::dead horse:: I went at it as soon as I got home from work today, fixed the coolant sensor, and put new rubber hoses on everything in the pcv system. I was about ready to take the car for a ride to see if she was fixed and started checking fluids before I went on my way. I pulled the rad...

My bad on the lbs instead of hg, I've fixed it to avoid further confusion. as for the sensor it is the one on the bottom of the thermostat housing. I did re-time the car using the procedure I found on here. Jumper wire between 2 of the terminals in the diagnostic box...same ones for check engine...

Hey all, I got my car running after the cam sensor went out. First and foremost I broke one of the coolant sensors on the outside of the thermostat housing. Since I got the car running again its really hard to start when cold and usually requires to be cranked twice before it will idle. While...

Over a week ago I was timing the car and had the cover off the CPS and got a wire from the o2 sensor caught in there. The wire was fine, the EFI fuse blew replaced it and car ran fine. I drove it a few times shutting it off and starting it up a few times. I shut the car off in front of my house...

Another update: car keeps popping the EFI fuse but only happens at random when I shut the car off the tach won't move the next time I try to crank it up. The timing cover was decked with the block. I did re-use the oil pump but I checked it per. specs outlined in the tsrm with the help of my...

Haven't updated in a while mostly due to lack of feedback. The break in period is about over. Recently I've installed the boost and A/F ratio gauge a boost controller and a turbo timer. I didn't realize how useless a narrow band gauge was. I set the boost at 10 psi and now the car seems...

I was kind of wanting to 5 speed swap it anyway. Maybe I can use this as an excuse to build up the auto instead....

Subscribed. I'm looking forward to this one.

I've had a weird problem with my transmission since I've had the car. The transmission shifts find under normal accerlation. If I go WOT from a stop the car will not shift out of first. However as I found out last night if I take off normally until it shifts from first to second then put the...

Been a while since I updated. I found and fixed all the coolant leaks, and now have about 100 miles on the motor since rebuild. I found a boost leak where the previous owner cut a hole in the stock intercooler plastic pipe and jb welded a blow off valve in. A co-worker made me a new pipe out of...

Small update: I timed the car to what I thought was 10 degrees but it still has a hesitation. I found 3 coolant leaks and replaced rubber lines and replaced worn out clamps with worm drive clamps. The battery keeps going dead so I thought maybe the battery was bad even though it sat on my...

Another mustang guy. I have a 70 and a 98 though. good luck with the build!

well made a lot of progress and I was waiting until it was running to post an update. I put the motor in the weekend before last then worked on it a little after work each day and finished it up last weekend. I couldn't get the car to start. I had fuel I had spark but she wouldn't fire up. I...

I don't remember taking out the abs ecu. Is it possible I don't have one? I wonder why she won't start then... I guess I'll pick up some gas on the way home and dump that in. Start with the obvious.

what are your plans for the 2j? turbo or staying na?
