    Car wouldn't idle, clunk, running fine...

    So here's the basics: After sitting at work for 8 hours in the rain, Car starts and dies immediately, no CEL. After letting it rev to 3,000rpm for 10 seconds and let down slowly it holds an idle of about 350. Turning A/C on or off had no effect. Removing IAC had no effect. Unplugging the...

    How to make the mustang 2000 faster?

    Don't get me wrong... Any car, even an automatic V6 Mustang is worth working on IF its what you want... The problem is its not what you want... You are saying you want a stick shift performance car... It's just not what it is. It's sort of like buying a Barbie and spending 25x the cost of...

    How to make the mustang 2000 faster?

    I don't think anyone said anything about changing the transmission??? Changing the transmission will likely cost close to double the blue book value of that car. A complete powertrain swap (engine & tranny) would be around ~20-30% more than converting an automatic to a manual, its lunacy...

    Idle trouble...

    2000 GT, Slight delayed surge at idle, exists under regular load but extremely pronounced with A/C on... Car starts out idling around 900rpm and slowly the rpm's decrease until around 600rpm when they plummet to around 300-400rpm where the engine feels like it will stall and then it revs itself...

    Shop in CT that can shut off rear 02 sensors?

    OK wait... you were having problems with a CATTED x????? I missed this tidbit, catted, highflow should not be throwing codes by right... unless BBK isn't meeting emissions standards with the cats they ship with the product... BBK is right, there should be no codes being thrown... bad cat or...

    2012 Shelby! What she gonna trap?? :)

    I'm more confused about how 0-60 times don't matter? lol. If its sent to shelby and then turned into a 'super snake,' I assume they will be beefing the car up significantly to be able to put the power down. All that said though, I'd still take a S351R or Cobra R over it any day. It will be a...

    someone clipped my GT yesterday at work...

    People are pricks. First day out last spring I headed to physio (knee injury)... it was 7 am and I parked in front of the movie theater on the far side of the parking lot (theater doesn't even open until 12)... I come out an hour later. Even though the parking lot was empty and the grocery...

    O/R exhaust throwing code with Xcal

    Emailed them, the race tune automatically disables the rear o2s as its' a 'track only' tune. They told me to reinstall the tune, possible it didn't take the first time or the SES code had been sitting there and not throwing a light. I'm going to go double check the code it threw, see if its...

    Shop in CT that can shut off rear 02 sensors?

    Holy scare tactics guys lol... I just bought my tuner with the same assumption as you OP, no option to turn off the sensors though so I did some research. Up until last year all the handhelds turned them off, Federal legislation cracked down and made it illegal to disable emissions control...

    O/R exhaust throwing code with Xcal

    Ordered through AmericanMuscle, Bama tuned. I emailed them, hopefully they just forgot as I said O/R exhaust in their little spreadsheet. 2 codes actually came up though. the typical Catalyctic converter one, and another saying OBD loop failed? or something of that sort? Any ideas? I...

    O/R exhaust throwing code with Xcal

    With the Xcal3 I'm still getting the o/r exhaust SES light... I thought the tune was supposed to prevent this code from popping up? Or does everyone just keep clearing the code when it gets thrown?

    Mini Review of Xcal3 and bama

    Worth every cent. That mini enough for you? Seriously though, I wish this would have been my first mod (after exhaust). Tune is outstanding, bama really does know what they are doing. I supposed I can't really describe to you how much better it is, but this should be a good indication...

    What's the best year from 1994–2004 Mustang GT Convertible?

    Ford actually rated both those years at 215hp, the numbers I've listed are what I've been told are closer to accurate numbers. As for why 96-98 is supposedly the dog years I couldn't tell you... detailed specs the 96 shouldn't be much slower than the 95, very close in fact. 95: 215hp, 288...

    Spoiler - Help me decide

    Don't know what picture you are looking at (unless its the stock one at 4x4 height with mudflaps and v6 strips) but its already dropped, wheels are on their way. Thank you for your incredibly instrumental and on-topic post. Anyways, I think I'm going to move the spoiler back, can anyone...

    What's the best year from 1994–2004 Mustang GT Convertible?

    Plastic intake here in weather ranging from +30 to -42 and no problems in 10 years. That said, imho, 94,95 and 99-04 is the only choice. 94 and 95 you get the 205-220hp 5.0 (a lot of debate on actual hp numbers). The 5.0 is easily modded into making crazy power. Personally not a fan of...

    Spoiler - Help me decide

    Alright I need some help deciding on appearance for this summer. Currently no spoiler, however, where the spoiler used to be are deep scratches, deep enough that there are white 'U's where the rear of the spoiler was. You can only see them up close. Here is the current look: Stick with...

    I'm too old for any of that ****. Though I did drive like a pissed off teenager when I moved out haha. Only left some clothes, my razor and some rubber behind :D. the detail is better in person, my ****ty camera didn't do justice. --- Just used push pins /w silicone to plug the...
