    Stupid Stupid Stupid

    I checked the 3 fuses on the amp and the fuse on the back of the head unit. All 4 were blown. Replaced all of them and everything works. I'm really thankful that's the only hit my car took. Thanks to all who responded.

    Stupid Stupid Stupid

    None of the fuses are blown. Still no radio or amp. Can't turn on the radio, no led light on the amp.

    Stupid Stupid Stupid

    I made a stupid mistake. I can't believe that I did this. The other day I was installing my MSD ignition. The battery was dead so I took it out to charge it. When I reinstalled it I noticed there was smoke coming out of the alternator. I unhooked it and tried it again. At the same time I...

    Baseball card in bike spokes sound

    It makes the sound only while accelerating. I'll check to see if the headers & x-pipe are tight. If it is the rod bearing its pretty much toast then, right?

    Baseball card in bike spokes sound

    Finally took the car out for the first time last week. Sounds fine at idle however, when I give it gas it has a baseball card in spokes sound. It only occurs when on the gas. It sounds like its coming from under the hood. The first area I checked was around the fan and that was clear. Any...

    Underdrive Pulleys

    I have the correct belt. I'll attempt to find a stock alt pulley then. I sold mine on Ebay after I installed the underdrive pulleys. Thanks.

    Underdrive Pulleys

    I have a set of Ford Racing Underdrive pulleys in my 89GT, 120 Powermaster alt & an Optima battery. I also just replaced the starter (for the second time in a year). My other mods are in my sig. The car sounds weak when I start it and while its running and the belt moves slow. I heard the...

    1/2 Dead Stang

    Tapping the starter didn't help. The starter is less than a year old.

    1/2 Dead Stang

    yes we tried a new battery and the same thing keeps happening. it almost seems that the starter isn't engaging properly, since the solenoid clicks each time i hit the key. I don't think that the solenoid is the problem, its got to be a problem between the solenoid and the starter. it still...

    1/2 Dead Stang

    I appreciate you're help but that didn't work. The solenoid just clicks. What else should I try? Also, when I turn the key back I get a chirping sound. Any ideas on what that might be?

    1/2 Dead Stang

    89 GT, mods in sig. I believe there is a wiring problem between the ignition and the starter. However, since it is a manual it will start by push starting it. When I turn the key the solenoid will click, but the starter won't engage. At first I thought it was a battery and/or altenator...

    We need a joke thread

    Try this one. You have a checking and savings account at a bank that will remain nameless (Wells Fargo). They accidentally close your checking account with checks pending and refuse to pay the late fees. :fuss: :fuss: This happened twice before I closed my accounts. Then they asked why I...

    Not just another idle prob.

    This is the first place I've heard it called dizzy. Its easier to type than distributor. Thanks for the info. I called Summit (that's where I bought it from) and they are going to let me exchange it. #100 :banana: :banana: :banana:

    Not just another idle prob.

    I did that and the rough idle went away. When I called MSD they told me to install the dizzy and wires and the problem should go away. My problem now is that I can't disconnect the harness to check it because the dizzy is connected to the box.

    Not just another idle prob.

    I have read through it. A few years ago I had a problem with it revving up but I fixed that. I haven't had another prob until I installed the box.
