    UNSOLVABLE 3V problem ive been dealing with

    Did you find the fix? If not maybe the VVT plugs are not making a good connection.

    Constant Codes coming back P0104, P0171, P0174

    Dino knows his stuff I agree with possible vacuum leak.

    MAF and Fuel Trims Wisdom Needed

    Thanks GlassTop09 just saw your reply. What do you think these 4.6 3 valve engines make for horsepower if it's got long tube headers, no catalytic converters, and cold air intake with Dyno tune? I was told my car was tuned when I bought it ( no check engine light with rear O2's turned off, no...

    MAF and Fuel Trims Wisdom Needed

    Yes I did it was the Hitachi MAF. These engines are super sensitive to all values related to air and it wanted the motorcraft MAF. Now my LTFT values are -10% roughly on both banks and runs great. The Hitachi MAF lasted about two weeks before my car started backfiring/missing at idle. Swapped...

    UNSOLVABLE 3V problem ive been dealing with

    Also does your engine have the updated cam followers and hydraulic lash adjusters with the smaller oiling holes?

    UNSOLVABLE 3V problem ive been dealing with

    Sup eeston you got a complex problem going on. These engines rattle and tick but pretty tough too. Oil pressure is key here it's gotta be. Unplugging the vvt sensor changed the pressure delivered to the phaser right? If there is an oil blockage in the vvt solenoid area, when the ECM signals more...

    Missing on cylinder 1

    That intake is nice it makes the 281 look huge ha. Possibly corrosion in the sockets for fuel injector plug I don't know how water tight that mod is. Make sure your ground wires have solid metal to metal contact. If you have an extraction tool for the injector plug wires you can pop them out and...

    2006 GT- How is ambient air temperature measured?

    Thanks for the help it's much appreciated. IAT is built into MAF on these but ambient air temperature is a bit tougher to figure out. That diagram is exactly what I needed. If I look up ambient air temperature sensor for this car it will actually show that there is one! Some mustang years do and...

    2006 GT- How is ambient air temperature measured?

    Thanks Pentalab. It's looking like I'm going to have to buy a Haynes manual so I can reference some wiring diagrams to confirm that my 06 has a sensor or doesn't. I reference my live data on my scan tool and it definitely doesn't update instantly. I found a post that talked about the ECM...

    2006 GT- How is ambient air temperature measured?

    I have torn the front of my car apart looking for an ambient air temperature sensor and have not found it. I have traced all wiring at the front end. Does the ECM use a table and not a sensor?

    Sup Chris1 welcome. I just recently joined too and people are really helpful/knowledgeable.

    New guy from Florida

    Welcome to the club. I have BMR lowering springs on my 06 GT (1.5" lower all around) and I'd say you probably have the same.

    2009 4.6 rough idle and white smoke

    Maybe it's an intermittent connection at the camshaft position sensor for that bank. That would be easy to check

    Missing on cylinder 1

    Sup 07Boss so you have swapped coil packs, got a fresh spark plug, and verified fuel injector is working. I would suggest taking a look under the valve cover and see if there is excessive play at the 3 roller followers for cylinder #1.

    Battery light?

    If that is the correct plug you could backstick pin 1 w/multimeter set to DC- if there is voltage then ECM is showing dummy light I believe. I think it's worth a shot.

    2009 4.6 rough idle and white smoke

    I just looked up those codes and P0022 is bank over retarded (unfortunately timing may have been set incorrectly on that bank). P2020 is dealing with IMRC (intake manifold runner control) so if you want take a look at the back of the intake manifold where IMRC rods/links connect and make sure...

    2009 4.6 rough idle and white smoke

    Is it thick lingering white smoke or is the smoke visible and dissipates quickly? I have an 06 w/160,000 miles w/LT headers no cats and straight piped and I get a little white smoke even in warm weather. My engine DRINKS oil from driver's side PCV hose. I have also recently done the not so fun...

    AAT Sensor Location and Fuel Tables Wisdom Needed

    I still have charge motion control plates that I can hear moving sometimes they are so clanky and I can hear air being sucked into them where the rod for the plates sticks out at the attach point on the back.

    AAT Sensor Location and Fuel Tables Wisdom Needed

    Agreed I'm getting an oil catch can for driver's side. I've considered removing PCV system but does that come w/risk of contaminating oil w/gas from the combustion mix that leaks past piston rings? I don't know how much of an effect that change would make.

    AAT Sensor Location and Fuel Tables Wisdom Needed

    Thanks Dino. I just recently did a timing job on my mustang at 160,000 miles and it runs great but man that was a job. I also replaced hydraulic lash adjusters and roller followers with the updated design that has smaller oiling holes to help the oiling system. My engine DRINKS oil through the...

    60 Year Anniversary

    Mine's a 2006 GT 5 speed (41st anniversary ha). 60 years is an accomplishment and the mustang name is patriotic.

    AAT Sensor Location and Fuel Tables Wisdom Needed

    Does an IAT of 115° at operating temp at idle sound right?

    New member need help

    I say my engine is rich because commanded lambda in OL is .85-.98 while the fuel trims are these values (I have a Dyno tune so idle for me will be different than idle for you) but lean codes (+fuels trims) could be fuel, air intake/vacuum or lack of it, and spark I don't know for sure but I...
