well after all the troubleshooting i should have just looked at the most basic thing. the cat being plugged. It was still running fine at idle speed so i disregarded the cat as the problem. It had fused a majority of the "honeycombs" in the first cat solid. I busted the guts out and guess...

well it started happening when it was nearly warmed up now it does it at anytime while running. As far as O2 sensor. records don't show replacement. There is no smell of lean or rich coming out the tailpipe though. just ordered a reader thanks for the insight on that crazy thing called ebay...

Ha. agreeded about the bosch. but yes i have changed the fuel filter, it is getting fuel pressure. as far as codes shouldn't the check engine light come on when it throws a code? I feel like such a noob with these fox 2.3's

THe problem I am having is a loss of power, hesitation, stumbling/misfiring between the idle speed and 3500 rpm's. was at first a hesitation intermittantly but now is nearly all the time if i try to drive it. 87 2.3 n/a manual. steps taken so far include: new wires,plugs,cap,rotor,fuel...

honing the path of flow on the intake makes minimal gains to a N/A car now if your force fed there may be a few more cfms than before due to the volume it is pushing through. Learned that with my old eclipse GSX. With that turbo'ed car i did notice a difference in spooling and sotp feel after...

fo real The brands that allow tranny/ clutch access is: A.) HOOKERS B.) KOOKS Both are made by the same company.

Ok after reading the post i found two posted solutions: 1) aftermarket hood-300/600 bucks 2) lower/cut engine mounts I am in the process of swapping in p&p heads/cams and purchasing the P-51 intake as a nice add on. Would anybody know if i can buy aftermarket engine mounts that would...

if that is what the proper term on how a converging diameter increases the speed of air movement. its not how the intake elbow works but i thought it was funny to compare. as far as the smoothness of the inside surfaces i question the theory of smoother means better. With my old turbo'ed...

Maybe i am way off base here but wouldn't a smooth inner surface hinder flow compared to having a slightly rough "hone" type surface? Maybe the designer of the plenuem was thinking of the Ram air effect..converging area increases velocity... Thanks for the write up.

My question pertains to how the tips are mounted. a band strap loops around the extruded alum. tip and a slender bracket that come with. It stays on fine but does not have that secure hold i'm looking for. The tips do not like staying centered or they may tilt after a couple weeks. what i am...

To my knowledge you need the bracket. the reason for this is because of the larger rotor size of the cobra. if your looking for cheap parts check out your local salvage yard. I did the same as your planning and picked up brackets for under 20 dollars.

gears or a tune...factory tuning is really mild. open er up. that is if you want to put 91 octane in your pony.

I'll sell ya my charcoal leather seats out of my 2000! i would so love to get some seats with actaul side bolsters.

Your best bet would actually be to get the things powder-coated. I got my factory 5's done this winter and love the outcome. I will post a few pictures tonight. Cost me 50 bucks a rim and tthe worst thing about them is that its hard to keep car's paint as shiny as the wheels.

15815 Do not repair spark plug port threads in aluminum cylinder heads- Unapproved usage of helicoil for serice Some engines equipped with aluminum cylinder heads may exhibit spark plug port(s) with stripped or missing threads, "Do not" service stripped or missing spark plug port threads by...

As far as the helicoil goes ford put a tsb out saying the proper fix to a stripped out spark plug thread is a new head. As far as creating more problems i think that depends on if the helicoil is installed right. Now as far as the shavings that may fall down into the chamber those can get...

Ok some back-story to my problem. last week a spark-plug backed out after 15,000 miles on them and in the process of backing out it took all the threads with it...Got it helicoiled. Thought that was the end of engine trouble. NOPE! after driving it i couldnt tell the difference..little bit off...

well i would like to thank DerekStangGT for seeing my perspective. Call it electro-rice if you want, i don't see why not i mean it is off kilter but i am a geek and we geeks do things differently. Also I agree to shoot this thread it was completely useless.

Well to quickly answer your question that has no regard to the posted questions. I have a 8" indash video screen with duel micro video camera's mounted in the rear deck in turn i have set to play through a split screen setup on my modded xbox running linux. Thats why I don't need the side...
