Did I ak you if you had an original Ford alternator at your tent, because I think I asked everyone there! I agree, if you haven't been to Carlisle, you NEED to experience it :) I am now on year 12!

I decided the computer ground couldn't be the problem, as the car only breaks up when the alternator is connected, so that was a dead end :( We have been able to get the voltage up to 12.5 when using a resistor and still have the car run well. I took it out for a ride and everything seems to...

Interesting. I will look into this. Thanks!

Yes, We have tested everything and there is no voltage drop. The car runs at normal voltage, which is the problem. When there is lower voltage (when using the resistor) the car runs fine. I know it is hard to diagnose things over the computer and I appreciate your help very much. I do have a...

The alternator is fine. Also, there have been three alternators on the car since this problem started occurring when I acquired the car 10 years ago; the original alternator and then two new ones. The newest one is only a couple of weeks old, as I was thinking the same thing you are, that the...

So after discovering that the car runs fine without the alternator, here is what we have done since. If I use a resistor after the alternator, which cuts the volts to 12, the car runs fine with no issue. When I don't use the resistor, the car is putting out 14.5 volts and the engine break up...

Great, thank you. I will start testing these things.

So we were poking around testing things today and we found that the problem might have something to do with the alternator. So, we disconnected the alternator and the problem completely went away. I went and got a new alternator, put it on the car, and the problem came back even worse than...

I have not checked the timing chain yet. That was my next thought as to what it might be. I think I might try that. I agree that it seems like it has to be something having to do with the timing. There is no popping or backfiring.

I have checked the mass air meter and cleaned it. It's definitely not the mass air, as I have been having this issue since the car was completely stock. Also, I have replaced the mass air meter :( I replaced the injectors with Ford 19lb injectors. Like I said, it has been doing it since...

So, I ran all of the tests today. For the engine off "On Demand" codes, I got a 67 (Park/Neutral circuit fault) For the engine off "Continuous Memory" codes, I got an 11 (System Checks OK) For the engine on codes, I got a 44 (AIR system inoperative) For the cylinder balance test I...

The most recent thing I did was change the computer and I got the same problem, but maybe there is a wiring issue like you said. I will run the codes again to double check. The two flashes sound familiar. We just had a hurricane here, so it might be a few days before I get to the car :( I...

Any other thoughts....anyone??

Oops, forgot to add that to the list of already replaced. That was actually one of the first things I tried becasue it used to break up the worst when the engine was warmed up...now it just does it all of the time. The video above was taken when the car was completely cold. I first...

-I have run codes and nothing comes up. -I have replaced the plugs, plug wires, coil, and distributor. Other things that I have done are, checked TPS voltage and changed meter. I also checked to see that the voltage does not spike. I also checked fuel pressure. The problem has become...

90 Mustang Problem - YouTube Please watch the video above. I guess I should start out with a little history of the car. This is a 1990 GT and I have had the car since about 2000. I bought the car bone stock with about 85,000 miles on it and it now has about 100K. I have had this break...

Yes!!! But you will be happy when it is done :) The onlly thing I will say is that when I put H&R's on my car (Sport, not Super Sport) The rear sat a bit lower than I liked so I ended up buying some adjustable rear control arms to rais the rear up a bit. They say both the Sport and Super...

I'm not sure what paint he used. It is supposed to be the original Ford paint code, but the guy who painted the car said there were a bunch of different codes for the original color. I think it ended up that the bottom color is a bit darker than the original and the upper color is a bit...

I know, I know...I wasn't going to put them back on after I had the car done, but the metal piece that the weather stripping squashes up into is dented in a couple of spots and I have not seen the piece sold as a replacement anywhere. The vent visor attaches to that metal piece so it covers up...

Yes they are. The overal fit was great. The rubber used seems a bit thinner than the originals, but other than that I think they are a pretty good copy. I am happy I purchased them :nice:
