Im getting a 181, and 189 error code. It says both banks still lean under part throttle. When the cars not warm it will crackle out of the exhaust when i shift. Sounds kinda cool but anyway.... It started happening after I put the new MAF in. Could that be the culprit, or does it mean something...

Well, i bought a new battery and it seems to be fine now. Cranks waaaay faster. I honestly did not think it was the battery. Cause sometimes it would crank almost regular and then other times really really slow(barely cranking). Since i put the new one in it cranks better then it ever has. I...

So I bought a new battery for it, seems to have helped. IT doesn't dip nearly as far down the battery guage when i crank it now. Don't think that was the whole problem though.

Well the female connector appears to be in place firmly. When i attempt to start it the volts drop all the way to the bottom on the stock guage. It will now just crank once and then die off. Arg

I had the starter checked about 9 months ago when it was doing this before. They said it was fine. So Im kinda ruling that out. Maybe the ground came loose again!!??? I just pushed it back on again last night though. arg..

So my car is cranking really slow sometimes, and sometimes so slow it won't even turn over. Then other times it will start right up pretty much. I don't think its the battery, cause why would it be fine sometimes. They lights don't dim much when I try and start it. I thought the ground wire was...

Thanks for the responses guys. I was wrong though. It didnt break from my violent foot action. I decided to try and jump the starter, and found that the black wire with the female connector had come disconnected somehow. I was surprised it was that. It fired right up once i plugged it back in.

So its raining here. I go to start my car and i push the clutch in and my foot slips off and the clutch comes back up really hard and fast. So i push it back down and turn the key. It acts like it does when you try to start it when the clutch isnt in. I tried it both ways. Clutch in and not it...

which one? The ones that go into the alt? If so, i pushed them all in to make sure they were connected, so yes..

So when im driving and I hit a bump sometime the volts will drop wayyy down and the engine will even cut out briefly. Then if I hit a few more bumps it will jump back up to almost normal levels and run fine. Now if i shut it off when then volts are down it will crank really slow and not start...

ITs weird cause my radio won't even cut out when the whole car does for a breef second. I wonder if that means anything? A couple of days ago i cleaned off the chassis to block ground and didnt seem to do anything. I was just under the car a half hour ago and checked the starter connections...

I don't think it could be the battery or altenator. Something is loose or shorting out. Cause some times it will be fine if hit a bump or something. Unless things can come loose in a battery???

I visually inspected some the wires today just really quick, didn't appear to be loose at all. But Ill dive in deeper when i have more time. Oh ya, it also cranks slower sometimes too. Like there isnt enough power to the altenator. I used some jumper cables and connected one side to the...

Like in the subject. The volts are way down on the guage and the temp and oil pressure guage go really high. So im assuming there is an eletrical problem. Sometimes the motor will even cut out, like theres no spark. When i go over bumps sometimes the volts will go back to normal for a second...

Pinging at anything more then half throttle. Windshield has a big crack. I think my balljoint is going out. Exhaust is rattling against frame at idle. Brakes are squeaking insanely loud(hawk hp+'s do that) I doesnt even seem like my rear brakes are woking. Maybe the front cobras are just...

Oh ok. I knew you were supposed to take that off. I thought you were talking about some wire in the middle of the distributor. Im debating weither to put a distributor in or just take it to bradcustomauto. The only do vettes and stangs. Cause i know ill be pist if this distributor doesnt fix...

Im tired of dealing with the problem. Im taking it to bradscustomautos. They deal only with stangs and vettes.

What do you mean, when you say, "take the coil wire out of the distirbutor" Whats the coil wire. Sorry may be a dumb question. But im having trouble pictureing what this is.

So i have narrowed an ignition problem to the pickup in the distributor most likely. So im thinking i might as well get a new distributor. How do i change them out. I know you mark the old one so you know where you took it out from. But how do you know where to but the new one back in?? I dont...
