    SUSPENSION REBUILD

    Also, be sure to have the car aligned well after all. After I did my suspension refresh (FRPP LCAs, Sway Bars, Eibach Springs, Koni struts, etc), caster was off and cradle had to be shifted a bit

    New to the S197 Community What’s Your Favorite Mod?

    Hot Rod cams. Just makes the driving experience so much more fun, even sitting still.

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    After an unexpected ferry ride down in Galveston that resulted in the car getting covered in salt water spray and hard water spots, spent the afternoon giving it a full detail and coating.

    Tick identification please

    Sounds like normal injector + VCT noise to me.

    Hanging idle in between shifts

    For the vid, it’s just showing how off throttle there is no RPM spike between shifts and clutch in. Cold start RPM adder is also a tune function, mostly added for emissions/catalyst heating. I played with this a bit during my own tuning to tame down cold starts to moderate success. If you...

    Hanging idle in between shifts

    If you have throttle flair when you clutch in, it’s likely a tuning related issue. There are air adder tables that are there to help soften OEM drivability and help smooth shifting - remember ford had to design these cars so everyone could drive them from the factory. Some tuners don’t...

    Cams for 4.6 06

    Cam swap can be done in an afternoon with beer breaks in between. My header swap was a nightmare compared to cams. Yeah you miss out on the boost, but something about revving up to 6800 RPM reliably and having that lumpy idle is just so dang fun. Plus, I would worry about bending a rod even...

    Cams for 4.6 06

    I would do the lash adjusters, followers and phasers for any cam swap, because you are right there anyways. Zero reason not to do it.

    Hanging idle in between shifts

    Second plug for Lito here. Guy is the 3v GOAT. Still answers my questions 2 years after my initial tuning sessions and the throttle tuning is absolutely second to none. Coming from a guy who also took the time/classes to tune my own car in between to learn more, Litos tune is still magical.

    Cams for 4.6 06

    Howard’s rattlers and Hot Rods will be 6 to one, half dozen to another. They are very similar and both retain VCT which is important for drivability and low end torque. The morher thumpers require phaser limiters so you lose some VCT functionality and low end torque. I have run two cars with...

    Hanging idle in between shifts

    RPM decay between shifts is a function of the tune - combination of dashpot tables and decel spark. A tune can make RPM decay more aggressive up to a point. These cars don’t have sport mode like the newer S197s do, but I believe that’s just a more aggressive advance track/traction control...

    Thoughts on a Miss fire

    to me this shows your car is monitoring for misfires. You could have a partial misfire causing hesitation. When I had something similar, it was due to aftermarket coils and/or an improperly seated COP boots The fuel pump DC being higher than normal just means the pump is working harder to...

    Thoughts on a Miss fire

    Parts stores are fine. Amazon and EBay are always suspect.

    Thoughts on a Miss fire

    And you are 100% sure the plugs are genuine MCs? Also, only use MC coils as aftermarket may give a partial misfire but not trigger a code, but something you can definitely feel.

    Thoughts on a Miss fire

    I don’t know if this has been covered already, but what brand coils and plugs are you using?
