    Car won't start sometimes and dies randomly

    PIP or Hall-effect or stater. Its basically the electronic version of "points" from older cars. It tells the computer when to fire the coil. To replace it you have to remove the dist. slide off the gear and the stop plate(they have roll pins)from the shaft then remove the shaft. The pip then can...

    Car won't start sometimes and dies randomly

    It might be the PIP. I had the same problem a year ago, changed the PIP (inside the distributer)no more stalls. But now a year later the symptoms came back, and yestreday I couldnt get my car started, so I will buy another one and see if it works.

    Fuse keeps blowing

    I checked the wire diagram, and it looks like the #8 pin (DK GRN/YEL) on the PCM is connected to the 12volt positive wire going to the pump. In my case after a few burnt fuses my fuel pump stopped working even though the last fuse I put in did not blow. So as of now I still have a 20amp fuse in...

    Fuse keeps blowing

    I didnt have to do anything else. Im checking the wire diagram now to see if the PCM can tell if the pump is on or not. I thought it just sent a signal out to turn the pump on without any feedback. Im not sure.I know that the PCM turns on a relay that then supplies power to the pump. Ill keep...

    Fuse keeps blowing

    Soldering A fuse will be fine. I was trouble shooting at the time so my tank was down. So I spliced close to the pump. But you can splice anywhere up the line until you come to where the short actually is. Thats what Im going to do anyway. (find where the short is)

    Fuse keeps blowing

    Yeah its the brown and pink one. I went to pep boys and bought a inline fuse holder and a 20amp fuse, along with a switch. I attached it the positive side of the battery and ran the line to the positive wire (brown & pink) of the pump. So just flip the switch to turn on and off the pump.

    Fuse keeps blowing

    Correct, in order to blow a fuse you have to have more current flowing then your fuse is rated at. If you have a bad ground it will stop the current from flowing, it will not allow more current to flow. Sadly I am haveing the same problem. As of now I havent found where it is shoring out. So for...

    How many here run AFR 165's on 306's?

    Though I run AFR 185's on my 347, I would have to recomend the AFR 165's, I think everyone has seen the comparisons and can come to the conclusion that these are the best "out of the box" heads availible. When you check out those smooth CNC ported runners instead of the chunky castings of the...

    25 lb weight removal

    I just took off the inner fender to trouble shoot a vacuum leak and saw this thing that said "Caution 25lbs". :shrug: And then BLING didnt I see something on Stangnet about this? So I ran over to the computer and logged on, and it looks like I'm going to be 25lbs lighter on the front end...

    stangnet.com takes big post

    I'm 38 and am fairly new to this site. I also have posted questions that didn’t get answers and at first was disappointed. I looked at the “views” and saw that there were a lot of people reading but not answering. I came to the conclusion that out of all the people on this forum some are good...

    Crane 1.7 Roller rockers

    Mine are a little noisy, not bad at all though. No one has ever said anything about it. Ive had them for over two years now, maybe they get quite as time goes by. :shrug:

    AFR 185's good for everyday street use?

    I run a N/A 347 with AFR 185's and love them. Out of the box they are the best heads on the market.
