sounds like exhaust leaks galore to me. Just get some new headers, gaskets, x pipe, cat back and no more leaky for you!!!!

[v_dub_ya]

Sounds like an exhaust leak from the shot of the engine and the whine sounds like a belt? or maybe a tensioner?

[01mmmz28]

^ tensioner I bet, replace that ASAP along w/ a new belt. Remeber a/c belt too, if your car is so equiped.

I would replace:

plugs
wires
hoses
belts
exhaust

Then:
short throw shifter
3.73 gears
DR's
light suspension mods


presto......a street racer.

haha u found out my sectret wepeon hahah, it had after market bbk header, h pipe not sure what kind 2 cats, and exhaust i think flow master. how am i gona find where the leaks comen from? i wana get a new catback, dont wana by a new h pipe if i dont need it.

well......the least costly way is to get your car up onto a lift, while it's running, go under the car w/ a spray bottle with a soapy water mix and spray thr exhaust heavily with it, it will dry kinda fast because of the heated pipes, but if you spray a heavy amount on you will see it bubble up at the leak point. Try the easy areas 1st, near flanges,welds,band clamps.....or you can take it to a shop and they have a sniffer device that can detect exhaust leaks, but that will cost you more.

ok thanks bro, i dont think shes maken full power, i have a feeling it aint geten enuf spark and the timing is ****ed up, im ordered new msd coil tfi, cap and rotor, msd wires. hopefully that helps a little , and ima set the timing.

alot of time shes doesnt want to start, but once it start if u push the gas is will sudder and misfire, sometimes back fire i think. but once its warmed up it runs fine, and wil start right back up most the time.

[97talon]

Yeah, def check the plugs/wires.

[Traction Issuez]

crawl under the car and look for black on the exhaust aka soot at the joints{and not the ones you smoke cheech}. my best guess is the leak is at the headers to h pipe bolts.

also check your clutch fan, the odds are it is seized, WITH THE CAR NOT RUNNING grab the fan blades one on each side and try to rock it back and forth aka towards the motor and rad, if there is play the clutch needs to be replaced, also it is to be able to turn without turning the water pump pulley. if that breaks say good bye to the rad and likely the upper rad hose. it is a known problem.

but like i said look at the header to h pipe bolts and also the header to block bolts, they are 7/16 socket and wrench, cause the socket won't reach all of the bolts.

make sure your timing is at 14 degrees advance, stangs like it there, the fags at ford give them alot less.

Be a man and do it with the car running.
