any internal combustion car is going to be a disappointment after owning a Tesla S Plaid Nothing with wheels ( and no wings, slats or ailerons) accelerates like an EV, and the top of the food chain without going into hyper cars is the Plaid S And as far as "sports" or performance cars go, you...

The computer in the car is set to 32 PSI optimum pressure on my GT, and the system is designed to warn if the pressure falls 2 PSI BELOW the setting. The sensors themselves just transmit data, the car does the rest. Why do you want to reset them? Are you running lower pressure than...

So what is the dealer saying now that Ford is saying mid October ( notice Ford did not say 2025, it is probably going to be 2027)

Water intrusion is an issue especially when these sub miniature connectors are involved because the slightest bit of corrosion drives the modules nuts, and when it comes to liability insurance appraisers like myself will do constructive total losses on water damaged vehicles ( sunroof drains...

hey @LevittownFordParts you are being paged! read up a couple of posts for why

Once they get the tune issue resolved, Ford Performance, now "Ford Racing" will probably offer the Whipple again with A Ford approved tune. It will be interesting to see if the new tune is as stout as the original one with a claimed 804 HP on a GT without active exhaust. The Ford tune has to...

Actually you can use a Ph strip to check the condition of your coolant, as well as a regular tester that will tell you freezing point by way of specific gravity If you think there is a blown head gasket there are strips and test chemicals that will indicate the presence of hydrocarbons in the...

true, but Ford says full synthetic in the gen4 Coyote motors in the 7th gen Mustangs, so you'd figure their algorithm would be written for that.

My C4 would chop the throttle if it detected wheel spin unless the ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation) was turned off. Very unsettling when you are trying to get into traffic with a small window of opportunity and the car falls on its face. The Mustang will do the same thing unless you either...

I had an OTA done on 8/25, 2 weeks after the oil was changed, now 2 weeks later with the car not being started I am down to 91% Ford's oil life calculations that drop it 8% month for age would not be right if mine was reset on 8/25 It would be right if I drove the car about 40 miles and let it...

hell that amount of variance can be caused by temperature variations. Same thing with oil, and until recently only Harley marked their dipsticks for oil level hot and oil level cold to account for variations in volume due to temperature. Now you know why tires pressures are expressed as read...

I think I mentioned that in one of my posts. Same thing with wheel bearings, the ones that use a magnet for the ABS speed sensor has to be on the inside of the hub, very easy to put it wrong. Then you have to press it out without destroying the bearing.

something like that

PID is parimeter ID, simply it is looking for a specific sensor data in real time A pro level scanner will give you the expected range and graph the data showing you what is going on For the 20 minutes it would take to put the stock tubes back on, with the filters and sensors I'd be looking to...

well if it is tripping a code as soon as you start the car something is not seeing data, time to plug into it with a good diagnostic scanner and read the PID for that sensor Are the filters oiled? If so that will drive a MAF sensor nutty Any vacuum leak from a loose clamp at the the throttle...

it deducts life for age, my car went about 80 miles after changing the oil and got parked, that was a month ago and my oil life is already down to 91% When I parked the car before that, in April the oil had 3100 miles on it and it was at 20%, by early August it was 4%, by the second week in...

a cold air intake alone will not toss a code, you did something else. MAF sensor plugged in? You did swap it over right? Used the gaskets so no air leaks? tubes back on the intake tubes and made sure they are seated and the clips are holding them in place what code are you getting? P0101?

Between FMVSS 180 in the US, and EU requirements, that sometimes don't agree which is why EU cars have different mirrors than US cars, the amount of sh*t that car makers are required to have and in a certain way is mind boggling. A while back there was an euro import that had to recall all the...

at this point in my career, I am a firm believer in a good PDR person over a traditional repair If the PDR guy can't get the dent out, then your other option is traditional body work If you spend enough time around PDR guys, it is amazing whet they can do. I have had to handle claims on hail...

In Massachusetts they have to have your signed permission to do it.
