No, it stays lean ALL the time. I don't think i've been running lean for the last 25K miles tho.

...at least you got a loaner...

Well, it's installed, but i don't think tis working properly. It reads completely lean all the time. I don't understand it.

Well, first i would like to say, Damn, my car sounds good. Also, my a/f gauge is a little funky. It's reading all the way lean. did i hook it to teh wrong wire on the O2 sensor? (none of them were labeled) There waere 2 white, one black, and one grey. I'm spliced into the grey. I seriosuly oubt that i am running that lean. Or could i really be running liek taht cuz teh ECU is freaking out due to the new pipes? And, BTW, i was on a pretty decent cruise tonight, and my check enging light hasn't come on once. Any input on the funky gauge?

Yeah they're not too bad but as with any job, doing it right will take some time. It wires into O2 sensor, then you just run the wires into the cabin and mount the gauge. Be ready for pretty blinking lights smile.gifsmile.gif

Those things look so cool. Lol..flashy...

Holy god....I have 4 oxygen sensors.

I am doing this as i type, so: I am installing an a/f ratio gauge. Somebody told me earlier that a friend spliced i into teh signal wire right at the ecu. That would be nice, EXCEPT as i look at the ecu, there are about 200 wires running into teh damn thing!

Does anyone here have a ford service manual that tells me which cable to splice into? Comon, black bird, this is usually where you shine . Also, does anyone know how to reset my ECU? I am going to need to do it after i put on my new O/R x-pipe to turn the check engine light off.

Thanks guys.

Whats an EGT gauge? Too late, my bro already got me the A/F gauge. White face. Matches my lovely gauges.

Ford wiring can differ from day to day (at least that is what I've heard). Best thing to do is to actually test the wire with their a multimeter or a test light. You can test the 12 volt source, and the accessory light (turn the key on), just find a valid ground.

I've got a brand new multimeter. Or, i guess you could just start touching the wires together. If it sparks when the car is off, then there is your constant 12V+

Well, doesn't matter if it's a waste of money, because i didn't buy it. And no, I'm not planning on staying N/A.

I'm expecting an Air fuel ratio gauge and pod from santa. Does anyone know if it is going to be a pain in my ass to install in my Stang? Or will it come with directions?

Actually, they don't need probably cause to search a car. If they pull you over, they can do it. I forget what the law or whatever is called, but in my senior year of HS the P-town police chief cam in and talked to us about ilegal search and seizures and rights and all that mumbo jumbo. If it is within arms reach,where you could stash something quick, they can search it. I am also familiar with pleading the 5th, but what are the 4th and 6th amendments?

That is exactly what i needed. Thanks alot

Oh, i forgot to ask, how do you guys and gals think some black or dark grey rims would look on a black 00 Stang with a black rag top? It sounds like it could be cool, but I'm a little weary of the black on black action, not sure if it would look right.

I'm casually browsing for new rims for the stang. I'm looking at maybe 18x9's or 17x9's. Does anyone here know how to do the tire witdh calculations? All i know is that a 245/45/17 is 8 inches wide.

You don't have to pull over for an unmarked car. Unless the car says "police" or "sheriff" or some such thing with syren, keep on crusin. Not sure about the black lincolns with the spot light and sheriff LPs tho.

I know you aren't supposed to pull over for an unmarked car. But how Do you nkow if it's an unmarked car or just joe shmoe's car?

Make sure the nos tank is in. Make for a nice "Fast and the furious" style explosion. oh.. and run like hell.

Actually, don't take the first exit. That is what most officers are trained to expect that.(a "friendly" lady sheriff told me when she was doing paperwrk on my dad's motorcycle wreck, and my next door neighbor is a cop.)Take the second or third exit. And since you are going fast enough to run anyway, that shouldn't take too long. BE CAREFUL. If you wreck your car, it is a sure bet that you'll get arrested. A quick trip to the emergiency room, then you get a shiny pair of bracelets. Also, if there is a chance that he has your plate #, pull over. the chase is already over. And remember, cop cars DO HAVE CAMERAS.

 

BTW, my cop neighbor (who street races way more than i do) gives most people to 80mph in a 65.

Duct Tape Brandon. Fixes everything. Even those pesky vibrations. Worked for them: http://www.anti-rice.com/rice5/ducttaperacer.jpg

lol, well there you have it ranger man.

You seriosuly put grease on your break rotors??? Geeze....

Ok wait, what about a timing adjuster? And blackbird, you said its bulit into my ecu? How do i adjust it?

I was wondering that myself. Maybe she's tired of the turbo lag? But i think it would be easier to find a twin turbo system for that car. Twin turbo would probablly get you more power than a supercharger anyway.

Hey, where can I dyno my car? I've never dynoed it before and i'm curious to see what kind of output I'm producing. Granted that for now I only have my flowmasters and cold air intake, but those should show an improvement nonetheless.
