    Load baring knock.

    How's the thicker oil hurting it? :( I'm running 93, I tried putting a booster in there also thinking it was bad gas when it first started.

    Load baring knock.

    Someone told me about doing that but I don't know enough about it. They said take a plug one at a time off of the coil pack and ground it to the block and start it to see if the sound goes away or changes. But once again, I'm not trying to die. :D

    Load baring knock.

    I also posted this in the SVT forum but it's not as viewed so I wanted to post it here also. So, I'm pulling into my apartment complex in my 97 Cobra. I speed up a little to get to the speed bump and when I reach 2000rpm I hear a knock. WTF? I find out after driving around to better hear it...

    Load baring knock

    So, I'm pulling into my apartment complex in my 97 Cobra. I speed up a little to get to the speed bump and when I reach 2000rpm I hear a knock. WTF? I find out after driving around to better hear it that it only knocks between 2000 and 4000rpm. First thing I did was check the oil, it was a...

    Fan stays running?

    I waited about 5 mins and it didn't shut off. Also it was't very hot yesterday. The operating temp was about the same as it always is. The needle was on the M on the word normal. So from what I'm reading it might have been running a little warm and that's why the fan kept running...

    Fan stays running?

    I posted this in the SVT forum also but not as many people read it. When I came home from work today I turned my car off closed the doors, locked it, all that good stuff. Walked up to my apartment and I heard the fan in my car running. I poped the hood and there it was, just spinning it's...

    Check Engine Light

    I stopped by Autozone and had them do a check for me. It said Misfire in cyl 3. Okay, I just got the car not too long ago, wire and plugs were coming this weekend. Not a big deal. I thank the lady and get in my car to leave. It won't start. The starter just clicks and clicks. The...

    Check Engine Light

    I have had my 97 Cobra for a little over a week. It has 104k on it. It was a little chilly yesterday morning and raining. I started the car and it seemed to idle a little high 1100 (usually at 800). I figured it was because of the weather and needed to warm up a bit. By the time I got out of...

    New Cobra!

    Thanks for all of the comments guys. Also, good information there Duke! And no, I haven't thought about changing them, I like them. =D If I were to change them I would probably do R's or the black bullits like CobraII has. Being that I just bought it and paid $400 yesterday for a head...

    New Cobra!

    Yep, springs, headlights, and antenna are the first things to come. When putting springs on it do I have to also put cc plates? I have heard that when lowered it wears your tires more because they will sit more at an angle. Is this true?

    Oreagon gas

    Oregon requires oxygenated gasoline in the southern part of the state around the Medford and Grants Pass areas and 7.8 RVP oxygenated gasoline in the Portland metropolitan region. Per this page: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/state/or.html I can't find the Octane raiting for there. :shrug:
