Logged my car for a bit tonight. It has been interminently overheating at idle with AC running on hot days (90*+)
Tonight it was 66-68* outside
Let it idle for 10-15 minutes no AC, temps stayed about 196-198*, low speed fan on at 198-200* (can't remember exactly, didn't save log either)...
I've been seriously considering offloading the Cobra in a few months with picking up one of these 5.0's in mind. I remember seeing the JPC heads/cams 5.0 making over 500 a year or so ago on their stage 1 stuff. Are many people replicating those results? Any word/numbers on stage 2 or greater...
Some of you may have seen my other thread, unrelated I believe.
THIS problem has been happening for a while:
Anytime I sit idling with the AC on (likely with the AC off as well, although it hasn't happened for sure yet) the car will just start getting hotter and hotter. Temp gauge creeps up...
Anyone ever had something similar to this? Know a fix?
A while back my oil cooler gasket started leaking..was having to fill it up every now and then. Finally changed it and filled her back up with coolant, bled it multiple times, got all the air out and started DD'ing the car again. Few days...
My car has been giving me weird cooling issues (not necessarily overheating, yet, but only warm heat from vents, leaking some coolant. Now I have replaced my cap before, and I've known that where the cap meets the tank is warped but it seemed to seal OK (not leaking from there) but I think...
This is not car related but it is pictures so I am thinking this is the right place..
There is a large spool of this stuff on my land and I planned on scrapping it but may try to sell it to a contractor or something if it's worth it.
Pictures are kind of crappy so I will do my best to...
Been having a small issue for quite a while..but just now getting around to checking it out.
I haven't done anything to the car in a long time..it's a 2.3 Whipple car with your average boltons. BAP/60's/MAFia as far as supporting mods.
Now..on cold startups or cold-ish (under normal...
Just trying to clarify what is allowed at what age..
I have worn out the search engines looking this up myself, and from what I have gathered:
18+ can OWN, not carry rifles AND handguns as long as it's at your house. Also can NOT buy from a licensed dealer but can buy private party/accept...
My car began starting weird a few weeks ago. Long cranking after sitting overnight, surging when it does start, sometimes stalling. All those symptoms were the EXACT same when my BAP came unplugged a while back. Plugged it in and boom, everything is fine. When these symptoms started up again, I...
No changes to the car other than plugs a month or so ago. Lately it has been starting weird like after I get gas or just run in the store for 5 minutes. The less time between shut down and start up the worse it starts. It will start right up but very low rpm's and kind of roll/surge into it's...
I bought some 275/40/17 ET Streets for the Cobra the other day and I'm in need of some wheels to mount them on. I've checked my local craigslist and everyone is selling sets of (4) and think some worn out GT wheels are worth $500. I'm just looking for the cheapest two wheels I can find, so I...
Just shimmed up my quadrant..was pretty bad:nonono: wore a groove into one side of it, and a few other places it wore away.
Anyway..now that it's shimmed up. I can't seem to get my adjustment right for it to disengage properly. Not sure why I'm having problems now and not before:shrug:
I...
Got the full kit (uca's, lca's, front/rear diff mounts, subframe bushings) installed over the course of a few days. Had to PM Bruce quite a few times due to my own stupidity (I read the directions over and over and STILL managed to miss half of the tips/how-to's). He PM'd me back one night a...
Now that I'm done with all the bushings in the rear..I guess FLSFC's and shocks are next?
What are the pro's of flsfc's and shocks? Need a little schooling..I'm a noob.
Pro/con of bolt-in vs welded connectors?
Ok so my 2nd cable has snapped after being on the car for 15-20k miles :bored:
What could cause super hard pedal feel? I thought it was just the clutch..friend ended up getting the same clutch and his car felt just fine (Centerforce Dual Friction). Mine however has always been hard to press...
How was the before/after traction wise?
Does "getting rid of the hop" make it just spin cleanly or does it make it plant and hook up better?
My car on the street spins fairly clean now but the track hops like all hell.
Got the FTBR bushings coming in next week hopefully and am just...
