Hi everyone. I'm looking to get some opinions and options. I have a 96 Cobra with over 130K miles. Engine runs strong, doesn't smoke nor knock. Seems to lose about a quart of oil every oil change (3K or 3 months) which seems normal for this milage. I do worry that the engine will go...

1996 Cobra 4v 4.6 What do you guys think? I'm really on a budget and I would like to rebuild the engine. But, I can't remove the orginal engine because I need to use the car - Can I use a GT Block (because finding a cobra block is soooo hard and when I do find them there sooo highly priced)...

well I just got my car dyno yesterday afternoon (Aug 10) and it pulled a 294HP and 284TQ - I don't have to many mods so I think I did fairly well - what do you guys think???? My next question is what to do next...Im not looking to go blown or juice only because my cobra has 131,000 miles on...

A friend of mine has a 88 GT with a T5 that he purchased recently. Seems like the T5 has worn out syncros - he can't shifts at high rpm. Can heavy diff gear oil help for a short period so that he can save for a new tranny??? I've heard somewhere that the heavy oil slows everything down when...

Hi everyone. Past month or so I have noticed my cobra hasn't been feeling right. Seems to be losing a lot of power. I'm getting beat by cameros and ricers. I beat them all before and now all of a sudden im the one in the back )-: Seem to make a lot of noise but not go anywhere. RPMS seem...

Hi Everyone. Wondering if anyone has a vac gauge on there DOHC Cobras and can tell me what it sits at when iding. Everytime I start the car it jumps up to 21 then drops to 14 almost instantly for like 3 to 4 mins and then back up to 21 again until the car is shut down. Only happens when...

My cobra orginal came with the C&L trueflow intake pipe (the pipe that goes from the throttle body to the mass air meter - after mass air meter there's a C&L adapter with a 7" K&N + heat shield). But I hear a lot about this JLT system. Is it worth the switch???

Hey everyone. Just wondering what everyone set there timing too (if you have a timing adjuster installed) I have mine set at 13 (it was set like this when I bought the car)

What do you guys think about this kit?? You think its worth it?? I was thinking since the cobra engine spins so much - I wouldn't mind losing some low end.

Hi Everyone. I did a search on this code (P0411) on the forums and came up with "secondary air injection system incorrect flow". Now some guys said to disconnect the wire from the air pump located in the passenger side fender - so I cleared the codes and disconnected the wire. Still no...

ok guys. thanks for the response on my last Thread. I took another reading with my actron scanner and this is what I got P0411 - Secondary air injection system incorrect P0171 - System too lean (Bank 1) P0174 - System too lean (Bank 2) There was a code for misfire but I didn't get that...

hi everyone... I'm hoping someone can help me with this code i got when I scanned my 96 4.6 4v cobra mustang. Cold Start Valve - I don't remember the code # but has anyone seen this before. I didn't even know the cobra engines had a cold start valve. I used a Actron (Sears) scanner $ 140.00...

Hi everyone... I'm just wondering what you guys are using - which brand and size for a N/A car. I have a 87mm Pro-m in mine and I seem to be getting the check engine light from it, I didn't jot down the code but the scanner reads that the MAF is giving the wrong data to the computer - the...

Hi everyone. I have recently purchased a 1996 Cobra Mustang with just over 127,000 miles. The car runs great, no problems!! But, the milage worries me as I've read that any major work on these cars means having to take the engine out of the car. The last ower was a friend of mine who had...

Hi everyone....hoping you guys can give me a little info on this. I have just purchased a 96 Cobra with just over 127,000 miles. When I start it up...the oil pressure jumps over 100psi (Auto meter gauge - stock gauge reads "A" on NORMAL) and when the car warms up it downs to 25psi (Stock...
