Maybe I'm off base big time, but I would check the brake pads for wear.

I live up here in New York where you can't even pass an inspection if so much as a little tear on your wiper blade. I bought my car from Michigan where the emissions laws are less. I'm supercharged and dyno tuned. The rear 02's were off and those pesky 3 monitors come up. I had to spend $600...

I kind of miss the random backfires i used to get with my old carburetor cars with their sloppy points and loose timing chains. I actually wish my mustang would backfire a few times at least.

I hooked the smoke up to the brake booster hose on my F150. Found a pinhole in the top of the fuel tank.

I don't know about the 3650, but on my old chevy manual trans (saginaw 4sp) when the synchros wear out, you had to use adjacent gears to spin up the shafts so the drive gears could engage. I mean, you could like force the gear change, but might get a grind. I agree with above also if the...

Well, I think those little black boxes with the wire coming out of them are not resistors and in fact are diodes. A diode is needed to suppress the inductive kickback voltage that occurs whenever an electrical current is suddenly interrupted. It can go way over the 12V battery voltage and...

I'm curious when it stalls, do the dash lights, radio, etc. still stay on? This can narrow it down to a bit. I do know on other vehicles that a faulty crankshaft position sensor will cause a stall. Also a failing MAF can cause a stall. I'm just trying to think of the components that would...

If the AC compressor clutch is engaging and disengaging in short bursts of like 1 second, the r134a is probably low. Idk about my 07 mustang, but I just fixed my 97 f150 ac. The AC on the F150 has a UV dye in it to find any leaks. Just use a UV light and look around all the connections and...

those connection points need a good cleaning and repair.

looks like battery or battery cables to me. when you try to start it and the dash goes dead.

i'm still convinced it was related to my vacuum leak on the intake o-ring. I did not change the tune or clean anything when i removed the supercharger for the new IAT sensor. I'm trying to imagine how these cars start. It used to be set the choke and high idle on the carb and it would step...

yes, the high rpm varied in, well, height, but on every start.

I have experienced this high rev start condition on my 07 GT with a Magnacharger. The car drove fine, but everytime you started it the rpms would go up to like 3k for several seconds and then come down. I figured it was just the supercharger tune but I was wrong. So one day the temp sensor...

I'm just curious about the guage and the stock O2 sensors. Are they compatible? I thought the factory 02's switched between a low voltage and a high voltage, not like linear output from a wideband. Sorry but I don't know how to solve your problem. The only time I ever experienced a...

One or more of my actuators are going out also. I have procrastinated in repairing because I hate working on the dash. If I baby mine, using lowest blower fan setting, I can get the air to come out where it is supposed to. After the blend doors move I crank up the blower speed and all is...
