Finished My Swap Now Theft Light's Flashing and She Wont Start

68 dlxcoupe · April 1st, 2008, 03:52 AM

Alright I got my swap done tonight and I went to crank her over and nothing. Fuel pump runs, relays and everything click but the thift light is flashing like a sonofbitch. I went back and checked and rechecked all my connections and all that good stuff. Now, I have tuned it with the Sniper Special Forces. Could this be an issue?? I also deleted my EGR. So What could be causing this?? I'm pretty sure Im f**ked. If so, bye bye mustang

Got that problem solved. now onto the part that makes me look really dumb. i put in a new oil pump and all that good stuff. How do I pre-oil my engine. Everything is put together and she starts but no oil pressure. And I'm too scared to start her up again, I dont want a new motor yet!!!! Help

it will prime almost instantly. If you used assembly lube, it will keep it lubed up until oil can get in there. And dont go by the pressure gauge in the dash, gt an aftermarket one.

Yea, you don't have anything to worry about. But that is the number 1 cause of wear in engines because of the lack of lubrication. I put Lucas oil stabilizer, you could do that, or just start it and let it run.

Ok thanks guys. So just start her up and let her run and It'll all be good??
