    sluggish idle / check engine light - had codes pulled

    Studdering under load/acceleration (not fuel filter)

    I recently noticed my car studdering under acceleration especially when putting it in higher gears (4th, 5th) and pressing the pedal down a good bit at lower rpms. After reading around about this I came to the conclusion it was most likely just a clogged fuel filter so I changed that this...

    motorcraft oil filter...FL-1A ok?

    I've read from some sources that say motorcraft fl-1a is what we should use on our mustangs instead of the 820-s. I took them out of the boxes at walmart and they looked to be identical thickness but the 1a is just much longer (more filtering ability?). I just want to make sure that its ok to...

    Shocks revisited...what shocks for 1.25'' drop?

    I still haven't come to a conclusion on which springs to get and which shocks to get. I really want a 1.25'' drop (nothing drastic but to cut down on the gap between the tires and the fender wells). I would like to cut the price down by getting the mach 1 shocks which are tokico's non...
