    Rear End Noise, Help Please

    Bearings normally growl when noisy. Gears will whine. If it's most noticeable at about 40 to 50 mph, I'd say it's the crown and pinion and they weren't set up properly.

    possible computer problem ?

    It may be just normal lockup torque converter chuggle. Mine does a similer type of thing at about 60 kph. I've just learned how to "drive around it". It did it stock. After gear change. After two different programmers and after installing a high stall converter. I was told by a Ford dealer when...

    Mine did the same thing with a Fram oil filter. I only use AC Delco filters currently and never had a tick with them.

    01 GT After changing spark plugs and coil packs, car started ticking/knocking, now it wont run.

    To me it sounds like somethiing fell into one of the plug holes into a cylinder. I'd suggest a compression test. Are any of the autolite plugs damaged?

    Odd Misfire/Slip

    That black wire stuffed into the fuse block like that is really a bad idea. I've seen people do that and cause the same type of symptoms you're describing. Stuffing the wire in there spreds the contacts in the fuse panel and causes a poor connection. With the engine running try wiggling that...

    Pull the OBDII history?

    It's likely a bad cat. In Canada Cat's and ecm's are covered by a 7 year 130,000 km warranty. Likely a similar warranty in the states. I'd suggest you go back to the selling dealer and insist they fix it.

    Air Care 2003 GT

    They don't use a gas analyzer in BC on OBD II vehicles 98 and later. They scan the car and if there are any codes or all the readiness monitors haven't run then you'll fail. It's just easiest to throw the stock cats back on, clear the codes and drive it for a few days, then have it tested...

    CEL after installing MILs?

    when I was running mil eliminaters, I'd get cat efficiency codes, everytime I cleared the codes or reconnected the battery, after sitting for the winter. If I kept driving it, the light would go out after a few days of driving and would not come back on again.

    4.10's / new shift points?

    I've got 3.73's and a 3500 rpm stall converter. I had to lower the 1-2 shift point down to 5200 rpm to get my shift to take place at 5850 rpm. with the gear change the revs climb so fast that the computer has a hard time keeping up. So yes you will likely have to adjust at least the 1-2 wide...

    Tune Re-Learning???

    The tune is not lost, but the computer has to relearn the iac, for correct idle speed and minimum idle speed, as well the fuel trim needs to be relearned.

    speedo still off!!

    Some of the older revisions of the predator have a glitch if you use the 87 octane tune the gear change in the tune won't take. You have to use the 93 octane tune. You can update the predator to the latest revision but then you lose the ability to turn of the post cat o2's and egr.

    New best !

    Damn you for raising the bar!:fairyfight: Just kidding. Nice runs. :hail2:

    Do I worry too much?

    The hiss is the pressures in the a/c lines equalizing after you shut the car off. That's normal. The idle symptoms might be a sluggish iac. You might want to have it cleaned. It wouldn't hurt to take the battery terminals off and clean them for the window issue. Might all be normal though.

    Poll : Wire Mesh Filter

    I put a K&N fipk, on my 01 gt. The instructions said not to use the sreen, so I left it out. No issues. Ran the same as with the stock intake. With the stock air filter the air is drawn in through the sides, but with the fipk, the air is drawn in straight through the filter,as well as though the...
