    09-10 cmcv removal

    I'm curious what your results were. I lost 2 MPG in city an gained 2 tenth of a second on my rolling start test strip (got similar results to a BMW 335i R6 bi-turbo)

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

    Comfort: the noise insulation of the roof, quarter panels, trunk and doors. Nobody needs air and tire noise. I wish I would have done this in week one. Handling: Swaybars from the 2014 and LCA from J&M with the PU heim joints. Aerodynamic: Flat front under tray, less lift and noise on/off the...

    Tick identification please

    You hear normal engine noises more pronounced through the open breather?

    I hope that they made the right diagnosis. Good luck, all the best

    Hanging idle in between shifts

    I see. I can drive in the same way, but have to release the pedal fully a tenth of a second before pressing the clutch.

    Hanging idle in between shifts

    Well, the stock "tune" configuration has the same and the newer stock S550 also. My guess Ford focused on automatic transmission cars much more than on manual with driving. In automatic cars there is no need to release the pedal before shifting. And in automatic cars there is no sudden drop of...

    Hanging idle in between shifts

    That is what I don't understand. If I release the pedal, the TB should close and the engine should not rev up. None of my other cars, who have all electronic TBs, have this.

    Hanging idle in between shifts

    Is the car new to you? It has a strange way of changing gears. If you're used to drive other manual transmission cars you usually get off the pedal and press the clutch simultaneously but not with this car. The car revs up if you do it this way, I release the pedal first completely and press the...

    Electrical issues with my 2006 mustang GT

    They are from WAI Global China Is it true that the automatic cars do not have a clutch pulley?

    Should I get a tune?

    I try to conclude: If I change the ignition timing to lower values, I get a higher cylinder pressure but also shift the pressure maximum closer to TDC and do not have a benefit of it. But, if I can close the intake valve later and therefore have a higher cylinder filling, I also have a higher...

    Manual Trans drain refill 2012 v6

    Throw your statins away ;) Worst manual I ever had was/is a Mercedes manual transmission. No way to fast shift, when it is freezing impossible to get into 2nd, the grease on the splines gets pushed away when hot and the pedal feel is like squeezing a rubber boat and from 1st to 2nd it feels...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Off topic: MDs like to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, because they can generate lots of money with a hand surgery. Often it is a thoracic outlet syndrome which can be treated by physiotherapy and simple shoulder workout instead. Ask me how I know ;)

    Confirming part numbers for bumper assembly+windshield moulding fix on 2011 mustang gt

    I look into the Ford Service Manual, parts of the part number is often there and then I go to tascaparts for the full number.

    Parking brake cable... different ??

    Take a look at https://www.bowdenzug24.com. I would measure the cable size and DIY. I just did similar for my vintage Fichtenmoped ;) (German slang for two stroke chain saw, spruce scooter)

    Driveshaft - transmission - u-joint angle ?

    On page one, the picture with the red circles. The left has a deeper U shaped form. On the flat type I could push the shaft 5 mm up without any resistance from the rubber. My guess is that this was a wrong production?

    Should I get a tune?

    So, the ignition angle @max power is a function of compression ratio and IAT. E.g. at 9.5:1 you need 87 and 91 at 10.5:1 When you use 91 at 9.5:1 you have more room for higher IAT and sudden load variation ? BTW: I do not like the "race" tunes, way too aggressive (and not linear) throttle...

    Should I get a tune?

    I think 31 means 31 degree before TDC, so the compression is lower than at 26 when the spark comes? PS: found diagram

    Should I get a tune?

    That I don't understand. It is still NA so no change in compression, if you ignite earlier this is independent from the octane number. Does the 91/93 burns slower? Or, with 91 you can lower the safety margin and the possible ignition angle is also 31 with 87?

    Should I get a tune?

    No, because your Vodka has already more water than 4% inside. And, the EtOH/H2O phase doesn't sink to the ground, the fuel just gets cloudy.

    Should I get a tune?

    I have a question to the people who can tune: What is the difference between a 91 and 93 octane tune, when our 4.6 was designed for 87?

    Should I get a tune?

    For my small engines and emergency power generator I use 98, which is often ethanol free here in Germany. A good test is to fill 10 ml in a measuring cylinder, add 1 ml water and mix. The water phase will get out the ethanol compartment. Some video I found

    Should I get a tune?

    Without ethanol you would have not water in the fuel in the first place. Had the wrong number in my mind, phase separation starts at 0.5% water content (just looked into my documentation). Every time you handle the fuel, water from the air will be absorbed.

    Driveshaft - transmission - u-joint angle ?

    No, not at all. The bearing is totally quite and the rubber has no cracks. The Ford spec for the angle is between 1 and 3 degree, I had 2.8 and now 2.3 which means less vibration will be induced. The problem is, that there are two different versions out there, one with a more flat upper metal...

    Driveshaft - transmission - u-joint angle ?

    I finally fixed it. The driveshaft is quiet at Autobahn speed. I reversed the spacers leading to 0.5 degree lower U-joint angle and added a 3 mm rubber stripe in the U (green mark) to take out the slag in the rubber.
