    Engine racing up in neutral on a manual v6

    I have a 2002 3.8l v6 mustang and whenever the vehicle gets relatively warm (not sure if that is a coincidence) and I am coming to a stop light I put the vehicle in neutral and coast to the light. As I am coasting the engine races up to anywhere from 2,000 to 3,500 RPM'S. Does anyone know what...

    Listen before you go to the dealer for a key check out a local key shop. The one in my neighborhood had a programer that he hooked up to my car. He was able to cust the key and program the chip in the key in about 10 minutes. Not all key shops have the computer programmer but check around you...

    6 to 8 conversion

    To do the conversion from the v6 to the 5.0L there are going to be some major alterations needed. Like the previous note the best way to go is to purchase a donor car. Now if your not completely set on dropping the 5.0L in their you might want to consider a 4.6. The 4.6 bolts up the same as the...

    engine missing i believe

    Try leaving the battery unhooked for 15-30 mins to reset the system. If that doesnt work then the O2 sensor could still be bad. Alot of the times the O2 sensors are warranted for 1 year, you might wanna check that out. PS: When you replaced the O2 sensor initially did you unhook the battery...

    engine missing i believe

    Like I said some of the auto parts stores will do the diagnostics test for free. check around first to avoid from having to pay $50.00 for a simple scan. I went by advanced auto parts and they did the scan of the O2 sensor and it took about 3 minutes.

    head unit install

    First I would check with circuit city or best buy they will be able to get you the correct harness. If you dont have the correct one for your car you might not be able to utilize the factory amplifier in the car. Typically there are two harnesses, one specifically for the amplifier. check with...

    ACTUAL HP gain question? Heads, cam and intake, is it really worth it?

    If your looking to spend less money i would mod the 3.8 there are companies out there that make a vortech supercharger that you can purchase for the 3.8 and you might spend a little over 2k. This would be considerably less than trying to drop a 4.6 in there. I just recently converted my 98 v6 to...

    Tires and Rims for 02 Stang.

    You can put an 8 or a 9 inch wide rim on the mustang but you might run into some problems with the wider tire. I know that from v6 to the roush or saleen they will all accomodate a 9inch. You might run into some restrictions in the wheel well if you go any larger than that.

    Anybody done this?

    v6 exhaust options Honestly if I were you I would go with shorty headers and add an x pipe and dual flowmasters. I dont know if the previous two people have actually heard the flowmasters on the v6 but it has a great sound when you use them with an x pipe.
