Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.
This is a unique solution to the IAC hanging issue.

Re: Surging from idle to 2500 rpm
My 2003 Mach just started doing the same thing-idling up to 2500rpm
sporadically. Local shop swapped out the IAC valve as the stock IAC did
show some crap in the exisiting valve (21K miles). ...

Re: Tire Recomendations?
I have Sumitomo HTR40Z/265/40/17 front and HTR35Z/315/35/17 rear.
I have been pleased with rears and how they hook up (lower tire pressure & track lock).

Re: Sumitomo HTR Z
You guessed right, AFS 9" fronts & 10.5" rears. I wonder too if it's size or tire design. My impression had been that it was size based on some old posts. Sometimes I feel like I'm driving a...

Sumitomo HTR Z
I have 315/35/17 HTR Zrears and have been satisfied with them overall.
I have 255/40/17 fronts and they track too much. I'm thinking of swapping the fronts for 245's, which was the stock size which...

Re: White smoke from the engine bay
No recent wash. The car does sit garaged for a few days at a time. Did notice coolant low by couple of quarts. Howver, it may have been just due to oversight that I hadn't checked it in months...

Re: FS 2003 Azure Blue, 5-speed, Naples, FL 17K
Well, if a stock 2003 Mach with 17K miles is worth 17-18 according to the auto sites, and the performance work on Kenne-Bell, rear-end, wheels, etc. cost me $11,000, then it would follow that if...

Re: Anyone else waiting on a KENNE BELL kit?
K-B doesn't maintain much of an inventory and Mach1 orders have increased so the 7-10 days quote is crap. Fabricating the support structure for the shaker is a delaying factor. I basically waited...
