I was thinking of getting a set for $92.00 (Ford racing)I am very tempted but at the same time i would hate for them to get fouled and i have to buy the brisk anyway.I think it was a tuning issue that was causing this problem,some people swear by them.Decisions,decisions.

You'd be amazed at what a pin-prick in a vaccuum line will do to these cars...

I have seen some on americanmuscle but i don't think they are for FI cars.Funny enough started her this morning and let her idle for a while,drove fine.These cars a so weird today its fine tomorrow it doing a dance,we'll see.Hey Grabber does your fan come on early in the warm up process?Mine always does, i don't think the **** goes off.

Okay this is for everyone running FI on a 3V:


YES!!! YOU HAVE TO LET THESE CARS WARM UP TO 180* (4-5min) BEFORE YOU DRIVE HARD OR IT WILL BUCK AND MISS BECAUSE YOUR ECU IS NOT ABLE TO SUPPLY THE PROPER FUELING DURING COLD START FOR DRIVING DUE TO YOUR WOT FUEL TRIM AND YOU ARE RUNNING LEAN!!!!!!!!


I had my tune tweaked at Stang-Hi, I think he adjusted the fans not to come on until the engine is 180* to aid in initial warm-up, since these cars make the best power between 180-210*, and it's cold here. I had some problems that were linked to the car never really reaching operating temp (could have been what kept killing of the HT0s, but never had that prob with the Brisks)...we swapped back to a stock 180* thermostat and tweaked the tune and the car has been great ever since. It did seem like my canned KB tune did pretty much keep the fans on all the time.

Well i am still running the the kb thermostat and their tune except i had it tweaked to richen my wide open.So let it warm up that is the key.We will see what happens,its getting pretty warm here now but i still let her run for a moment before driving.

If you're running richer than the original canned tune, you are probably fouling your plugs that way. What is you A/F now? Should be no richer than 11.0.

Have seen 10.0 on the a/f.Funny after a long trip and some more driving it seems to be sorting it self out.Someone at BBR told me to take them out and clean them if it starts again i will give it a try.I haven't had any problems for a while .The car was sitting in the shop for 2 months and i haven't been driving it like that till late so could be a reason we will see.

Ya could be as simple as a bad tank of gas...
