    2005 GT MAF 5V Problem

    Car was running like shit after trans repair. Had to sit for two months due to family and health problems. Then, Found out both header gaskets were leaking. I could remove top nuts, but can’t work underneath car anymore. Take it to mechanic, he finishes gasket job. In doing so, he swaps upstream...

    Hack Mechanic

    I have to replace both header gaskets on my 05 with Edelbrock SC and E85. 3 years ago, I had motor rebuilt with forged rods and pistons. One shop did engine work, another pulled and reinstalled engine. Engine works great. I had many problems with the other shop. Mainly loose connections...

    Need help with wiring.

    While working on header gaskets, I removed the purge valve. The electrical connection for purge valve is the yellow in the photo. There is a red connection whose wires go into same harness as the purge valve. I have no memory of where this goes to. They are almost same length. Can anyone help...

    Header Gaskets

    I’m having one of those times where it’s one thing after another. Got my 05 back after having some transmission work done and the car was running like shit. It was throwing two codes, P0196 & P0198. Both banks running rich. Did a lot of searching, and things pointed to upstream O2 sensors...

    6r80 Swap Questions

    Due to me doing something I really shouldn’t have done. My 5r55s in my 2005 GT with E-Force SC has bought the farm. I do not want to go with a manual, so my options look like replacing with a beefed up 5r55s from Level10. Or, a 6r80 swap. A few questions about 6r80. I know that you can get a...

    Track day

    First track of the year yesterday . Three things stood out. First was there was only one novice group and two intermediate groups. Usually the opposite. Second, there was only one other Mustang besides my 2005, and that was a late model GT350. 35-40 cars total. Third, compared to last year, it...

    Oil Leak at Head Gasket

    After finding the oil leak coming out of the key way in the front of my he engine. I discovered a second one coming out of the rear outside corner of the passenger head gasket. It’s not a large leak, and it doesn’t seep done the side of the block. It drips onto the starter. Can just the...

    MSD SUCKS

    A couple of months ago I posted my problems I was having with misfires under load. I changed a bunch of stuff, updated some wiring, even sent Lito some data logs. As it turned out, the brand new MSD coil on plugs would work both on a bench test, and light acceleration to 40 mph. Once over 40...

    Finally Fixed

    The last couple of months I’ve been chasing electrical gremlins and misfires under load. I first fixed a bad ground to the MAF. Lito then helped establish that the MAF that came with the Edelbrock SC was still working correctly after I spliced in new pigtail. Today, I finally swapped out the...

    2005 Mustang GT. I’m still chasing electrical gremlins and I need some conformation. CEL has never come on. I fixed the bad grounds and checking connections. When I first had problems with a stubble under load. I found a stored P0340. I replaced sensor and it ran great for one day. Then stubble...

    No Ground at MAF

    I’ve been dealing with family and health issues and not driving my 2005 GT a lot. I took it out for a run and it stumbled at about 100mph under WOT. No active codes but I checked stored codes and it had P0340. PA alternator is working fine. Before this happened, I noticed the a/f was running...

    Starter question

    I jacked up car to start chasing down oil leak. At first, I thought it was a rear main seal leak. But then, on the passenger side only, the drivers side is completely dry, I found oil on the starter and all the way up on the back of the passenger side head. You can see the oil on the head here...

    5R55S Servo colors

    I’m looking into getting my transmission rebuilt and doing some research into available parts. I see that the servos are listed under different colors. Blue, orange, and pink. I know they mean different sizes, but it’s not clear if it’s the whole servo or the stem. I tried finding what each...

    Flat spot eliminators

    Anybody ever use these? Last week the weather was good and I was able to take the car for a ride. The tires had some serious flat spots from sitting a couple of weeks. The weather forecast is snow and cold for the foreseeable future, so I thought I’d give these a try. I had to buy two snap...

    O2 Sensor Problems

    Just when I thought I had everything done, the car started to intermittently not start. It would turn over normally, but not fire. If I let it sit for a couple of minutes, it would then start. Yesterday, I got a CEL and two codes P0060 & P2272. The first is a faulty Bank 2, Sensor 2 error code...

    Knock sensor question

    Is there a right and left side knock sensor? Would it make a difference if they are switched?

    That Depends on Your POV

    Saw this in traffic. I could tell he had aftermarket wheels, suspension, exhaust.

    What are these?

    Just out of curiosity. There are two. One on each side mounted in front of the engine by the valve covers.

    Interesting CAI Observation

    I finally got my 05 back together after engine rebuild. As you can see, I have a insulated cover over the CAI because it does not seal against the fiberglass Cervinis hood. When I took it out for a test drive on a 90° day, I noticed that the coolant, intercooler, oil, and IAT were all...

    Rear main seal repair sleeve on stock 05 motor

    Anybody ever seen/heard of a rear main seal repair sleeve being installed at the factory? My 05 had one on the crank when it was disassembled. I got the car with .9 miles on it in 05. It never had an oil leak.

    Detonation, or something else?

    Anybody ever see marks like this in the cylinder? They are in all 8 cylinders with this one being the worst. They are also in the same location in the cylinders, with them being what would be the outside of the cylinder when sitting in the car. They are more like discoloration than scores or...

    Connector Location

    Anybody know the location of connector C234 (14 pin) and C431 (8 pin)? I'm tracing down a problem with my fuel gauge and found reference to these in an old thread. Photo no longer available. Seaches come up empty.

    DOB Edelbrock Intercooler mod update

    I posted earlier that DOB was offering a mod to the Edelbrock E-Force supercharger intercooler. I e-mailed them and asked for details on the removal of the intercooler and was told "It's real easy. Just remove the bolts and pull." This past weekend I started working on the car and attempted...

    Intermittent fuel starvation.

    Three times this summer I had fuel starvation problems after going a year on E85 trouble free. Twice at the drag strip, one on a road course. All three while going straight and at about 100 mph. At first I suspected low fuel levels as the tracks are some distance from where I can get E85. I...
