Hey guys new to the forum got a couple questions: I recently purchased a 2006 mustang gt that has a powerdyne supercharger among other things. The owner that had it before me didn't know much about cars, but the owner before him did a whole bunch to the car. Seems as if he did a good job but it's hard to tell of course. I've got a few questions I was hoping you guys could help me with:
The car has a water-methanol injection system from prometh, but I have no idea how to tell if it's working or not? I've got two lights on the dash of my car, a red and green that are hooked into the water-methanol system, but they almost never light up, the green never has and the red only does once in a blue moon. I've followed the wires so I can tell you where they lead if that will help. I'm just looking for a way to tell if this system is working or if I need to tweak it to get it working right.
Also, I have BBK Fuel rails and injectors, and occasionally the passenger side will spray fuel between the large bolt at the end and the body of the rail, but it will then stop. Also on the passenger side it appears to be some fuel pooled up where the injectors go into the engine. Do I just need to replace the o-rings on the injectors to keep them from leaking? Has anybody had any problems with these BBK Injectors?
Next, I put in a trunk button and recently changed all of the interior LEDs to red, and I can't exactly remember when, but now my mustang will not lock via the keyfob or the interior buttons. I can still lock it manually, and all manners of unlocking work fine. I read some on this issue and saw that the actuators will sometimes go bad, however I do not believe this to be the issue. When troubleshooting, I was reading through the owner's manual and saw how to reprogram the keyfobs. While reprogramming the keyfobs the doors confirm reprogramming by locking and then unlocking the doors. When the car does this, the doors lock just fine, which leads me to believe that there is some other issue disallowing the car from locking.
Finally, I was seeing if you guys would be able to tell if my stang was cammed or not. It has a heck of an idle, but not super lopey. It's not exactly street friendly so I don't know if it's just an aggressive tune or cammed. If I uploaded a video do you think you could tell?
Sorry just remembered one last question. When I go to take off if my car isn't warmed up really well it hesitates and makes these loud banging or popping noises or something hard to describe. I've heard this is piston slap and as the car warms up it stops because the pistons expand. I also thought this may be pinging, so I was wondering if you guys thought trying a higher octane gas was worth a try to see if it stops the issue? I'm running 91 right now.
Sorry I know this was a lengthy post full of questions, I'm just trying to get a few things figured out so I can figure out what all has been done to this car and whether it's been done correctly before the car blows up or something lol. I got burnt on my last car, it was totally rigged up by the previous owner and a few months later the engine blew. Trying to prevent that on this (much more expensive and awesome) car. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you!
