I got an 86 Mustang V6 CFI It has a few problems starting up, but when It does start up, I let it warm up and it idles around 2100 RPM, I know thats too high right? If it starts to drop and you don't hit the gas it kills. Sometimes when it drops it automatically(I guess) revs up a little to...

If you think your 2.3 is slow, why not turbo swap it, or get a 302? Anyway, any one know why Ford stopped making the 2.3 in 94? I personally think they made a few prototypes with the 2.3 in the SN95 Body, but it was too slugish, so they decided to bring back the 3.8, but I know thats not the...

Mainly because of Cost and Gas Mileage. Those numbers are good. Think about it, not everyone wanted a 5.0, some people might say its too fast, but they like the mustang body, so they buy a 2.3. Wouldn't you like to own a Ford GT or Shelby, but not pay $150,000 for it? I wish they made a...

What type of V6 would he like to put in it. I know a 3.8L, but from what year? If its the newer ones from 1994 and up, they'd be easy to find, but hard to install. The V6's from the 80's would be hard to find. It would cost money to for all the custom work, but would cost less in the long run...

From what I know: 1979 Had a 2.8 V6 and a 3.3 Inline 6 1980 Had a 3.3 Inline 6 1981 Had a 3.3 Inline 6 1982 Had a 3.3 Inline 6 1983 Had a 3.8 V6 1984 Had a 3.8 V6 1985 Had a 3.8 V6 1986 Had a 3.8 V6

The Engine is CFI, not EFI. It really looks like a carb though.

I know that gas is suppose to get to the plugs, but I read if too much gets on them, it could effect you car from starting. When I describe my cars problem to people, they all seem to say the plugs may be getting too wet. The plugs should be sparking, there new, and the wires are new also. If...

I have a 1986 Mustang LX V6 CFI Auto I think I might have a problem with my spark plugs getting wet and effecting my start. I'll have to check probably Sunday, but what does that mean. Does it mean I need to replace my CFI, or is there a leal somewhere else? The plugs and wires are brand...

I have a 1986 Mustang, its a 3.8 V6, but I feel I'll get more help in this forum because mine falls under the same years as the 2.3's. It has a Central Fuel Injection in it, kind of a Car, FI mix. Anyway, the car was setting up for a while, maybe 3 months, when I got it, I tried to start...

You say the guides are not for you, but others who don't know how to do it, but then you say [b]just anything that i can do to tune my car[b], which means you are refering to yourself. If you have a question, ask it, theres no shame in not knowing something, thats why this forum is here.

Thanks guys, I'll check the DMV since I live less than 5 minutes away from it, I'll also try CarFax. I'll probably end up taking out the V6 and putting in a V8 in a few years anyway. Thanks

I have a 1986 Mustang, it reads 74xxx miles, but since it only has 5 slots for the mileage, how can I tell thats not 174xxx? The guy I got it from says it just 74xxx, but how can I be sure? So after it gets 99,999 miles, does it just roll over to 00001, which would be 100,001 miles? Thanks

Like Emysterio said, the best thing would be to find a Already Turboed Ford, cause a turbo kit and installing it would be very high priced. You could get a turbo thunderbird or turbo mustang from a junk yard. They say look for one thats wrecked bad, so you know thats why its there and not the...

Probably your Alternater, are you using a audio system that you put in, it could be too powerful and drawing too much power. Especally if you have a Sub or Amp.

Although I haven't built an engine before, buying a prebuild would take all the fun out of it.

Are you getting Shorttys or Long Tube?

He may not use it much, but If you paid for it, you still want to to work. My Stepdad had a Camry, bout it in 88 brand new, used the cruise control once in 97 and the thing never worked again.

You really can't call him a newbie, he could work a Ford Motor factory and just have found this forum a week ago. Anyway, I would say its a waste of money, even if it doesn't make loud noises, it makes the car look a lot better.

If you upgrading a V8 Engine would be nice. If you modding, a Cold Air Kit, and Dual Exaust like said above would be good, and not too pricy.

The dimming lights could be your battery. When did you last change your oil? What year is you car, by your info, you probably have an 1986 or below.
