    Failed California Smog Test

    If you have an OBD2 Data Logger you can log upstream and downstream O2 sensors to see if they're working.

    Battery Tender Jr. POS!

    I bought 4 of these about 8 to 9 years ago, with 2 of them always use, with 2 spares. The last of the 4 just bit the dust. All died by not keeping the batteries fully charged. The LED lights would stay on RED, or cycle show Green, but the battery voltage is still too low. Unless you are checking...

    Oil pressure problem after oil change

    If you have an OBDII datalogger you might be able to log the oil pressure to verify the gauge is at fault.

    Next Gen Corvette Rumors

    Corvair was a rear engine car. I think the Fiero is the only mid-engine car GM put into production. Back in the day some people shoehorned a Northstar V8 into them.

    Battery tenders / slow chargers

    I haven't verified this is the case, but it is widely reported to be so. I do know that P1000 code is set if you lose battery power. I have confirmed that reflashing the ECU does reset the tables which makes sense. If you have an SCT and livelink you can easily check next time you disconnect the...

    Battery tenders / slow chargers

    I also have a shutoff switch using it only when I servicing the car and the power should be off. I don't like using it more than necessary as learned tables for a/f ratios and returnless fuel pressure get erased.

    Liquid Red from Crank & Piston

    IMO liquid red is much better than the red used on Frank's FGT. :lol

    Number of Applications?

    I was excited when I got my official letter regarding Ford GT. Too bad it wasn't about my allocation but a recall on the airbag on my 05

    Ford GT Race Program Extended Through 2019!

    I don't know all of the racing rules, but I was assuming you have to run cars based on current production cars. Is there a grace period to run cars that were in production but not any longer. From you answer I would assume yes. As for the other forum I don't understand your question. I think I...

    New (to me) Speedhut Speedometer Trouble

    If you have an SCT tuner that works too. If your odometer is ok then the sensor is probably OK too.

    New (to me) Speedhut Speedometer Trouble

    If you have an OBDII monitor device, I would scan the speed with it during a drive. If it is OK then the speedo is bad. If the OBDII speed is also wrong I would suspect the speed sensor in the transaxle. Minor variations due to tire size can be expected and adjusted via a custom tune.

    Ford GT Race Program Extended Through 2019!

    Isn't is relevant in that Ford must run "production" cars in those races? I assume that means some number of cars will be produced up to the 2019 model year. Assuming the same production limit of 200 to 250 cars per year, up to 500 more cars can be built if demand warrants it. At 400K+ have have...
