    Rear brake pad clips, need 'um?

    WOW!, talk about back from the dead. I have since bought a 05' GT, sold it and now have a '07 Roush 427R.

    white smoke

    Mine puffs smoke when I first start it after sitting a couple of days. The smoke puff goes away then the condensation steam starts. Video

    cold air kits??

    It also looks like you can take out the venturi for added flow if you purchase the tuner in the future. This looks like you can have your cake and eat it too.

    Ignition problem, out of ideas.

    Welp the car re-broke during the night time. The next morning it ran like a 5 cylinder, tach went absolutley berserk. I took the 1 year old plug wires off and every single one was dry cracked. Went and got some new ones. FIXED, tach and all. FYI, Autozone Duralast wires only last one year...

    Ignition problem, out of ideas.

    Looks like my 2wk old Bosch platinum plugs were the problem. Read on here and corral that they seem to make the 5.0's run like crap. I replaced my old autolite 25's with the bosches just because it was time, now i've got new 25's back in. I didnt see any cracks in them (bosches) when I took...

    Ignition problem, out of ideas.

    Well, the problem is 75% gone. Every now and then I get power let-off. Usually at higher rpms, but sometimes I get just a single bump like miss while cruising. My tach is still freaked out. I sprayed my wires with water tonight. My entire new coil is fuzzy with blue electricity. A...

    Paper clip codes: I'm getting 3 flashes about 2 seconds apart, 3x I think.

    Ignition problem, out of ideas.

    It was the freakin' hose from this morning, I'm an idiot. I was pulling the codes this morning using the paper clip method. I ended up turning off the key to do it again because I messed up, and it seemed to erase them. I've got to take the distributor core back to autozone in the morning...

    Ignition problem, out of ideas.

    AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I forgot to plug back the hose on the intake tube that goes to the oil filler neck. I took all of that off back this morning when I replaced the ignition module. Stand by, I'm going to go slam my head in the hood a couple of times then go for a test...

    Ignition problem, out of ideas.

    No dice! New distributor, still lays down before shifting @ full throttle. Tach goes crazy, now not even under a load. I can be in park, rev and hold at 3000rpms (or anything above 2000) and it bounces up and down about 700rpm increments. The engine is NOT changing speed when its doing this...

    Ignition problem, out of ideas.

    Thanks, I'm picking up the new distributor this afternoon. I've replaced the (in order) coil, ignition module & cap. They've all been improvements but the tach is still freaking out. Replacing all of these (which probably could have used replacing) is going to cost less than $200. I'm not...

    Ignition problem, out of ideas.

    After much more reading, I think I'm going to start with the TFI Ignition module in the morning. My head hurts.

    Ignition problem, out of ideas.

    After more testing, I found it will stutter at around 2000rpms while going up a steep hill under a load. The tach actually looks like the second hand on a clock ticking.

    Ignition problem, out of ideas.

    My '95gt has started hitting a brick wall at about 3500+ rpms. Searching on here led me to replace the original coil with the MSD Blaster OEM replacement. Still does it [not as bad]. Symptoms: - under acceleration @ 3500+ rpms it feels like someone cuts the power in half. - the tach seems...

    Rear brake pad clips, need 'um?

    They needed to be on. That was THE worst brake job I've ever done. Wafer thin clips, special tools, and 4hrs., who designed these brakes? Brake jobs should be easy. The fronts took 30 minutes. My hands are killing me. At least Autozone let me borrow the tool.

    Rear brake pad clips, need 'um?

    I'm talking about the 4 (2 on each) thin metal clips on the top and bottom of each brake pad on the rear brakes. They are driving me insane trying to keep them in place. If the are just the "sqealers" I'll leave them off. I have to go get the special tool to compress the piston this...

    Crushed window motor bushings: info

    FYI: They are available at Autozone on the HELP shelf for $4. I went to ford and they had a kit but it wasnt for a '95 mustang. I had to take it apart to get the bushings out. I did it while standing at the counter to make sure they fit before spending $27 on it. The guy felt bad and gave...

    Turning off O/D button, any gains?

    I tried searching but it doesn't like to search for a word with only 2 letters. Anyway just wondering. The best 0-60 i've "gteched" was 6.90sec. It seems to shift out of 1st a little early or maybe my tach is a few rpms behind. I've never had an auto sports car, only sticks. Does turning...
