Yeah, I gatherd Ford got it wrong. Interstingly, I was looking at thos intake manifolds on ebay in the US for the Cobra ones, wierd, the intake is on the left and not on the right like we do here..

Yeah too many badges, it came with it.. why the previous owner felt the need to put the 5 litre badge on the side when it clearly says it on the door. Maybe some Northbridge Meth head had it. I'll probably take them off soon.

I just put the EL 16" XR8 rims on it... which gives it a little more of a tarty look.

Cheers for the tips on the leads!

No wuckers woody,
Hey another WAlien!
It'd probably be covered in dents and have gookified taillights if a f**k meth head had it but I know what you mean
You should grab a set of 3 piece underdrives from BPT too. Best bang for the buck out there.

btw most all the car type EFI intakes are reversible. The truck ones are not.

Cheers,
Pete.

Hey guys,

Just a big thanks for the help.

I replaced the Cap and Rotor and Coil. Car was immediately smoother.

I replaced the balancer, and man.. that thing was so stuffed... it was about 1cm off the center piece. So it was a matter of time.

Replaced it and the she was smooth as.

I put a 2 1/2 system on it as the other was RS. I didnt want loud, I just wanted higher flow.

Anyway..

I noticed underload that she pinged.. I was like "fecking great". Anyway, I put premium in and it stopped pinging. Thought... hmm timing.

So down to repco again I went.. to pick up a timing light..

Checked and she was 5 degrees's advanced. So put it in EFI Diagnostic Mode (Cheers XR9UTE for the help) and put back to 30 as per the Service Manual.

Anyway, that night, the misses and I took it for a sqirt up to Lancellin. I went to over take.. at 3000rpm.. I had nothing.. no oomph, no go.. put your foot down and it moved ever so slowly. I thought.. hmmm.. I fecked up the timing.. Checked.. nup 30... all good.

So in the morning.. I set it back to 35... and bang power again.. from 3k through to 4.5 - 5k revs so freely. and getting that gentle push in the seat. What engine faults are hidden by advancing the timing?

But it seems still sluggish in the lower range.. its like she wants to go.. but cant.. I was changing the rear globes when I noticed a whine coming from the back left.. but it was loud.. I know the pump makes noise.. but its as loud as the exhaust. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ So I am thinking fuel pump might be on the way out too.

Any thoughts? Also.. lol.. Where's the MAF?


Thanks again.

The MAF is on the air intake just behind the airbox - the thing with the wire plugged in lol . . . though Im not sure where the MAP is - been looking for mine and I have no Idea

Cheers

That pinging could be caused by the dying fuel pump...too lean. Change the fuel filter and the pump.
V8's don't have MAP Grant. MAP sensor on a 4.0L is on the firewall.

I'm assuming there isnt any diffence between i6 and v8 fuel pump?

Well there ya go hahaha im a douche

Cheers
Grant
