Quick version... bought a 98 motor, put PI heads, cams, intake on the motor. Somehow the crank reluctance wheel got put on backwards and busted the right timing chain. Which in turn busted a valve on cylinder 2. Took the head off and took it to a shop. They fixed the head. Slapped it back...

Okay, I found a reliable source for PI heads and a pretty good price I might add. So I called to order a pair and the guy asks me what kind I need. I tell him that I have a 97 GT with Romeo, 11 bolt valve cover heads. So then he asks me to look at the cam caps. Well I can't cause they are in my...

Didn't figure you were. I have a BBK 75MM Throttle Body. It doesn't have the little air hole in the blade that the factory model has. So in order to keep air flowing you have to crack the blade a touch, the equivilant of the factory hole. What I have found with my own car is that throttle...

Can't find the instructions I used but it was either from BBK or Stangnet or Corral or eh.. who knows.. either way it's just what i've used and haven't had any problems. When I haven't set the voltage within this range I've had issues. maybe my PCM is just really picky. I know she seems to be...

Did you feel any gains from the swap?

Did you do the PI Intake install yourself?

Oops.. :eek: sorry. I've edited the instructions. Thanks for catching that. Like they used to say in school always read through the instructions. HA! Never thought that would come in handy huh? :nice:

It may sound a little daunting for someone with no car experience but it really isn't that bad. Take it from someone who knew nothing about cars before I bought my Mustang. I've learned a lot since then. It did help that I had an extra vehicle at the time. It can get very frustrating and...

DO NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL!! What you will need: a mutlimeter, a big screw phillips screwdriver and some sort of small metal piercing tool What will be handy but not necessary: an extra set of hands, a scan tool that will give you live data readings. you can rent one from O'Reillys or...

Ever since I upgraded my CAI, tb and plenum anytime I disconnect the battery I have to go through the entire process of disconnecting the IAC and letting the car restablish idle.. if i don't it misfires and acceleration sucks..

Have you put a scanner on there to make sure you aren't getting any codes. I have a 97 GT Vert and she's been known to throw codes without triggering the CEL. I had the exact problem you are having along with a short in the PCM wiring. You want to talk about a PITA!!! Don't give up man. I...

Say, I have a '97 Stang and I'm considering doing an engine swap myself. Just not digging the high compression ratio a head swap would leave me with. My question is what accessories from your car swapped right over? Like alternator, water pump, ac compressor??? My understanding is that with...

Wires are good... I guess i'm really down to fuel injection... maybe a bad fuel filter?? anyone?

I went ahead and replaced the ignition coils.. after inspecting them they had quite of bit of corrosion on the underside and on the power terminals. I guess I didn't think about the wire... they are really new like from Feb of this year. But I guess with enough heat (I do live in the Houston...

Update: Filled her up and dropped in some fuel injector cleaner (lucas?) Seemed to help things quite a bit. Now she is only hesitating about every other run. Could I have a fuel injector going out??

Okay. Thanks. In the mean time... a buddy of mine suggested bad spark plugs or ignition coil may be my problem. I tested the ignition coils last night and they tested fine. Went ahead and replaced the plugs this morning. Now it is only hesitating during accel right around 2K rpm in 3rd, 4th...

UPDATE: Hey guys... just now getting time to look into this again. Haven't had time to replace the fuel filter. Wanted to see if anybody else has any ideas. She started running fine a few days after I replaced the coils. I haven't been driving her much but I was going down the road the...
