    Changing Fuel Pump

    When I did mine I had to drop it a 2nd time because I didn't know to replace the grommet and subsequently ended up leaking fuel every where after I had it done. The first time I followed the write-up on American Muscle to a T, which took me about 6 hours total to do. The 2nd time I did it, I...

    5.0 or 4.6 in an 80's Mustang

    If you're set on an engine swap I would recommend a roller block 351 swap from a 94 or newer Bronco, it's a fairly simple swap as far as engine swaps go and it's been well documented plus it will give you more low end torque and hp with only about 75lbs added to the car and a much stronger...

    Wipers died on me

    So I'm driving down the freeway to work in the rain today and my wipers started to go reallllllllly slow. They were barely making it across the windshield then they started moving about an inch at a time and then they just died all together. Before I go out and buy stuff, do you guys believe...

    Mustang GT horrible gas mileage after tune up

    I already replaced it. The car is no longer leaking gas but is still having running problems. I did find that it is A LOT easier to drop the tank if you remove the passenger's side wheel.

    Mustang GT horrible gas mileage after tune up

    They're emission lines, ours are 1/8". I found them at Pep Boy's for $4 a pack but they aren't color coded. Here's the best diagram I could find: http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/789790-1990-mustang-5-0-vacuum-emission-line-routing.html

    Mustang GT horrible gas mileage after tune up

    I replaced the broken emission lines that I could find but idle is still surging. I'm trying to follow the surging idle checklist but I could only trace where one of the lines went and can't find anything online about it. Also how do I test the egr? I'm going to try a set of copper plugs to...

    Teksid block or 03?

    I believe the offiicial weight of each block is 85 lbs. for the aluminum vs. 153 lbs for the iron.

    Teksid block or 03?

    I'd go with the Teksid. I have heard of people pushing over 1000hp on them when properly built without any issues.

    Mustang GT horrible gas mileage after tune up

    I pulled the codes and got a code 14... Which from what I could find is the TFI module on the distributor. Would it have gone bad this soon or is it possible that the code is from before when I was having problems with the distributor? Also from what I found it said those lines are egr lines...

    IMRC questions

    Hey guys I've posted in the 5.0 tech before, haven't posted here in the SVT section but I have a couple questions on cleaning my 96 Cobra IMRC's. I have the intake out and cleaned but I can't seem to get the IMRC's disconnected from the actuator cables. Is there a way to do this so that I...

    Mustang GT horrible gas mileage after tune up

    Ok I went ahead and did a little investigating under the hood and found this: Do you guys know where I can find a diagram as to what these are and or where they go to?

    Mustang GT horrible gas mileage after tune up

    Damn it wasn't it.... I was hoping I'd get lucky. Don't you mean it would cause problems with it advanced or am I missing something? I guess I can try retarding it but it doesn't make sense to me that I would need to retard it back when it's at exactly the same mark before I upgraded the...

    Mustang GT horrible gas mileage after tune up

    I just realized we didn't pull the spout connector when we adjusted the timing :bang:.... Would this be causing my problems?

    Mustang GT horrible gas mileage after tune up

    Ok so I think I got the fuel situation taken care of but now it's acting a little sluggish on start up. From what I have read my guess is that it is the TPS sensor but I wanted your guys input before I start spending my money blindly. As it is right now it takes a second to start and then it...

    Mustang GT horrible gas mileage after tune up

    Ok so what all should I replace? So far I'm going to get new fuel line clips and a gasket. As much fun as dropping the gas tank and putting it back in is :rolleyes: I really don't want to have to drop the tank for a third time because I missed something.

    Mustang GT horrible gas mileage after tune up

    It's coming from the rear.... It only seems to leak while driving which made me think it was the gasket but like I said I can't see any where that it's leaking from.

    Mustang GT horrible gas mileage after tune up

    Well I took it out last night for a drive and could smell fuel while running but not other wise. I can't see that it's leaking from the gasket and it's not dripping any where so I'm guessing it must be where the line connects to the sending unit on top of the tank.
