Still NO POWER......a metro could smoke my SHO!
Hey, Technically, from what I understand, DHMag and Lurch are both right, depending on what the problem is (Duh!) Both will cause the engine/exhaust to run hotter. But yes, I believe running rich will make it hotter than running lean closer to the cats (because the whole purpose of the...- RedDiabloStang96

Hey, Actually, yes, if it is running lean, then it would also be running hotter. But, in order to cause the problem he is having (assuming it is actually a rich/lean problem), then there would either have to be a lack of spark (causing it to run rich-coil, plugs, wires, DIS module-highest...- RedDiabloStang96

Hey, If you are getting a great deal of heat in the front of the engine (I'm assuming you mean by the exhaust manifold), I would think it's because you are running very rich on one or more of the cylinders, and the fuel is catching fire in the cat (I haven't looked at my SHO for a LONG...- RedDiabloStang96

Hey, Congratulations man! I figured it would have to be the injectors (that's all that's left!!!) Anywho, good job! I just got my Mustang working too (at 9:00 pm!!!)! So, we're both having good days! Glad I could help (if I did)! --Brian- RedDiabloStang96

Hey, You said injectors 2 and 3 aren't working. You may have already done this, but if not, try this. Take 2 and 3, and switch them with two other injectors that ARE working (i.e. switch 2 and 4, 3 and 5). Then, do the Cylinder Balance Test. If 2 and 3 are now working, then the fuel...- RedDiabloStang96

Hey, My SHO is an auto, but I'm NEVER going to drop in another automatic. My mustang is a stick. So, I break both versions fairly!!! HAHA! Anyways, ya, I'm gonna drop in a stick into my SHO. Anywho, good luck! At least you have a car to drive right now (I'm not quite that lucky!!!)...- RedDiabloStang96

Hey, I know what that's like! I've had my fair share of bad luck too! Lost one job when the tranny died on my taurus (no transportation), so I bought my mustang! Lost my next job when my mustang's tranny died (no transportation)! So, I'm rebuilding my tranny! But, I haven't had a...- RedDiabloStang96

Damn! Hey man, I'm really sorry! I have no clue what is going on! Unfortunately, I am having so many problems of my own rebuilding my mustang's transmission, I haven't had much time to think about it! I'll get back to you if I think of anything else! Good luck! Don't get too crazy...- RedDiabloStang96

I am soo stumped! Hey, I have got NO idea what the heck is going on! This is one very freaky problem! Let me look through some of my ford "how the **** does the computer and sensors work" books, and let me get back to you if I find something! Otherwise, I hope it's just something...- RedDiabloStang96

You ran it out of gas? Hey, You ran it low on gas? Did it stall out (run completely out of gas). Every time I ran it out of gas, it always started in second gear later. I don't know if you have yet or not, but unplug the battery, and hold the brakes for 60 seconds. This will clear the...- RedDiabloStang96

Hey, How long after the new plug wires did this problem start? You may want to check the firing order. The Chilton's firing order is wrong. Mike from MidwestSHO posted the firing order in another message: On the Block: |1 2 3| |4 5 6| Coil: |5 1| |6 2| |4 3| I'm really... -

Well.... Hey, Well, if it's not the ignition module, then I guess it would have to be the fuel injector. U didn't mention in your last post if you checked the coil, but I'm guessing you probably did. That is a very strange occurence though! I've never heard of an injector just... -

Check your ignition coil and module Hey, Check your coil and ignition module. That would cause all of the symptoms you listed! --Brian P.S. How can you hear an injector working? Are you using a stethoscope? Just wondering! -

Check your ignition Hey, I had that problem SEVERAL times on my SHO (although my idle wasn't really high. I don't know what the deal is with that! Computer may be trying to compensate). Try these things before you do anything! The testing is free, and it might lead you to the problem...- RedDiabloStang96
