my rpm tach never goes over 3,400rmp, when they gave me the car i wasnt sure what was stock from the car
it is a 1994 with OBD2, but thats bside the point, so what my friend told me is that if the gauge cluster is stock. cause if it wasnt it could of been from a 4.6 or 5.0 and the pulse would be diff and the tach wouldnt read it correctly
so do u think that could be the prob or thats mayb its broke?

[thisisme]

you have an ODBI, not OBDII. It should redline at 4800. what is the max speed on the speedo?

[ironhorse]

dude thats what every one tells me but im 100% sure that i have obd2 cause i plug in the obd2 scanner and it reads it with the codes from obd2...
top speed in it is 150

[thisisme]

if the speed is maxed at 150, then someone pulled the speedo out of a gt. You need to get it calibrated. And, 94 is OBDI

[thisisme]

Post a pic of the connection for the scanner. ill tell you if it is obd1 or 2

[ironhorse]

how do i calibrate it? and yah in no i should have obd1 cause obd2 came out in 1996 so thats f-n weird. do u no the advantages of obd2 than 1?

OBDII is more complex to read. it was introduced for emissions laws and such. I really dont feel like getting technical with it. BAsically, with obd2, it pinpoints problems to the exact area of the engine. Where, obd1, just said "left bank lean" , etc, etc etc. lol. Just take it to a speed shop and have them calibrate it for you. Also, OBDII wont plug into OBDI without an adapter (OBDII to OBDI). were you using an adapter for it? thats the only way it will read it.

i dont have a pic but i hrd that obd1 connection is under the hood, and obd2 is in were i have it , next to the gas pedal behind the radio

yeah, obd1 is under the hood, right by the strut tower. OBD2 is by the gas pedal. Did someone do a 96+ engine swap on your car by any chance? cuz your car did not come stock with obd2

[ironhorse]

i dont no if there was a adapter , my bro gave it to me after he bought it from ower friend , his friend bought it at washington thats bout all i no bout the hisotry of it

[thisisme]

huh...must of been a swap of some kind. 94 was obd1...period. weird.

[ironhorse]

uh yah me lol the reason my bro gave it to me is because he shot 2 rods, he told me fix it and u can have it , so i did. so i went of and i got me a 96 engine (w/o wiring harness or pcm, with out noing that is was obd2) i had to change all of my old sensor into my new engine becuase the harness wouldnt connect to the new sensor that came with the engine,, and i see no signs of the connector by the sturt toweer

[thisisme]

thats a little odd. lol. Then, dude, i have no idea why you have obd2. lol.

[ironhorse]

its cool man , i just wanna go to the track see what i run from my "stock" to other stock v6...never no mayb the guy that did the swap new what he was doing lol

[Onemanzu]

its OBD2... i can go find sites that prove it

the v6 was a mule per se... they started the OBD2 in 94 on the v6 to see how it would work... then once they switched to the modular motor they went obd-2 in all mustangs

and gratz on switching the engine...

is it an auto?

if you wanna make your car magic ... get a tuner... sniper is prefered by most on here... cuz they are brain washed and SCT by almost everyone as well...
