Not too far from me.... When are you looking at doing it? Can't commit at this point, but I'll definitely try.I'm in Westminster. Highway 36 and 92nd ave.
Yeah, this weather is fucking ridiculous. How bad was it up there? It was basic blizzard conditions all day. Snowed like a mofo. I have no idea how much we got in Peyton, since it was so damned windy. We have drifts nearly 2' in some places!Hopefully this coming weekend. But not sure yet it will depend on the weather lol. We got hammered last night.
I get that code occasionally myself. Some have said it's related to a bad alternator, but mine tested out fine.Got the cams installed today. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. I made my on tool out of 8/32 all thread and a wooden toy guy from my kids train set lol. It sounds amazing!!! But I'm throwing a 0340 code for cam sensor bank one. It only happens after the car has been running then shut it off and start again.
You can look at the alternator the wrong way and mess it up, hehe.... especially the older ones.I might have to do that wont be till about April though cuz I have a wedding and honey moon coming up in three weeks. Not much time to do anything right now. I'm pretty sure I didn't skip a tooth though cuz I left the gears on the chain while I swapped the cams. I can't help but wonder if maybe it's the alternator because I arced the starter putting the headers in and a few guys said that could mess it up. That and with the low idle at first start. Hopefully not though.
If you haven't changed your heads, and your car is an 07, you have the old style heads. Even if you didn't, it's just a matter of getting the right adapter for the compression test kit (which you can rent from AutoZone/Advance/O'Reillys). The kits just don't come with either the 16mm (old style) or 18mm (new style) adapter.Ya I should do the test I'm almost 100% sure the drivers side is ok but I'm a little worried about the passenger side. What do you do to do the test? I'm pretty sure I have the old style because I would need new coils and plugs if I went to the ford heads.
Mine ran pretty well, considering. I took it on a test drive, and it built boost and everything. We actually went out to eat, and on the way back, it just didn't feel like it had the low-end oomph it should have. I started datalogging and noticed my fuel trims were all over the place. That's when I decided to do a compression test and found the cams were off.Also I went out and started it today. It seems as the check engine light would come on after every other start. Started it up it came on. Shut off cleared code ran fine. Shut it down and restart came on. Shut it down and cleared and start no code. I read a thread that said when you change cam sensors the car needs to run for about 20 min for ECM to readjust.
No. If you have a couple pairs of hands, you can loosen things up and get it in place. You'll need to know where and how much it's off, though.So if it is off does that mean taking the front cover of and retiming everything?
Sorry, I didn't see this post.You said you could mail it would you mind? I can PayPal you the money. I don't have the time to drive down right now. If not I will probably have to wait till April.I Do do want to come down and see you car though. When I first got my stang I really wanted to do a 5.4. I read all of your build thread and it gave me inspiration. I'm hoping after this racing season I will get to start my build. Gonna get a short block from ford they are only 1500.
Yes. Look for a big difference in short-term fuel trims (STFT) across both sides. Keep in mind, fuel trims are pretty wonky as the car is warming up. You should let it warm up completely, then check. Also, it is normal to have 3-5% with a cammed motor. You're looking for a steady 10% (or more) difference between the two banks.I probably ordered the adapter and thinking about just buying a compression tester, it will be good to have anyway. In the mean time could I do some data logging to see if anything is going on there?
