    Electrical Will start, then it wont, crank but no fire, eliminator chip

    Yeah I thought 5.0 fox tech was enough. 89 GT 5spd. Anyone who "tunes" cars usually has a deal they connect a laptop to the EEC to build a tune to put on a tune chip which then plugs into the same port on the EEC (have to take the case off and theres a circuit board port don't know what else to...

    Electrical Will start, then it wont, crank but no fire, eliminator chip

    Yes I get all that. Not everything has to be an insult you know. Just stating the facts. Wanted to include the fix for my issue so the thread is not just another post of the list and nothing else, a search result with its own resolution. I thought the bit about the computer readout on the sensor...

    Electrical Will start, then it wont, crank but no fire, eliminator chip

    I was hoping not to get the boiler plate response cause I knew it wouldn't help me and it also kills a thread. Not likely to get any other replies. But anyway it turned out to be the ECT coolant temp sensor. It even showed to work normally when friends laptop was plugged in. Later after checking...

    Electrical Will start, then it wont, crank but no fire, eliminator chip

    Been doing this all spring. Will start fine, drive around, park it, won't fire again till it sits for a day whether I disconnect the battery or not. It usually starts again right away after shutting it off but if it sits for half hour then it won't fire. I've replaced distributor and TFI module...

    Electrical Bad ignition switch frying starters?

    89 GT 5 spd. First to go, I believe, was the stock ignition coil. Would crank but no fire. Had to tow it home. Drove it fine 2 more days then crank but no fire again. Replaced the coil and I think it started once, has been going on for weeks so cant remember for sure, but then wouldn't crank...

    Forced Induction Sc General ?'s

    Base trick flow heads n cam. From what I found out so far its starting to look like more work than it's worth to me. I have lots of mods. Just not enough for a SC.

    Forced Induction Sc General ?'s

    Currently I've got 24# injectors and 190 liter fuel pump. Is that enough to run 6-9 lbs of boost? Thanks,

    Engine 89 Gt Vacuum Ports

    I deleted the smog pump when I did the heads, cam and intake. EGR is there. I figured that tree would be the same for all so thought I just needed to establish with a pic what I was talking about. We've all seen them but without a pic you get all kinds of crazy answers. The 2 capped lines...

    Engine 89 Gt Vacuum Ports

    That's great but someone must know what those 2 ports might be. I found a lot of that in my own searches. If I had a couple suggestions I can run them down. I'm not gonna become a certified auto tech just so I can get 3-4 units of vacuum.

    Engine 89 Gt Vacuum Ports

    The passenger side vacuum harness or whatever it's called. 1 line goes to the intake the other to the vac tree on the driver side. Anyone know what the 2 capped ones might be? They feel to have little or no vacuum. The tree has great vacuum tho there is less than ideal in the system. About 15...

    Electrical 69 Alternator Upgrade

    Want to upgrade to modern alternator with built in voltage regulator. Assuming there is a late model year that will fit my 69 351W brackets? What should I look for at the junk yard? I did some searching for compatibility lists. Couldn't find much.

    The Horn Button Thread. :)

    Here's a funny, dumb one. My horn button keeps falling off the press plate. Last time I used super glue. Any common sense ideas? JB weld maybe? Heres what I have.

    Paint and Body 69 Hood Hinges Bent?

    I was told that the hinges might be bent. Not the hood. But I will double check the hinges adjustment. Thanks,

    Paint and Body 69 Hood Hinges Bent?

    The hinges are mounted solid. I've been trying to track down more local classic body guys. Got some leads. I loosend the bolts on one hinge and it's as low as possible.

    69 351w Radiator Upgrade?

    I was able to get plenty of room with a 1.5" spacer and the 16" wide fan. I had to get generic plastic clips and screws for the fan shroud as the ones I ordered from mustangs unlimited and universal ones from local store wouldn't fit. Will figure that out later. Now she cools like a jewel!

    Paint and Body Paint Peel N Chip

    Has been holding ok so far. But my car is always garaged and never gets wet unless I wash it.

    Paint and Body 69 Hood Hinges Bent?

    I got my car this way. The back corners of the hood stick up maybe not an inch but is very noticeable. I recently took it to a body shop and the guy said it's because the hinges are bent back by like pushing the hood back while it's open all the way. Like a person leaning on it a lot I guess. So...

    Wideband O2 Sensor?

    Just for anyone that finds this thread. You don't have to buy one of the expensive wideband systems and gauges. I found out you can buy just the sensor and swap out with the stock one but to benefit you probably have to have a programmable chip installed on your ECU and have it tuned. I have a...

    Wideband O2 Sensor?

    Anyone know anything about these? The price range is crazy. Is it worth getting the cheapest just to try? AEM electronics at $85. My whole top end is aftermarket. EDIT, Oops. Posted in wrong forum. Mine is an 89. Was just looking for the word "tech" Thanks

    69 351w Radiator Upgrade?

    If my fan comes apart and I can put a 16" wide fan on it should be perfect distance from radiator without changing length. Just need smaller diameter to clear the hose and lines on the bottom. Thanks!
