    I have a strange stall/no start issue, need advice.

    I have been having this really odd problem that I can't figure out. I'm hoping someone might have had a similar experience. It started a few weeks ago, car was running fine. Went into a store, came out and the car wouldn't start. After a few minutes of trying to start it and tinkering with...

    Ever have your CAI fall off? How did the car act?

    Just curious to see if anybody has ever had the filter on their "inside the fender" "CAI" fall off.....if so, how did your car react? When I first bought my car, it had some cheap CAI on it, I replaced it with a "Densecharger" pipe (Home Depot PVC pipe) intake because he was throwing it away...

    Warning, dumb question: FRP cams, steel or iron?

    What are the Ford Racing cams, iron or steel? During initial build, my first motor build, I made the mistake of using a dizzy with a bronze gear....which now has teeth as sharp as razors..and the car barely runs. A friend of mine gave me a yellow Ford Racing dizzy gear, which is for...

    Hesitation, backfire, possible miss? Help.

    Ok, this started a few weeks ago....sort of. I started having a backfire issue randomly. I would really notice it during the first few minutes of driving when the car was cold, if I was accelerating between 2500 and 3200rpms I would hear a popping backfire through the exhaust...a distinct...

    96+ steering rack on a Fox?

    I have 96+ front spindles, fit fine and everything....but because the stock Fox rack is too short, my inner tie rod ends are threaded out too far in the outer ends. I figure a 96 rack is the proper length, and it should fit on the cradle fine, I just don't know about the lines and what not.

    Aluminum "standard size" or brass 3-core?

    After talking about how a stock radiator and a Taurus fan on the low speed works fine.....95* weather started up and now I am running warmer than normal. Everything is new, fan is working, car is not running hot....just running higher than normal. So I figured a new radiator to replace my...

    Radio pros, need your help...again.

    Ok, the past two head units in my car had horrible reception. The most recent head unit has a built in HD turner...same problem. A few weeks ago I took a different antenna cable, new antenna base, and new antenna. I assembled the three peices in my hand, plugged the end into the radio, and...

    Pic request: Inside door with no panel.

    I am looking for a picture of the inside of the door shell, up where the door panel/belt molding sits on the top lip of the inside of the door shell. My drivers side door panel will NOT sit down far enough. I have to push hard on the top of the panel to get the push pins to line up, and even...

    Where does the radio actually ground?

    I looked at some diagrams and can't figure out which ground is actually for the radio. I am trying to see if I am having a ground issue with the dash. I am having the standard "temp gauge moves with lights turning on" issue, but it ONLY happens with the lights and no other electrical load...

    Aftermarket gauge questions...many.

    Long story short, I am thinking about making my own cluster. I might use a Florida50 template, MC Machine template, or make my own....haven't decided yet. I would most likely go with the same gauges the stock cluster has, speedo, tach, volt, water temp, oil pressure, and fuel. My...

    Question about thermostats.

    Can a thermostat "bleed" a little hot water? Better yet, let me explain my question. A few weeks ago my Taurus fan started giving me problems, it wouldn't come on from time to time. Found out it developed a dead spot and just wouldn't come on at times, causing the car to run hot. Never...

    Taller rear springs?

    I had a set of Ford Racing B springs, but my rear sat too low for my tastes. I wanted to bring it up for wheel fit, so I installed some rear "hatchback variable rate" rear springs, OEM replacement type. It brought the rear up slightly, but I would like to bring it up some more. I have Strange...

    Dumps behind axle?

    I have Ford Racing shorties, a UPR X-pipe (I don't like to admit that), and Superturbos dumped at the muffler with just a set of turn-downs. At idle it drones inside the car, while driving they sound great. I dumped them because I simply don't have any room for tails, nor do I want them. So...

    Skinnier quad shocks? De-sheath them?

    I searched and found a ton of info on flipping....did that, not my issue. I had to flip my quad shocks for my tires, but now I am having an issue where they are coming in contact with my Strange adjustable shocks. The shield on the Strange shocks is touching the quad shocks and rubbing on...

    Poor radio reception. Can't solve.

    Poor radio reception/subwoofer air space questions. The basics: Alpine CDA-9847 head unit, 88 Mustang w/o stock amp. Used a harness adapter and everything works fine, except the radio reception. I double checked my antenna lead at the antenna base on the fender, I also double checked the...

    Battery relocate ground question.

    Are there any signs to look for that would indicate a bad ground? Or better yet, if you don't have a "good enough" ground could you have possible problems in the future? In haste I was forced to "finish" my battery relocate today, in order to fix a fan problem. I didn't have the time to run...

    Question for the younger Fox guys (22-)

    After reading the thread about average ages, I noticed a lot of younger guys/girls are here. I am talking about the late teens, early 20s. This question is for you.... Do you look at the Fox body Mustangs as "classic" or "muscle" cars? It got me thinking because I never looked at them as...

    E-brake question.

    Has anybody had this problem...and if so, what was your solution? My e-brake handle has always been loose, side to side movement. Lately I notice that at random times I will pull the handle up and it will come up tight, then a loud click and the handle will go loose and the brake will not...

    Spring experts, quick question.

    I currently have Ford Racing C springs which supposedly lower the rear .5". I would like to bring JUST the rear back up to roughly stock height to accommodate my 275/40/17s, but I don't want to sacrifice ride. I can get my hands on just about any stock spring, but I don't know which route I...
