    Miss not throwing codes.

    2005 GT driver side not firing properly

    my knowledge with electrical is basic at best , i can rewire hv to lv and vis versa , (easy anywho) use a multimeter , . my soldering skills are awesome due to when i was fixed on 700 size rc helis, and doing 3d tricks with them . but when it comes to troubleshooting im kind of weak AF lol

    Miss not throwing codes.

    if i were you id get it fixed by replacing all the cop with ford ones , (unless you have a good coil tester. but they are prolly starting to go out ) and replace all the spark plugs, that will give you the best choice for success ,and if it still does it (which im pretty sure it will), you...

    2005 GT driver side not firing properly

    one thing i will note here , when testing to try to figure out what ones were bad, i tested resistance.. funny is they all checked out. but clearly there was an issue with at least one. now that said, maybe if i would have written each one (resistance ) down since new, maybe i could see a...

    Boost Leak around MAF.

    another thing to test is the welds around the maf,, if you got a pinhole crack in one ,, that will cause it .,. i only say that because it should seal with what you've done , unless the studs are too big and not letting the gasket compress , but it still looked like it was.. that is of...

    2005 GT driver side not firing properly

    there is no way id trust that. i just got a brand new ford oem set of cop from summit racing and they are stil $240 ish. these are fake no doubt, clones these will cause problems i bought two different cop sets ,, (one from amazon , the other from AM ,,) both sets had a bad cop from the...

    2005 GT driver side not firing properly

    the cop cause soooooooo many issues for people,, infact when you have a bog and or stutter you almost have to replace both and or get a cop tester and a spark plug tester to rule out good ones to only buy the bad ones,, but they are so expensive by themselves that unless you only need to...

    Cam phaser reluctor tone ring popped off the phaser

    i think each one is slightly diffrent so you can find one that fits in the phaser corectly? my kit only came with two,, (different kind of kit), and it said to find where it fits tightest and press it into place? and also said only one needed per phaser

    2005 GT driver side not firing properly

    yea i did the timing like 3 times now on these 3v,, very very easy.. but a few things to note here.. ** are they using fords timing kit ? or a knock off? ** if the phaser trigger arms get bent during the install ,then the cam sensor will trip a code saying the bank is outta time, *** the cams...

    Can't get into gear

    tbh ,, anytime you do anything with the headers or couplers,, in the exhaust, its a given you will most likely fight them bolts and nuts out all the time, unless its really really clean , or never drove in a garage

    Who has experience with doing a gear swap?

    its getting everything apart thats the pain, the measurements arent hard and you gotta pay attention . there is room for error , im a meathead, i did it no problem, (but im very mechanically inclined ) first time and quiet as a ghost , and still no problems ive heard of people...

    Can't get into gear

    yea im pretty sure lmr or one of them company's has videos on how to do things, and in one of them it shows puling the trans on the lift ,, i didnt see any issues , you never do in the videos but they didnt mention having problems like you have the most ive heard was issues trying to...

    Can't get into gear

    time consuming way would be to pull the engine out to do it instead and also , i cannot say enough how much a remote clutch line res has helped to make the clutch stay consistent, and my brakes not fade,, this is the one i got, ) (yes it works with our years too , as the 2010 is the same...

    Can't get into gear

    i disagree, with 4 , 6ton jack stands , and a trans jack , you disconcert the 02 sensors , drop the driveshaft . unplug the one harness connector remove all but 2 bolts to bellhousing, place trans jack, remove trans brace mount secure trans to jack, unbolt the two bellhousing...

    Need a tuner in prep for a lito tune.

    this should be mandatory, the stock gearing with the tr3650 ratio , puts the 3v at a bad spot right after third gear in the rpm range.. boosted the stock gearing prolly does awesome , but without it , its a slug and i think thats why they got a bad rap,, go racing , shift , shift ,then...

    Clutch ..time for a change ?

    yea i just used a axle socket and used the old (rear seal) one as a "buffer" on the new one while driving it in,, i always did it like that and never had issues ,.
