB weld and sand it flush. Hard to do on the trans...

    Fox Valve Spring Kit PAC-1219X. Help finding needed additional parts.

    Do you have valve float? Really going to depend on your cam specs that you are using. I second talking to Ed. I got my cam and spring kit from him, as he sells complete kits.

    2003 Mustang GT convertible water leak

    Interesting little fact. SN95 Convertibles are designed to dump water into the interior, and then drain that water out. The back of the top area has no drainage, so the top is designed to create a little "moat" that channels the water all the way around and dumps it down into a pocket under...

    Electrical 93 5.0 No Injector Pulse

    Continuous pump good sign the ECu need a rebuild. You can likely open it up and take a peek at the capacitors, or test the pin 46 trace

    Electrical 93 5.0 No Injector Pulse

    TPS issues can also cause this. Essentially if the TPS returns full 5V sensor ref the ECU will not fire the injectors. But, sounds like you might have some ECU issues. I second the "do you hear the pump prime" when you cycle the key question

    Fox price for fuel

    The desire is there. Thing is I don't have a readily available source of E85 to do that tune (or even an E50 tune) so i'm stuck with 93 octane tunes. But i have an IC and tune picked out. I just hesitate due to things like...warranty.

    Fox price for fuel

    I don’t think I’ve ever calculated out or been concerned with fuel economy on my Mustangs. I don’t drive them often enough for it to be a factor really. Wife’s Honda gets 40mpg on 87 octane. My Explorer ST is sitting on 18mpg on premium fuel because I can’t keep my right foot out of it...

    Engine Vacc leak detector

    EGR leaks are typically but it all depends where the leak it. Leaking at the diaphragm is a vac leak that should be fixed. Leaking from the pintle seal is not a vac leak and common. EGR system is positive pressure during use, and minor leaks are typical. Cleaning the pintle may help create a...

    Upgrading to SN95 steering rack

    The thing with bump steer kits is it is highly recommended to actually go ahead and measure your bump steer. The whole "Just eyeball it" thing only gets you so far and it really easy to be way off due to what reference points folks select when they try to parallel the A-arm to the tie rod...

    Service Provided Megasquirt ECU support and Tuning

    Steve's not really active here anymore. Not sure if he still offers remote tuning as a personal service, as he is now a part owners of DIYAutoTune and seems fairly busy. I have seen him tune cars through the company, but not sure if he's still actively tuning folks cars.

    Upgrading to SN95 steering rack

    I remember talking to Jack about that link on MM's site and he said they had some updated info and would be revising it soon. But it appears that never happened. I can tell you when i went from my 04 cobra rack to my 04 GT rack (because the housing cracked) i couldn't tell one difference at...

    What megasquirt kit to order

    I agree that if you just want to hop in a car and get going, Holley is the way to go for sure.

    Mustang5L5’s progress thread - Rear window fun

    Glass out. That was easy. Put it in the sun and the tool cut through it like butter. All of 5-10 mins to do. Unfortunately now that I can work on the glass, I’m getting inconsistent readings on the defrost grid. Not sure it works well enough to my liking. Gonna borrow an infrared camera and...
