    Overheating Issue Suggestions?

    I'd think the water pump impeller being eroded would cause issues no matter what, but I also haven't raised the RPM at low speeds. Transmission is an automatic. Since it's been acting up, I haven't been driving it hard. I may just change the water pump as preemptive maintenance since it's the...

    Overheating Issue Suggestions?

    Hadn't thought of vinegar, that's an excellent idea. I have used filtered tap water and I do live in Limestone County so that could be something. Water was coming out clean though when I had a catch pan under it swapping the thermostat. Of course that doesn't mean that the guts don't have...

    Overheating Issue Suggestions?

    I have an overheating issue on my '06 GT that's got me stumped. Went for a 150+ mile drive a couple weeks ago. Didn't notice any issues (wasn't looking either so who knows) until I was on my way back after the car had been sitting an hour or so. When I got to highway speed, 70-80MPH...

    Throttle stuck issue

    So when I said the throttle motor was working, I may have been incorrect. I checked the motor with it disconnected from the TB and watched it spin one way then back the other when I turned the key on. Had the wife look at the throttle blades when I turned the key on and she said they barely...

    Throttle stuck issue

    Also did a hard reset with the battery and still does the same.

    Throttle stuck issue

    Getting codes P1000, P2104 & P2112. I plan on doing a point to point, once I find that schematic again, but since I'm seeing the input to the PCM change on FORScan, I doubt I'll see a wire issue. I really hope I'm wrong about that and find something corroded or hanging on by one strand...

    Throttle stuck issue

    Got a strange one on my '06. Getting throttle stuck closed error and it goes into limp mode. This all started while driving. Dealership said they couldn't do anything for me and charged $140 to find the problems I told them about when I dropped it off. Just hooked up FORScan and I'm getting...

    Suspension issue

    My tires wore evenly and alignment is good. If it were alignment I figure it would pull one way, not alternate.

    Suspension issue

    A little background info first. UPR panhard rod ends had wore to where there was some play, enough to hear and feel when hitting bumps. Replaced those and just put a new set of tires on since old ones were about out of tread. I've got the Ford strut mounts from taking them in on the TSB...

    Some Avic Z1 Help

    Had the Shaker 500. Thought about tying it to the reverse light but wanted to turn it on without being in reverse. The Pioneer head unit has an input wire for reverse but by the time I got that far, I didn't feel like hunting for where to tie the wire to, or running it to the trunk. Though...

    Some Avic Z1 Help

    Perfect timing for me to use search as I had the same question about my Pioneer AVH-P3300BT installation. Thought I could live with the bright screen but it gets annoying. Any idea if there's a 12V source already in the trunk that comes on with ignition? Couldn't find one and I'm wanting my...

    Exhaust issue

    OK, finally got off my butt and installed the long tubes on my car. While installing them I naturally had to pull the cats and X pipe off. When I looked into the left side cat, there is nothing in it anymore and I know there was something when I installed them. The cats are SLP. What I'm...

    what muffler??

    SLP loudmouth. So quiet you can sneak up on a deer. If it's deaf, or dead.

    Alternator?

    Everywhere I called said they could order it and it'd be there in 3-4 days, except Lone Star Ford that had it on hand and was 1/4 mile away. Had them do it because I thought they'd get to it Sat (got there too late for that) and because I killed the battery and didn't have a good way to charge...

    vibration while braking....

    Have the rotors turned so it don't drive you nuts and shop for another set. My fronts were the worse and I noticed a huge difference just changing them. Most of the braking is done by the fronts. Some of the EBay ones are actually decent.

    P0601? Wtf? Lol? Fml...

    One other thing you might do is the BBK TB fine tuning. I'm on my phone so it's a PitA to link to it but it's on their site. Basically you calibrate the TB so the position feedback signal is correct.

    Alternator?

    $300+ would be nice right about now, had mine installed by Ford plus the tow charge. Rebuilding one might not be a bad idea but I'll still buy one so my car isn't sitting up and so I'll have a spare in case of problems. I don't like being stuck and I got stuck when it went out Sat. For some...

    P0601? Wtf? Lol? Fml...

    TB. I'll bet you're running a little lean. Mine did that and I changed the tune for more fuel. Only did it after WOT but didn't give that code I don't think. I got throttle stuck open and stuck closed at the track.

    vibration while braking....

    Are they factory rotors with better than factory pads? When I replaced the pads on my car and machined the rotors, it didn't take long for them to warp. I went with better than factory replacements and my guess is they worked better and generated more heat than the factory rotors could handle...

    Alternator?

    Long story short, alt went out in my car, picking it up today from dealership that was only/closest place I could find to get replacement at a steal - as in them stealing the money from my wallet. I am planning on getting a better one than the Ford alt that's been put in it but would like...

    Modular Depot... sucks?

    Everything about the wiring and plumbing job on that pic screams "amateur". Covering with wire loom ain't fixing that. It really looks like someone had no clue what they were doing, was a test setup they'd be removing later or really just didn't give a shit.

    OK, simple fix I didn't know about. That worked but I feel like my IQ dropped a little today.

    Owner manual? That would require reading! I didn't even think something like that would be in there. Going to try it now, thanks.

    OK, so this isn't that technical but I've got an issue. Passenger side window will come down a little when I open the door like it should but it won't go back up when the door is closed. I figure it's not seeing the door closed switch but before I take the door apart does anyone have an idea...

    steeda strut mounts?

    Actually they're junk. You should sell them to me for a discount. I know someone that has them and they said the noise is less than the stock units. I'm looking at replacing mine with this since I did the warranty recall deal and it's making noise again.
