Thank you for the info on the Bosch data sheet. Based on that 10 degree requirement, I think it's reasonable to assume that might help mitigate normal condensation and potentially any debris regardless of fuel type.
My assertion is that, post engine shutoff (engine up to full temp), regardless...
After engine shutdown would the exhaust not be subjected to atmospheric humidity? How would E85 change anything with regards to ambient humidity?
Also, if that statement were true and rapid heating of condensation caused stress fractures in the o2 ceramic, then anyone starting their car on a...
There's lots of other issues with water being absorbed by E85 in the tank. I'm specifically looking to understand how E85 (varying levels of water contamination or not) could damage an O2 sensor. What mechanism allows condensation to form on the sensor?
I'm debating on a set of headers and unfortunately I've found myself down a rabbit hole torn between trying to understand anecdotal internet tales and a logical understanding of the relationship between E85 and how it may contribute to damaged O2 sensors. The reccomended fix here, when switching...
I took it out of storage and drove it around the local area. Car would make a clunk going over bumps. It also handled terribly. I popped the trunk and pushed on each corner until I was able to replicate the noise. It was the bump stop contacting during compression. Found the rear drivers side...
Mine did the same thing while my car was in storage during a deployment. Came back to the shock having emptied itself onto the garage floor. Same shock location too.
Only 2 years old and Ford refused to cover it under warranty unless a technician saw the issue and replaced it. Three week...
I drove on MPS4S occasionally last season here in Colorado. As long as it was over 32 degrees I felt ok driving on them (as long as there's no snow or ice) however below 40 and they're very hard and don't have a lot of grip. Easy to do burnouts from a light though, haha.
Absolutely...
I reccomend catless long tubes and a flowmaster outlaw. Also be sure to back the car up to a wall for those cold starts. Shouldn't be louder than a mouse.
Well if you're trying to make coffee, I like to use the disposable 8-12 cup coffee filters and water.
If you're talking about oil, I'd look in the owners manual.
This guy is unbelievablely obnoxious but it's the best quick video I could find showing where the plug is:
Abs will not be impacted. It will throw a couple lights on the dash until the plug is plugged back in. It will completely disable all traction and stability control so be ready for all...
I'm curious if any of the nannies are acting up. I'd recommend unplugging the dyno/nanny plug and seeing the problem persisits. Low hanging fruit that's easy to eliminate.
When I tried inducing oversteer/dial in slip angle on a skid pad it was damn near impossible to get the car to react...
I'd talk to a correction place and get their take. They should be able to measure how much clear the kid blew through with his "detailing" attempt. Let them know the back story and see how much clear they still have to work with.
I had a 2 step correction done on mine because the previous...
Can you post your alignment specs? Car should not have instability with a proper alignment.
I'm on the Ford lowering Springs as part of their track pack and on MPS4S 325 rears and 305 fronts.
No problem tracking straight at the factory limiter of 155. Front end does get a bit lighter but the...
