    Has anyone sent off their ABS unit for repar?

    The electronic part of the ABS module separates from the hydraulic part. You leave the hydraulic part connected and just brake as normal (like a car with no ABS.. well you should always be driving carefully!) . Even though the electronic part was only out for a few days getting repaired, I...

    Has anyone sent off their ABS unit for repar?

    Warning light in the dashboard & I believe we pulled codes using FORSCAN (Android app for scanning ford-specific modules) & a bluetooth OBD2 dongle. I don't remember the exact codes but we ruled out wheel sensors. The ABS electronic module can be removed from the hydraulics without...

    Looking for intake manifold porting/machining info, Single Port only

    Hey thanks for clicking. Like the title says I'm trying to find examples or information on modifying the stock single port (1996) 3.8 intake manifold to move tuning peak up a little. I know I'm just a name on the internet and that doesn't mean anything - for context I've been turning wrenches...

    Thoughts on Diablosport I2 and where to get an email tune?

    I finally bought a Diablosport tuner, mostly because I'm getting ready to change gears but other than the ratio change it wouldn't suck to get a little more out of the engine while I'm at it... So with a tank full of 91 octane, I loaded the 91 octane canned diablo tune into the car and...

    1997 V6 Automatic Mustang Passenger Side Exhaust Manifold Replacement

    Job's pretty easy. The oil dipstick was a PITA when I was replacing the factory manifolds with shorty headers, but if you're just putting a replacement pass. side manifold on you won't even have to concern yourself with that.

    All Factory Ford stereo Concerns

    I know the question above was asked in 2013 but I'll answer it in case somebody else needs to know: you need to get a 12v-5v step down converter for your remote power-on lead. Aftermarket head unit is going to put out 12v on that (blue) trigger wire and the Mach amps want a 5v signal...

    Has anyone sent off their ABS unit for repar?

    I know this is an old post, but in case anyone still reads it: Yes, sent away the ABS controller to a company advertising on Ebay, I think it went to City of Industry, California (?) and was back to us in Arizona less than a week later. It has worked trouble free since then, about 2...

    Comparing OEM manifolds to Pacesetter shorty headers - Pics inside

    If this was my car I'd probably have craigslisted in an IRS by now which would necessitate a tuner - being the wife's car is a different story. Actually I wish there was a car club that offered affordable performance driving lessons around here so my wife and I could go. Everyone can...

    Comparing OEM manifolds to Pacesetter shorty headers - Pics inside

    The install sheet said there would be some harmless odor as the "storage oil" burned off... maybe at some point they were sprayed down with a light oil rather than painted and they never changed the instruction sheet when they changed that process to paint. Not a big deal in any case...

    Comparing OEM manifolds to Pacesetter shorty headers - Pics inside

    Oh and the EGR tube? Super easy. One of the easiest parts of the job, second only behind removing/reinstalling the air intake tube.

    Comparing OEM manifolds to Pacesetter shorty headers - Pics inside

    I had a few (not related to car) setbacks that prevented me from finishing until now but after tightening the last bits up, taking a very long shower and getting dressed I went out and started the car up, no major leaks but I think there is a tiny leak on the driver side. Tomorrow after...

    Comparing OEM manifolds to Pacesetter shorty headers - Pics inside

    Hello - My wife has a 2002 V6 and it's had the tick since she bought it; I finally got tired of hearing it (she doesn't care.. :( ) and bought Pacesetter headers to attempt to resolve the problem. At $129 they're less expensive than a pair of replacement OEM's and only a little more $...
