My car likes to buck when I coast in gear or if i am very light on the throttle. It seems to buck worse if i am coasting down a hill as opposed to on flat ground. I've ran codes and got nothing. I've checked the plugs and they all look good except #4 was more grey or whiteish than light brown...

Can i use upgraded valve springs with the stock cam? The reason i ask is i'm taking the trickflow cam out of my car and putting the stock cam back in. The crane spring kit i used is good for up to 560ish lift if that matters.

My distributor went bad and i need a new one. I was just gonna get the cardone brand remanufactured one from autozone for $100 but i've heard some bad things about them. I can get the oe part from tousley ford for $250. I'm leaning towards the ford part cause of all the negative things i've...

I've been getting a check engine light lately but the car has been running normal except the fuel pump taking a few cycles to prime every once in a while. I ran the codes and all i got were some smog pump codes because mine is deleted. I also got a code for the egr #332. While i was driving the...

I've decided after playing with the trial version of BE and EEC analyzer and doing a lot of reading to give the moates qh a shot. I have a few questions regarding other things i may need. So far my list consists of: -The Moates QH -Innovate LC1 wideband -Binary Editor -EEC analyzer Is...

My car has such an inconsistent idle. On a cold start up it will surge for about a minute until it idles normal, if i didn't keep hitting the gas when the rpms drop down real low it would die. It also will not idle on a warm start up, like if i get gas or run into a store for a minute i have to...

So i took my car to a reputable tuner in my area and he says he can't tune my car perfectly because it burns too much oil. I'm fine with lower hp numbers but the driveability of the car sucks. It bucks and hesitates at low rpms and the idle surges a little without the a/c on but when i turn on...

The setup is stock headers mac o/r h, with bassani bx mufflers dumped. I will be putting on a tfs1 cam, bbk lt's, and a dr.gas x to go with the bassani's once I get some new valve springs but I couldn't resist puttin the new mufflers on. I think it sounds a lot cleaner than the mac pro dumps I...

Wondering if you can remove it because I tinted my corner lights to see what it would look like. Lets just say it looks stupid and don't try it. Oh and preferably a way that doesnt destroy the lights underneath.

About two months ago I moved to texas(dfw) from wisconsin. Since I've moved here my car can't hook I spin to the top of 1st and 2nd. In wisconsin my tires would barely break loose in 1st. At first I thought it was becuase of the heat. But even on cold days I still spin like crazy. I'm wonderin...

The tick is only coming from the drivers side, around the valve cover area. It first started ticking after I pulled out into traffic and took it to redline in 1st and 2nd gear. When I came to a stop sign I noticed the ticking. I have driven the car nearly 3k miles since it started, and the car...

I'm in the process of buying all the gaskets and other parts that I need to install my trickflow stage 1 cam into my 95. I'm wondering if I need to buy new lifters or if I can reuse the stock ones? Also does anyone know if I can use stock length pushrods with stock heads and rockers.

So i've had some excessive oil consumption lately. About a quart everythousand miles. I decided to do a compression test today and here were the results. BTW I have 101K miles. Cylinder 1= 160-162 Cylinder 2= 155-157 Cylinder 3= 157-158 Cylinder 4= 142-145 without oil 150-151 with oil...

My car burns enough oil that I have to put about 2 quarts in between 5k oil changes and with the price of mobil 1 I just can't see spending so much on oil just to burn it off. I'm thinking of using valvoline or castrol gtx but would like to hear what some of yall are using and what you think of...

I start my new job tomorrow at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI. I'm gonna be working the waterbox so maybe i'll see some of yall our there. I can't see how this job could get boring. I mean who wouldn't want to watch burnouts and get paid for it?
