    03 3.8 Under Power Issue

Last summer the car overheated on her (she shut it off at about 3/4 on the guage) and it had a cylinder head over temp code. It was low on coolant, but I couldnt tell where it was leaking, so we just filled...

    Cincy Area - Where to dyno?

    Tranny ponderings

    Well, there is, kinda. There are calibration versions for the PCM, which our WDS (20,000$ scan tool ouch) can look up, and then Oasis will have the version listed from the factory. So if the calibration number is off, a smart tech will see it. Fortunately for me, there's a lot of old...

    Wow...

    well, as long as it doesnt appear to be tampered with, it will probably go through. it depends on the person doing the work mostly and what the warranty job is (ie driveability concern vs interior trim concern) hope that gave you some insight :)

    convertible leaks....need major help!!!!

    easiest way to find the leak is get in it, put the top up, close the windows, have a buddy hose her down (low pressure, high flow). that should get the source of the leak found =)

    new too board, pic of the fleet

    lol thanks guys. right now the vic is in the garage with most of the emissions crap laid out on a table trying to figure out where everything goes. Most of it was unplugged, got a few vacuum lines broken. There's oil everywhere on everything. but since it's a 302 it shouldnt be that hard to get...

    new too board, pic of the fleet

    So yesterday 10/9, my mom bought a new car after getting the settlement from her wreck in her Elantra. She finally has the car she always wanted, a Mustang Convertable. And today, my father and I were very bored, so we did this: Left to right, front to back: 2003 Ford Mustang V6 (mom's dd)...
