its not detonation... it turns out after some more diagnosis that it is misfiring. i cant tell if it is 1 cylinder or all of them. possible just 1 which me think that a spark plug is bad. im gonna replace all of the plugs and do the wires also just to be sure.

havent changed a thing on it.

i just filled her up at a nother gas station with 93. im gonna wait a day or two to make sure it mixes in and then see if i still get detonation. if its not the gas any idea on what it could be?

this is really not good.... my car was running fine sunday night. i was a ittle low on gas (93) so i decided to wait to fill up on monday morning before i went to school. i filled up with BP 93 octane gas. as i was getting onto the highway i didnt puzh it hard because there wasnt much...

my car had the same problem. there is a part on the steering wheel where the contacts meet the pad. i bent those out of the way a little. it stopped that problem and the horn still works fine.

? the fluid does go down. and there is excessive pedal play. if there are no external leaks does this mean that there could be internal leaks? Could the master cylinder be leaking internally? Like the seals inside the master cylinder be leaking into the booster? i dont know much about...

ok.... I added more fluid but the problem still persists. the real problem is when i hit the brakes. i push down the pedal and i have to go about 3/4 of the way down before the car really starts to brake. and i have to push it hard. i checked the fluid today and it hasnt gone down since i...

I noticed today that my brake pedal wasnt feeling as stiff as it usually is. I noticed that my fluid resevoir was low in the front half of it. The back half was full to the top with fluid. I checked all of the calipers and none of them are leaking. neither are the brake lines going to the...

on the hatch there is susposed to be a bushing type thing. the part that sticks out on the car where the latch goes around has a plastic/rubber thing wrapped around it. mine did the same thing. one day i went to shut the trunk and it didnt. i eventually found it lying by the spare tire and i...

the best for the money is a stock head that is ported and polished. is direct bolt on so it is wasy and way cheaper than the esslinger head.

i have bought a precision turbo which is made by garrett. i got the sc23. it is a pretty sweet turbo. oil lines only no cooland tho. it was a universal one. it bolts right up and uses an internal wastegate like the stock one. i got an exhaust manifold from huron alloys in canada through...

I found a guy who owns a performance shop in town and has a used Snow Performance Boost Cooler. it is a stage 2 version so it has 2 injectors. It has all of the wiring harnesses and such. is it hard to mount it on the intake of an SVO? and is it worth $100? i think they retail for like...

well it turns out that there was a puddle of oil sitting in the turbo on the hot side. i felt up in the manifold and it was dry as can be. there is no oil on the plugs or in the cylinders themselves, thank god. so i sent the turbo off to garrett to have it either rebuilt or replaced since it...

i put a k&n filter on my svo and it did the same noise. it spools fast as hell now. the noise hasnt lead to any problems. and if you run a recirculation line back before the turbo the noise will go away. that sound is just a surge. it would be smart to hook up a BOV too. that would stop...

I did a compression test and all of the cylinders are at about 100psi. is that low? isnt it susposed to be like between 120-130 psi? Im gonna hopefully do a leak soen test on monday when i go back to school. im not gonna drive the car at all until then. but just incase im gonna do the head...

I ve had a problem with my car lately. It has been slowly smoking more and more. I thought it was running rich at first but as it smoked more i could tella definite color(sort of). The color smoke is a mix between blue and white. I think i may have blown a head gasket. It is also possible...

oh also check turboford.org they know where to get a lot of useful parts.

check: Motion-Dynamics.net Forced4 Texas Mustang just a couple of places with 2.3T parts

i thought that would be an easy way. thanks guys!
