    Air Fuel at Cruising, Light Load

    It runs the same until I hit WOT, when I hit WOT it runs fine. For a couple minutes after I hit WOT it will run really good, like in the 11's-12's at idle and light load but then it goes back to 16-18.

    Air Fuel at Cruising, Light Load

    Hmm...it's a brand new wideband from Kurgan, I hope it doesn't already need a calibration. Thanks for clarifying how the EEC determines how much fuel to give the engine, I am going to make an appointment ASAP to get another bung welded on so that I can put my O2 back in to see if that...

    What to look for when purchasing a used motor

    No thanks on those hypers with a big blower or nitrous setup. Looks like I will be hunting for just some GT40 heads and intake rather than a whole explorer motor.

    Air Fuel at Cruising, Light Load

    I recently had my car tuned by Dez and installed an air fuel gauge which made me notice I run really lean during idle and cruising with light load, at around 16-18+ on my gauge. This is with one of the O2's unplugged, I always read it goes really rich if one or both are unplugged so what...

    Brake Job, Stuck.

    Thanks for the replies guys, I sanded them down a tiny bit with a dust mask on and they fit fine now! I just wanted to make sure I could do it.

    Brake Job, Stuck.

    I cannot for the life of me get my caliper over my rotor after doing my brake job. I am running Green Stuff EBC brake pads with Brembo Blank rotors and it looks like there is about 1/8" more clearance needed for me to be able to put my caliper on. I have depressed the piston all the way using...

    Compressor High Side! Help!

    I am trying to recharge my AC and I do not know where the high and low ports are. I have the car in my sig, there is a port on the top of the compressor and there is also a port on one of the lines coming off of the compressor. I just tried to recharge it myself and I hooked up the pressure...

    Car SOMETIMES doesn't start.

    Plug wires are fairly new, less than a year old, but then again so was the cap and rotor and I found out the rotor was rusty. What kind of leakage am I looking for? Thanks.

    Car SOMETIMES doesn't start.

    Where can I get wire drier? I do think it is the moisture, it hasn't happened to me in the dry weather yet...maybe I haven't given it enough time. I am having a miss when I romp on it really hard, I think it is because I am running stock heat range plugs with 12psi, I need to get the meth...

    Car SOMETIMES doesn't start.

    It seemed to only happen when it was wet out. I just got a new rotor and cap, i noticed the old one wiggled a little bit. Is there supposed to be some sort of rubber o-ring type thing that goes on the cap?

    Car SOMETIMES doesn't start.

    I have noticed that in the past few days my car sometimes will not start up, it will crank and sometimes fire but then it will die. Usually I just crank it up again and it will start, I haven't yet been stranded anywhere but I am trying to keep that from happening. I have checked the Crank...

    6G Alternator Help!

    I checked the ground near the battery and it was fine, also I tightened the nut down on the back a lot and actually sandwiched a piece of metal in there because the connector is an oval so that it would touch the whole connector. I am going to go check right now to see what color the...

    6G Alternator Help!

    I have the 6G Alt in my car, and at idle the volt meter needle likes to bounce up and down along with my idle but when I am cruising the needle stays at a solid 14V. My idle will only vary a little bit, maybe 50rpm, but my voltage will go from like 14V down to 11V and then bounce from 11V to 8V...

    Messed Up Valve Cover Breather! Help!

    I don't have a cowl hood, I don't think it would work without a cowl hood. Does anyone know about how high off the valve cover a breath such as this one sits? http://www.jegs.com/i/Ford%20Racing/397/M-6766-B302/10002/-1 I am going to have my parts guy order me one tomorrow so I can test...

    Messed Up Valve Cover Breather! Help!

    I have the car in my sig, I just installed some Mr. Gasket valve cover breathers and I cut a 1-1/4" hole underneath the upper intake manifold and my breather will not fit under it. I have a few options here I can either buy a new stock valve cover and drill the hole right at the very end of...

    Help! Capacitor Broke on ECU!

    Do you know what the function is of that specific capacitor? I am wondering if it would explain one of the querk's with my car.

    Help! Capacitor Broke on ECU!

    While installing my SCT chip I noticed that one of the capacitors was unusually loose, upon further inspection I noticed it had broken off at the bottom but was still soldered into the board. Can anyone tell me what the function of this capacitor is? Also where can I get a new one? Thank you...
