    A Few Fault Codes

    well...my theory was that the low coolant was causing a false reading on the temp sensor which was ultimately not telling the fan to turn on, when I topped off the coolant, fan code was gone so...guess that's that. somehow though coolant keeps disappearing but im not sure where! I plan on...

    A Few Fault Codes

    so, I'm back with more problems on my 95 gt...car is driving me insane...so I was getting a little coolant into cylinder 5(3 if you look at the engine like ford does). the head held 125psi on the leak down and compression test it was right at 140. so I thought it was the lower intake gasket that...

    Why Wont She Start?!?!

    in the original post I mention that I have the bama 4 bank eliminator. the guys at bama just don't want to listen as to what the car needs so I keep having to send it back and forth to try and get this tuned right. I got it started and running well, I just think I may have a problem with the...

    Why Wont She Start?!?!

    Ok. Cylinder pressure test for the entire passenger side and the first 2 on the driver's side all read 140 with one of them at 135. The plugs made it very clear that it's running rich though. And I used contact cleaner on the MAF but got a case of the butterfingers and dropped the sensor right...

    Why Wont She Start?!?!

    This seems more like vapor and I checked my coolant and it doesn't look to have any oil in it. I'll do a cylinder pressure test soon. Around 90PSI is typical, right? I'll re clean my MAF and see if that helps. I have new O2 sensors on which helped but only for about 30 minutes before he code...

    Why Wont She Start?!?!

    Ok. So as usual with this car it was something stupid. The positive lead for the ignition coil had just barely come out so it wasn't making contact with the coil but you couldn't tell it was out. So she fired right up and is running now but even with the tune it seems like she's running rich and...

    Why Wont She Start?!?!

    so you're saying to clear any possible engine fault codes? I do that by running a jumper from the CEL test pin or the "check engine tan wire" to the negative on the battery because my self test pin doesn't work. then I turn the key to on and right as the CEL begins to flash, I remove the jumper...

    Why Wont She Start?!?!

    also, with the tuner in on the day that I installed the exhaust, the gauges jumped around as It ran for maybe 7-10 seconds before stalling, it did this about 3/4 times before I took the tuner out and then it ran long enough to get halfway home....then I had to have a friend help me baby it back...

    Need Exhaust Help!

    just an update if anyone cares: I went with the BBK non ceramic longtubes and the "Matching" x pipe...which doesn't fit worth s**t. a lot of prying and bolt manipulation and it's finally bolted in there and sounds AMAZING just waiting on the reflash to come back on my 4 bank eliminator and...

    Need Exhaust Help!

    ok so, I have a 95 gt and i'm looking into a new exhaust setup. i'm going with the BBK longtube headers but I cant find a shorty h pipe from bbk for my car! I've been told that I could get the bbk shorty h pipe for a 79-93 and I would just have to move the hangers to make it work. is this true...

    95 Gt Problems After Rebuild

    this is a 95, not a speed density car, you know this, right? but anyways, I picked up a noid light set and the harness in question lights up about twice as bright as the other injector that I checked and the "pulse"(if that's what you want to call it) is more of a dimming than an on/off action...

    95 Gt Problems After Rebuild

    I already know that the O2 sensor is reading lean because I have 3 exhaust leaks around the header-collector area but BBK longtubes with a shorty X-pipe are in the shopping cart and just waiting on funds. so that explains that code ,sorry I thought I mentioned that but I supposed not.... back to...
