fed up with this car! phuck it!

stangfreak · February 26th, 2008, 09:57 PM

this is my first SN95 mustang and i can't ever get any straight answers on mods/problems ect...

my Performance Automatic's AODE is in failsafe mode. nobody here can help me find out why. i hear constant computer related related problems with these cars all the time. i'm done with it all together. i'm swapping the Performance AODE for a T-56 6 speed and doing a carburation conversion with a Vic jr. intake, a 650 dbl pump and a NX wet kit. fuck the injection and the computer issues that nobody can't ever seem to answer!

GOOD! is that your real quarter mile time? did your tires turn into sand bags?

your car will be sweet with the new set up

HMUSN · February 26th, 2008, 10:11 PM

your tranny is not in fail safe

it's mechanical.. it can't be. failsafe=computer.

hahaha! no it's not my real time! i figured most people here makes up their 1/4 mile times so i made one up too lol!

HMUSN · February 26th, 2008, 10:23 PM

that's BS.

your transmission is just parts and gears.

it has sensors attached to feed to the computer but your computer can't mess with the tranny itself.

something is wrong with the tranny if it doesn't shift out of gear or into another gear.

stangfreak · February 26th, 2008, 10:29 PM

it's an AODE, computer controlled.

95opal · February 26th, 2008, 10:31 PM

The first thing you should do is pull your codes. Something triggered your car to enter failsafe mode and you should be able to figure it out throught the codes.

I have seen a few cars do this in overheating situations. The low coolant temp sensor will trigger it so that the car can be limped home on minimal power. So you also might want to check your coolant level. Sometimes the sensor gets coated with sludge and can possibly do this also.

Its definately sensor related so the best thing you can do is pull the codes. Good luck and report back with what codes you come up with.

what about your 1/4 mile time....were you spinning the tires because that time seems a lil low for those kinda power numbers

HMUSN · February 26th, 2008, 10:32 PM

a transmission might be computer controlled but it's still a transmission.
a transmission is just made of parts an gears.. no ecu inside. just sensors attached.

a sensor is sending the wrong signal somewhere unless you hear grinding.

i've had it on a snap-on scanner and the only code it pulls up is a lean condition

ryans88gt · February 26th, 2008, 10:45 PM

96b.boy · February 26th, 2008, 10:50 PM

Umm.... Thats probably where I would start looking. I would first verify proper fuel pressure. Post up what ya find out.
