    Airbag light blinking - Code 5

    I had a similar problem with the air bag in my 90 GT. (can't remember exactly how many flashes) It's been about 10-12 years ago but if I recall I think they replaced something in the steering wheel.

    Gas Prices

    To 302RollinHard, Why should someone have to increase there level of education to be able to afford fuel. Maybe they can't afford it. Lets say if you make 70,000 dollars a year you pay 1.50 a gallon anything above that you pay 3.50 a gallon and up, that's fair right...I could care less about...

    Fuel pump

    You'll hear the pump when you turn the key on but should fade off. If the pump is still humming loudly when you are standing outside the of the car then you should be concerned. This is exactly what mine did (humming all the time) before it let me sitting after about 6 months of putting it off...

    MSD has no spark at distributor

    OK You have spark, First, I would convert to mass air when you change cams with a larger lift to help with idle. I don't think you mentioned anything about what size injectors your using. The poping sound is too much fuel. Nothing in your post strikes me to increase the injector size, if you...

    Legend Lime Up Close.

    I just cringe when I see this happening. Don't they realize, not all dealers are marking them up. Okay so the car is selling well and demand is high. Alright lets say a dealer who marks his Mustangs up $1,000 and he sells 5 Mustangs in three weeks. So you go 25 miles down the road and this...

    IRS in the new Stang, be careful of what you wish for

    It doesn't matter what vehicle you have your going to feel a bump or pot holes. As for curves in the road, they are all posted with a speed limit such as 25 mph or 35 mph, I don't know of any that are posted for 85 mph where IRS would be beneficial. So , if you want to test IRS on curves, on our...

    Things to like about the 05

    I like the power and the style. It's better than the prototype. Don't really care for the instrument cluster, but i'm sure there will be an aftermarket one. :D

    IRS in the new Stang, be careful of what you wish for

    First, I've never had any wheel hop in my 90 or 92 mustang when spinning the tires. The only time I've seen wheel hop is when this guy had stock suspension with no quad shocks (with wider tire) trying to pull a burnout... However, Ford spent a lot of time talking with mustang enthusiasts at...

    LS1 in a Mustang, for real

    Does it sound like a trash truck. I guess they were tired of breaking driveline parts.

    Oil Pan for 331 Stroker

    I'm in the process of building my 331 stroker motor for my 90GT and I bought a Canton pan. The pan that I have is 7.5 inches deep sump. I bought an ARP stud kit for the R302 block and had to buy 1 stud for the main support set up so I could bolt my pick-up to it. So when I put my pan on, the...
