    thermostat stuck open, replace.
  2. Jack stand placement - feedback?

    How that happened?
  3. Jack stand placement - feedback?

    This. The stability of it it's the same as a two post lift. The only drawback is the limited lift space available but unless you own a shop you can do very invasive work even with a QJ. Just compromise somewhat on comfort. For me, every jack stand gives me the chills.
  4. Key Fob Confusion

    The system which reads the keys in the cupholder is different from the system which reads the keys actively. We got it, the passive reading system in the cupholder is working, great, now we have to debug the active system which reads the keys for starting the car. Two questions: 1- Does the car...
  5. '22-'23 vs. '18-'21 CAI Measurements

    Thank you for correcting me, looks like I have the understanding of the physical phenomenon wrong. I'll take a better look into it.
  6. Dangerous driving - tips for a newbie to muscle cars

    I don't understand how it's possible that you can drive like this in Switzerland and you are here writing. The most dangerous thing that can happen to you, where you are, is that you are going to be shot on the place because of the loudness that you are producing. (full disclosure: I am Italian...
  7. '22-'23 vs. '18-'21 CAI Measurements

    Also, the biggest restriction looks like to be the filter media, not the diameter of the pipe, because that is offset by higher velocity. Also, the flow straightener can have the effect of giving the MAF more accurate reading.
  8. Is this ecoboom?

    Yes. Modern turbocharges have blades that can be adjusted by the ECM so that they are much more responsive and have a higher efficiency range. It the turbo is damaged and these are not moving, you get these kind of results. It should not be that difficult to take a look at the turbo, it's just...
  9. Rough idle when cold

    What year is the car? New engines have double injection system and when cold they run only with the direct injection, so the problem may lie somewhere in the high pressure fuel system. Do you have any way to diagnose the car?
  10. Is this ecoboom?

    Check the turbo, it's probably gone, and you're lucky that it still has not grenaded and took the entire engine with it.
  11. Car Slipping in rear with power.

    Tone your enthusiasm down a couple of notches. You are going to hurt yourself or others this way. Winterize the pony or get good winter tires, to get this spring alive. Then, learn the physics and the manner of a high performance sports car, without killing yourself or others. These things...
  12. Strategies to avoid windshield rock chips

    There's not much you can do. Up until now I have a rock chip which requires to fix the glass via resin injection once every ten years. Up until now, never had to change a windscreen. As other have said, bad luck tend to come in waves. You have to live with it, keep a good following distance...
  13. Winter Storage Routines?

    If the oil is only a 2-3.000 km's old it's no point in changing it, just go for a good drive before storing to get the moisture out. In my case it just happens that the Mustang has it's yearly scheduled maintenance just a few days before storage usually happens. But it's not the same for the...
  14. Double post cant delete for some reason lol

    You can adjust the latches on the car, there should be some markings on them to help you with the alignment.
  15. What’s Your Daily Driver Alongside the Mustang?

    Thanks! First baby, and both wife and the baby are going great! I have the luck of being able to spend most of my time with them and I'm cherishing this moment, challenging, but it's surely special.
  16. What’s Your Daily Driver Alongside the Mustang?

    Well, it depends. The "daily" until a month ago (which is not that daily 'cause me and me wife we are both freelancers and I'm 100% remote while she is 50% of the time) used to be a Mercedes W177 A250 4Matic (which I'm keeping), then this June she added a second sports car (a MX-5 2.0 Homura)...
  17. My car drives like shit.

    I believe it's totally invisible when not used. I have to admit that I would really love to roast (melt) the (plastic) bumper of a few tailgaters.
  18. Engine startup 10 second misfire

    Going back to the original question: if somebody does not know hot to do a proper diagnosis and quotes for 16 injectors replacement, it's not worth working on your vehicle.
  19. Engine startup 10 second misfire

    Per hour access it's like 18$ cheap. Any good shop have access to it. It's not only for dealerships. IDS only works with the proprietary Ford interface but FJDS (it's IDS with SAE J2534 compliance) and FDRS both works with third party SAE J2534 interfaces. Any good shop has at least one, if not...
