I respect you and the help you give jrichker, hell you've helped me thru some of my past troubles - but right now, I just don't have the time tools or facilities to work on it (like I used to) and do have the money - and I originally sold the car because of said issues, the car was then GIVEN...

Its in the hands of someone else now, not I, I would assume the person would know what they are doing when it comes to maintenance on cars, as I am not a mechanic - I will however bring up these points next time I speak with him, maybe just print out the list - I just don't want to be a dick to...

So had the car covered (As it is a t-top) during the rainy season here in WA - but before I stopped working on her, I had the ECU out trying to figure out to finish my mass air conversion (splice the 4 wires from the pigtail coming from MAF into ECU) - Needless to say, put all that back in and...

So reading over this article on how to convert to MAF - MASS air conversion instructions from http://www.stangnet.com/tech/maf/massairconversion.html Under step 4 for thermactor pin moves - Is this required if all the smog and emissions stuff has been removed and plugged on the car?

heres mine -

I have a few questions as im digging into this - see picture below First question is - the wire that is branching off of the main harness and grounding to the frame- there is the blue looking connector with a wire cut off (to the right of the ending of the MAF connector), Im pretty sure...

Yea thats what I have been reading, so ill be doing that at some point before the end of the year. Ive been racking my brain trying to figure out why someone would put an actuall male adapter on the end of the harness unless it was connected to something at some point in time, but ive looked all...

On stilts :lol:

Hey guys - got some more info here, the ANSWER to the problem! I took a break from looking under the hood for a few days, it was stressing me out, just had to take a step back and breathe. So unhooked the MAF connecter from the sensor and freeing it up to get some slack in the line, and saw...

So as the title says, my MAF harness is not getting any power going to it, so it has been running in "limp" mode for a very long time. After I pulled codes a few days ago and got 66, and probed the red and black wire (pin to pin) and got no reading (car on, and just key on), same with the other...

Another thing im worried about is continuing to drive the car with the MAF not functioning. Could this cause damage to the car? And ive now read mixed things regarding having the BAP hooked up to the vaccum tree under the intake. I know the difference between the 2 different configurations...

Than a hunting I shall go - The computer is an A9L. After I pulled my computer the first time over a year ago to troubleshoot the absolute mess my car was (too much to go into, but can be searched for o_O) , I found an ECU out of a Mercury Topaz (shop that rebuilt didnt know elbows from their...

"Code 66 MAF below minimum test voltage. Insufficient or no voltage from MAF - Check for 12 volts between the red and black wires on the MAF heater (usually pins A & B). while the connector is plugged into the MAF." So I just went out on my break, took 2 T pins and peirced the red and black...

Yes, this is correct. I did uncork the hose coming out of the back of the upper, and hooked it back up to the MAP per his instruction (and he has 3 MAF stangs and a LTD wagon he dropped a stang motor in) He tested the MAP sensor, and it checked out just fine. And im wondering if this is a good...

Alright, finally got around to working on her, and with the help of a fellow stangnet founder and his wonderful OBD1 reader, here are the codes we got from it - 66 - KOEO - TOT sensor output was less than self test minimum value of .15 From CPU Memory - MAF sensor went below 0.4 volts in its...

Ill keep ya posted :)

Gearbanger - I may not take the heads off, and just use the gt40s that come on it. This can at least be my start for the winter. Get a good explorer engine, get it mounted up to my current trans (stock tremec t5 - will this work?), and get it running. Redoing the bearings, and pistons rings I...

Stykthyn - So if there is sludge behind the pistons, its a no go - If there is scoring on the cylender walls, its a no go, what else should i be looking out for? But if those 2 things check out, I probibly wont even bother with the bearings. a91what - Same question to you, what should I be...

So it needs to come out of a 96 - 01 explorer, and they already come with the gt40 heads, right? Ill try to talk the JY into letting me take the oil pan off while im still there at the yard to make sure that im not buying a POS. I would hate to take it home, get the pan off and find its...
