    stalling again...

    Thanks for the info. I've driven several times and had no repeat. I'm wondering if my overfilling the tank did it? If it recurs then I will definitely go to the dealer for a full diagnostic run down. Viva, I will have to disagree that the filler valve does not cause problems. My car...

    stalling again...

    for a recent update... no stalling today. i ran the car hard several times, and randomly let off the gas many times during today's driving. There were a couple of times the idle wobbled a little, but no stalling or near stalling.

    stalling again...

    To answer some questions.. yes it was shell gas. yes i overfilled. More so than usual, actually. normally i lose about 15-50 cc's of gas using my funnel method, because the tank "fills" while there is still fuel in the funnel being fed into the tank. This time it tried to top it off after...

    stalling again...

    Car has 30,455 miles on it. Just started stalling today here in phoenix. temps were about 100F locally. I replaced the fuel filler 3,000 miles ago. First thing i did (after cursing the fuel flapper door) was check the fuel flapper door... and it is fine. I even ran my finger under it, and...

    What exactly is driving the need to use the battery tender?

    I would guess the thought that the FGT is typically driven less than once per week by most people... more likely less frequent than that. If i don't drive my Audi or NSX it's the same deal.. dead battery after a couple weeks..

    Ford gt water/alcohol injection? Should/can I or not?

    It sounds like the OP hasn't been quite specific enough. is the methanol going to be used primarily to push the HP envelope, or to run high HP with a larger safety net? I don't see a huge downside if the methanol is used primarily to assist in cooling and preventing detonation via increased...

    How to clean a dirty GT ?

    I had been told to avoid any pressure on the front quarter panels due to risk of deformation. Not that those gorgeous chickies look fat, but how much truth to that warning is there? I even told my detailer to not put too much pressure on them as he was working.

    How is some one who purchases parts off this car a scum ball? If it's a theft recovery and the owner is parting it out, who GAF?

    Fuel filler problems - can it be by passed?

    I would have thought that regardless of the return line, having a broken n filler cap provides the exact opposite problem gtjoey describes...lack of pressure buildup sure to no cap! Also as I understand his question, is there an electric connection he is referring to, or is it a hose he wants...

    Water in oil ?

    As an fyi, what does a headgasket replacement run in the GT? Im running a pulley/tune as a lot of people are. Not that i'd expect an issue at this power level, but it would be nice to know money wise. IIRC I spent $4700 on the HG on my NSX, although that ALSO included timing belt/water pump...

    My Ford GT on the dyno...

    careful you dont break your fuel filler nozzle leaving the gas hose just hanging like that. I use a plastic funnel now, having recently replaced mine. I've also got the heffner tune and am very very happy. fwiw i picked up 16 rwhp switching between 91 and 93.

    more than you can afford, pal... ford!

    So we're all guilty of having watched Fast n Furious. You can admit it. Anyways.. remember that scene where they pull up next to the ferarri, and ask what the retail is.. guy answers "More than you can afford, pal... ferarri".. So this guy is next to me at a light.. and ask (word for word)...

    Fuel Filler Neck repair not going so good!

    Can you post a photo to illustrate? I don't particularly need it, as i just replaced mine with new OEM. But if it breaks AGAIN, Id prefer to save the $375 and put it towards hookers and blow.
