    Speed Cal Removal - Vss Connector To Harness

    Looking at Step 7 on their instructions you take the VSS connector and remove the red contact lock, and then remove both contacts. It sounds like on the back of this connector there were two wires (one going to each contact) that were connecting over to the circular wiring harness connector in...

    Speed Cal Removal - Vss Connector To Harness

    I had the Dallas Mustang Speed Cal installed on my 98 GT and eventually the board blew a circuit, resulting in my Speedometer and Odometer to stop working (Tachometer still worked.) The Speed Cal itself has 5 wires coming off of it, Red (Hot/Power,) Blue, Green, Grey, and White. The Blue and...

    Speedometer Stopped Working

    The car used to have 4.10's (currently has 3.27's) installed and I had a Dallas Mustang SpeedCal that I used to calibrate the speedometer. Both the Speedometer and the Tachometer stopped working, the car was throwing a check engine light as well. I pulled the codes and it was generating a P0500...

    Car Intermittently dies when I take it out of gear

    Hey All, I have a 98 GT 5spd that I don't put many miles on at this time, and it has been experiencing this issue for the better part of the past 3 years or so. Basically, I can be cruising around (usually under 50MPH) and if I take the car out of gear and put it in neutral the RPM's will not...

    Speedometer stopped working after several years using SpeedCal

    I have had the Speedcal on my 98 GT since my gear install around 2002. The Speedometer stopped working about a year ago all of the sudden along with the Odometer, the rest of the cluster works including the Tach/RPM's. I got the codes scanned and it was throwing the P0500 code when the Check...

    Long tubes vs shorty headers

    I have MAC Long Tubes on the car and I was able to remove the transmission without having to loosen/remove either Header. It was one of the more stressful jobs in my life, but it is possible to do this without doing anything with the headers first. You have to spin/twist the transmission...

    A valuable lesson for people doing PI swap

    I have been looking into Heads/Cams packages myself and I came across the CMS web site and saw some of their deals that seemed reasonable price wise. The cheapest package they have listed is Patriot Performance Stage II porting for $1145. Considering most shops will charge you $600 to $800 for...

    Stuck trying to drop Fuel Tank

    Yeah I had found an article from someone swapping out the pump on another 98. He stated that he used a 5/16 remover for the fuel line at the top of the image. I'll give it some more work, and if all else fails i'll end up buying that pack at AutoZone bhuff is referring to. I was hoping I...

    Stuck trying to drop Fuel Tank

    I am in the process of replacing my fuel pump, but I am stuck at the bane of my existence; removing the last fuel line. This fuel line appears to be smaller than the 2 lines that feed into the Fuel Filter (3/8), so I picked up the 5/16 Fuel Line remover tool as well. I got 2 lines off the...

    Fuel Pump went out 98 GT?

    Was able to verify 12V at the Inertia Switch in the trunk. I believe since there is no FPDM in the 98's then this verifies that power is going from the switch to the Pump. Aside from a busted wire or messed up ground, all signs point to the Fuel Pump I believe? I am going to go with the...

    Fuel Pump went out 98 GT?

    Latest update: Previous testing for power at the Inertia switch has resulted in 6.9v on each end. I've got my hands on a different meter I am going to be testing the voltage today after work to try and confirm the voltage. The battery is a spare battery I had charging on my battery charger...

    Fuel Pump went out 98 GT?

    I do not have much experience working on the car, so I may be asking questions that you would normally not hear. I wanted to make sure I troubleshoot this correctly so we can diagnose the problem. How exactly am I supposed to try and manually power on the fuel pump? Based on reading many...

    Fuel Pump went out 98 GT?

    I believe everything is okay with the PATS system. When I turn the key to the On position it comes on for 2 to 3 seconds and then goes away. The first thing that came to my mind was the little fuel that was in the car would of gummed up over the past year. I have a new fuel filter as well...

    Fuel Pump went out 98 GT?

    I've researched some of the other posts on this subject and I believe the fuel pump went out in the car. A little history of the car, it has not been driven in over a year and has been sitting in outdoor covered parking for 9 months, a garage for the last 3 months. When I crank the car it does...

    98GT been out of service -What is new on the scene?

    Good stuff G&G. I'm curious in the difference of RWHP you can expect from the different setups, as i'm personally inclined to build up the 4.6 if there are small differences. I see your numbers and that's what I was realistically hoping for with a PI headswap. I'm looking around, but perhaps...

    Sooo Annoyed with my 98!!

    Gears should be your first investment bar none. These cars have a hard time getting into the power band with the 3.27's. If you don't have a long commute, don't even hesitate and throw in 4.10's. At 80 mph you will be running 2900 RPMS; go the speed limit when your not racing and you'll be...
