Okay, a few days ago my car developed this problem: I walk to my car and unlock it fine with my remote. I get in and the Theft light blinks like it always does... I can turn the key halfway and the rest of the dash lights come on.. but then if I turn the key to start the car I get a single...

A while back my car developed a small hesitation in the low-mid range cruising RPMs.. it would buck a little while cruising at 2000 and so I'd downshift and it was fine. Well, the problem seems to have developed further and now I have the following: rough and lopey idle.. sounds and feels...

I went to the dyno today and got three runs in.. the best of my three runs yielded 265.4 RWHP and 299.7 RWTQ. Anyone else think these numbers are a little low of the mods in my sig? A/F was a flat line starting at 14 at 3k and went to 13 at 6k.

I'm looking into gears for my stang '96 that was (supposedly) stock when I got it. I had heard that 96's came with gears as low as 2.73 so I wanted to see what I had. Cruising at 2k in 5th gear with my T45 and 295/35/18 rear tires I was at a pretty solid 65 mph. Down to 1.5k I was at slightly...

I recently did a whole slew of mods (PI headswap, VT stage I cams, BBK LT headers, BBK X, magnaflow catback) and got a mailorder tune via SCT microtuner from Tim at Modular Ford Powerhouse. Now, when I'm driving and I punch it in second gear at low RPMs (2k or so), I sometimes hear a low garbled...

Now that I've finished my first major project (see sig :banana:) I'm looking towards my next. I was thinking I'd redo the whole suspension. Thing is, I don't know the first thing about anything when it comes to suspension. Could someone gimme a quick list of parts I'd want to look at and maybe a...

Anyone know the cfm air flow numbers for the stock intake manifold? Or perhaps the PI heads? Oh yeah, anyone know what size our exhaust and intake valves are? PI heads, that is.

Yesterday I started noticing a certain difficulty with shifting. It's hard to describe, though "crunchy" seems about right. There's no heavy grinding, it just seems like there's a bump or two when I'm putting it in gear. This happens with every shift, also. This is all after my clutch...

I'm doing a PI headswap soon with heads off of a 2000 GT. At the same time I'm swapping out the PI cams for some VT stage 1 cams. I got the cams in a few days ago and what I got were just the camshafts. Can I just take the cam sprockets off the PI cams and use them on the VT cams or will I have...

My stock Mach 460 headunit on my 96 GT has about crapped out on me. It won't play CDs and I can't turn the volume down. So I go to Best Buy today looking for a replacement and they say that to replace the headunit I'd have to replace all the wiring, amp, subs and speakers... everything...

Driving around today I noticed my clutch making a noise when I pressed it to the floor. It's a kind of hollow metallic thump noise, like if you flicked an empty soup can or something. I can also "feel" the noise through the clutch when it happens, too. This only happens when I press the clutch...

I recently got a set of PI heads off a wrecked car that was advertised as having "low end damage" and no damage done to the heads. I've been busy lately and took an opportunity to clean em off today so they could look good for the install and I found a problem. On one of the heads, in one...

Hey folks- I just got my pair of PI heads and PI intake. They were direct takeoffs from a wrecked car and they've got some dirt/oil on em (to be expected)... I'm just wondering if there's any way to safely clean them off before I put em on. Might as well since I'll be waiting for the...

Well, I'm waiting for the parts for my headswap to come in soon and I'm considering putting in cams at the same time, only I don't really know anything about cams and their effect on the car. Soo... What are some pros/cons? Will they hurt everyday drivability? How much power can I...

So.. I was getting a check engine light and I got the codes scanned, resulting in two codes of: P1131 Lack of Upstream Heated Oxygen Sensor Switch - Sensor Indicates Lean - Bank No. 1. I replaced the upstream oxygen sensors on both banks yesterday and I got a new check engine light, four...

I just got quoted ~$1200 in labor for performing the PI headswap on my 96 GT. This seems a bit high to me so I'm considering my other option: doing it myself. :shrug: Sooo... How much know-how is required for doing the swap? I can work a wrench and follow directions without fail, what else...

So.. My car's throwing a code for the passenger side O2 sensor so I went out and got some replacement sensors and built myself some ramps, I crawl under the car today and I find the sensors. Only I can't reach the sensors with a wrench to undo them :bang:. The one on my left (driver side)...

I live in Northern VA and I'm toying with the idea of either getting a PI headswap or dropping in a whole PI motor in it. Basically, I need to know where in my area I can find a shop that'll do it (and do it well). Also, I need to know how much I'm looking at for this install (either one)...

Okay.. so... A few weeks ago my car started running rough and would constantly smell like gas (waiting at stop lights, parking). Also, when idling, the engine would rev from 500 - 1000 rpms for about three revs then settle at 750 or so. The check engine light came on and I had it scanned...

I noticed recently that my driver side power seat adjustments have stopped working. I push the little joystick to slide the seat forward and the little motor whirrs and whirrs but I don't move. Same with trying to move backwards. I go up and down with no problem, though. What could this be...
