I appreciate it. My main problem is with warm starting, using Una's base map from neonsquirt.com got me 60% of the way there and autotune got me most of the rest, fortunately, since the "tuning-ms" sections of this board and the other .org consist mostly of questions about whether people should go w...

IT LIVES! Started up right away. Unfortunately, my wideband controller is fried (due to some wiring/grounding mistakes on my part), so I won't be able to get a decent tune till I build the replacement, but it started up immediately, and actually idles better than the stock computer does without O2 i...

True that, but after more research it appears they use the older EV1 style connectors. Apparently Mustang 5.0 injectors are the right size and connectors, but they may need some sort of washer to make them fit our fuel rail.

I realize I'm bringing this back from the dead, but it was mentioned that the duratec ford taurus injectors are 24lb/hr, any idea what years? After a bit of google searching it looks like the older ones look a bit different from the newer ones, and it's really hard to find VIN S specific ones.

I know this is something of a post resurrection, but I happen to have a multimeter that lets me measure frequency and duty cycle, and on an 02 neon, the PWM IAC runs at about 76hz, (which translates to a valve frequency of 2.5), at about 20% duty cycle on a cold engine (outside temps of about 50F). ...

Does anyone know if a regular crank scraper will fit an OBX aluminum oil pan? I'd think so since the crank scrapers only protrude above the oil pan and have a similar shape to the oil pan gasket, which fits the aluminum oil pans, but has anyone done this?
