    Help! Attempting To Troubleshoot Mach 460 Front Left Tweeter Not Working.

    I'm trying to troubleshoot a wiring issue with the Mach 460 in my '04 Cobra. I get no sound out of the driver's side tweeter. (Swapping speakers and even the head unit doesn't help, so the problem is somewhere between the radio's harness plug and the end of the speaker wire.) To the best I...

    What factory Ford stereos will work easily in an 04 Cobra?

    Does the Mach MP3 head unit not count as a "premium" head unit? Because it definitely is not a direct plug-in. Is there some sort of adapter I need?

    FS: Mach MP3 stereo head unit from '04 Mustang

    I FUBARed one of the channels on the 6-disc Mach 460 head unit in my '04 Cobra so I bought this Mach MP3 head unit from an '04 Mustang, assuming that it would be a plug and play installation. Of course, that isn't the case, so I'm selling the head unit. I don't have any way to test it since it...

    What factory Ford stereos will work easily in an 04 Cobra?

    Is there any sort of adapter that would allow me to connect the MP3 headunit to the Mach 460 guts of my stereo system? I've seen such an adapter mentioned in a few old threads but no links or part numbers listed. :(

    What factory Ford stereos will work easily in an 04 Cobra?

    I am pretty sure that I blew a channel in my Mach 460 6 disc so I bought a Mach MP3 head unit from an '04 Mustang. Of course the connectors on the back of it are different from my Mach 460. Are there any MP3 capable Ford head units that will be a plug and play replacement for my Mach 460? I've...

    Quick answer: Safe to make a couple dyno runs?

    Should I let the car cool down between runs? If so, let it idle or shut it down? And how long? Thanks guys!

    Quick answer: Safe to make a couple dyno runs?

    With what I've been reading about Terminators overheating the number 7 and 8 cylinders during high speed, high RPM pulls, I am wondering if I have anything to worry about making a couple of dyno runs. Thing is, the guy who sold me my '04 claims it put down 463rwhp and was tuned to around a...

    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    I got a call from the dealership today. They said they replaced the fuel pump and now there is fuel pressure, but it's not enough pressure. Apparently there is some sort of pump booster which is also not working. They said if they tap on it, it will bring up pressure to the right level but...

    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    Still waiting to hear back from Ed at RWTD with any more potential information about how the tune was applied. The previous owner said that Ed "sent him an updated tune". Is it likely that Ed just emailed him an updated tune which he inputted with a programmer, or would Ed just have sent him...

    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    Yeah I figure at the very least I'll go ahead any pay the $55 for the tow as a "thank you" even though they should have known to call roadside assistance for a warranty tow. I haven't gotten a reply from Ed yet--I sent him another email earlier today with an update on the warranty issue...

    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    Regarding the OASIS report, there's a guy on another forum who used to work at the Infocenter and he ran the report for me. As of yesterday, there was nothing on it except for an outstanding recall (the gas pedal getting stuck to the carpet) which needs to be done. I'll ask him to run it again...

    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    Well, I have good news. Great news, really. They are going to replace the fuel pump under warranty. I went by the dealership around 12:45 but the Ford rep wasn't there. I went to get some lunch and came back about 1:30 or so. The rep was there but was unavailable so I waited around...

    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    I just called a friend of a friend who works at the local Attorney General's office and he agrees with me--he said go talk to the Ford rep and if that didn't work out, to come file a complaint at his office and they would look into it. So I will mention that to the Ford rep, but only as a last...

    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    I haven't heard back from Ed yet (last time I emailed him, he got back to me that same evening and it's only been a couple hours since i emailed him today) so I decided to call over to RWTD to see if I could talk to him. The guy who answered the phone said that Ed works out of his house, so I...

    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    I sent Ed an email, but I'm going to call over there and see if I can talk to him directly, since I'm going to head by the dealership in about an hour. Thanks for the replies.

    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    The service manager just called me. He said Ford says that the entire warranty is voided because of the pulley, the tune and the cold air intake. I disagreed, stating that Ford has to show that the modifications were responsible for the fuel pump failing. He said that Ford does NOT--they can...

    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    I'm a bit unclear--at first it sounds like you're saying that the ECU can overdrive the fuel pumps, but then you mention the BAP. So is there any way for the custom tune to crank up the output of the fuel pump(s) or would a BAP be required to accomplish that? I ask because I'm just about...

    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the fuel pump is an on/off proposition--IE there's no way that a chip or tune can make the fuel pump work harder. The amount of fuel injected into the engine is based on the injector pulse width and the fuel pressure regulated by the fuel...

    HELP! My "new" Cobra is at the dealership; got warranty and fuel map questions.

    Thanks for the condolences. I'm just glad the car didn't decide to act up when I was driving it home--I flew 660 miles to buy it and drove back. So, if the ECU has a chip, can I just pull the chip and have the ECU be restored to stock? Unless I'm missing something here, it seems pretty...
