    Surging solved!!!!!

    I started driving my car again a few months ago and when I'm cruising I get a bit of a surge, the lower the rpm the worse it got. Throttle response suffered too.

    Backfiring/Hesitation/Powerloss

    I had a similar problem that turned out to be bad gas. Run the tank dry, replace the fuel filter and fill it up with premium from a different station. I finally did this and it was like driving a brand new car.

    Need Fuel Pump Circuit Help!!!! At Wits End

    As long as you get power coming out of the relay and into the pump for that 5 sec prime period and the relay always has constant power going into it, seems like everything is working fine. Your pump is bad, I bet 20 bux. The eec relay supplies the trigger signal to your fp relay to tell it to...

    Need Fuel Pump Circuit Help!!!! At Wits End

    Yeah, basically if your fp relay is working and the pump doesnt come on the pump is junk. I thought about the quality factor of the autozone relay and that's why I tried 2 of them from there. The reason your buddy's fuel pump relay worked is because they stock an actual replacement relay for...

    Need Fuel Pump Circuit Help!!!! At Wits End

    Daggar, I'm not sure what you mean. The User, what is the resistance supposd to be? A while ago I ran a ground from the eec directly to the battery just for good measure. The ground coming off the eec relay harness is black/green and I think it goes to the battery although I'm not sure.

    How is it possible to run lean on #7 and #8

    LOL! Seriously man, you do realize that it's called "compression" because it compresses things...such as air and fuel. Compression is crap being squeezed together really tight, the complete opposite of "sucking in".

    what is the proper wheel lugnut torque on a 91 lx 5.0

    I used to work for goodyear, and as much as I dislike most of their tires, we did everything at my shop specifically by the book and proper. We hand torqued every lugnut on every car, no impact guns. The proper torque for 90% of the fords out there, including your mustang, is 100 ft lbs...
