    very high idle

    well, come to find out it turned out the be the IAC, evidently the one from autozone was crap too, but thanks to the gurus over here at arrington engines where i take classes (im sure any nascar fan knows what im talkin about) they hooked me up with a IAC off of a ranger and it idles smoother...

    very high idle

    well today the IAC, ECT, and MAF was replaced and still the same problem. im sure a vaccum leak couldnt cause it to idle this high, unless is was a major one, and there are definately no major leaks.

    very high idle

    No, the IAC hasnt been replaced, but i took it off and cleaned it out a moved it back and forth. then took it off again and noticed it seemed like it was in a little bit of a different position. The idle varies from 2000 - 2800 rpms, mostly 2300 - 2600, moving back and forth slowly. When we get...

    New engine, same bs.. advice needed

    New MAF now, but can still tell a considerable power loss after getting warmed up, and somethings leaking bad, no smoke, steam out of the exhaust. You can feel hot air blowing by sticking your hand close to the EGR, but the leak is actually under the egr somewhere. oh my, here we go again.

    New engine, same bs.. advice needed

    Now that i see the EGR, Mass air flow sensor, and an o2 sensor are the culprits, my wallet is going to be hurting a little more once again.

    Need a basic CAI for Daughters 94

    I bought the same type of CAI off of ebay just in red, for some $35. It's not the best out there, youll have to trim a little of the pipe off that goes into the throttle body so the piping wont rub against the fender, as for installation i had the remove the MAF from the housing, then bolted the...

    gauge position

    I just installed new gauge faces on my mustang and was wondering if someone could take a pic for me to refer to when i turn the key to the on pisiton. I need to know where the pointer is on a "cold start" with just the key turned on, not cranked, for the oil, temp, and battery gauges.

We got the heads and everything off and found a blown passenger side head gasket, took the lifters out...

    Steaming Coolant

    Is it wet around the cap? I noticed you said the jug was dry, maybe the hose is blocked off and coolant is escaping thru the cap. You might want to try a new cap too.
