    Another Terminator Clone Build Thread

    Hey, don't worry about those 2 brackets. They don't remind me of any part on my mustang when i did my 03 cobra swap. They don't have ford part numbers either. The bolts don't look factory either. They belong in the trash can so you can focus on getting your car running again. What i learned...

    Normal STFT high LTFT

    i have an idea on where the engine could be getting a vacuum leak. i did some EVAP repairs on my cobra a year ago. First i replaced the EVAP Purge valve and i still had a evap small leak code, so then i replaced my EVAP vent valve on the Charcoal canister. i got the code to go away after that...

    Trying to diagnose a ticking sound

    I think you can drive the car with the ticking noise and change the Engine Oil more often, i would not run the additive to help with the Ticking. you would want to run the additive to a motor that runs good. If you want your car to run perfect and enjoy driving it without the noise, you are...

    G35 key won’t turn

    there is a sensor around the ignition switch for the keyless system, so get that part replaced with a new one, then tow it to the dealer to have the keys reprogrammed to the new sensors for the keyless. if the water sprayed down the passenger side of the dash, your car will need a new IPDM and...

    Who's ported Eaton is this, any way to tell?

    looks like a STEIG Stage 5, basically the max porting that can be done. serial 169006. that is a very good porting job. with a 2.76 pulley on the front you're looking at about 12-13 PSI with the stock lower.

    Driveline clunking while driving

    you should remove the driveshaft to check the U Joints, they should move smooth in all 4 directions, if one direction is looser than the other than replace the U JOINTS. if problem still continues i would remove the diff cover and inspect the gears for chipping and bearings for wear. also could...

    HELP: oil spill on terminator seats

    The fabric will likely be stained forever. You can clean it for use where your not getting dirty. I do have a steam cleaner for our floors that has a smaller attachment for car seats. The steam just makes it cleaner than warm water. You should try some oxy clean dab on a rag then apply (soak) to...

    Transmission clunking into each gear

    you should learn how to check the backlash on the rear gears. if it has too much backlash it will cause the clunking sound. you will need to rebuild the rear gears to get the backlash into factory specs. also, rock the diff up and down to check the bushings and make sure the diff is firm and...

    2001 SVT Cobra stalling issues.. Help

    yeah unfortunately the cams might have messed up a valve and the problem could be due to a leaking valve, intake or exhaust, causing compression loss. i would warm the car up for 15 mins and take the spark plugs out and check the compression in each cylinder, record the results for comparison. i...

    2001 SVT Cobra stalling issues.. Help

    ok i do agree the car should run good and not stall with the aftermarket MAF and Bigger Injectors if it is tuned for those parts. the car put down 400hp to the tires. it has a stalling issue and a check engine light for misfire. i think it should be able to run good and idle decent and not stall...

    2001 SVT Cobra stalling issues.. Help

    if you change the MAF size (from 80mm stock) then the ECU needs to be adjusted to the new 90mm MAF you want to run. same with changing your injectors from 24LB to 39LB. i did try to install a aftermarket MAF on my 03 cobra, the car started and idle for couple mins, then while driving it ran...
