    97 Cobra fan options

    you can always wire in a switch. I have done that on SN95 cobras I owned in the past that I didn't want to spend the money to tune. about $5 worth of wire, a $5 switch, and a couple hours to make sure everything is tucked away nicely, and you can turn your fan on any time you like.

    '98 refuses to start

    it's worth a shot, and I had some of the same thoughts, but this go-round is the first time this particular tuner has worked on this car. he has done other ones for me but the tune that was in it when I bought it was done by someone else, years ago. I'll reach out to him and see if there is...

    '98 refuses to start

    no, I had a tune specific to the equipment at the time. that being 24lb injectors, the blower, and mild exhaust. it had a lowered rev limiter to avoid the lean condition at high RPM. after I changed the exhaust out completely and removed the cats, I retuned. We opted to raise the rev limiter...

    '98 refuses to start

    I tested with a rented gauge in my driveway for a few minutes (both KOEO and KOER), and it tested normal. Also when my last tune was done, he was monitoring fuel pressure the entire time. That's actually what made us swap in the 47 lb injectors, as it was starting to lean out at higher RPM...

    yes, the injectors are sized for my application. It has a procharger, about 425 RWHP.

    '98 refuses to start

    I'm bumping my old thread since it has all the same info I would need to re-type to give you guys some background. Anyway, A new fuel pump did not help my issue. Also the PATS system is not engaged. I have discovered a few new things that might help some folks smarter than me figure this out...

    How to test for closed loop?

    I think my procharged '98 might not be going into closed loop strategy. The reason I think this is that my OBD2 reader never seems to be able to read from all of the O2 sensors - only half (the front two, I presume). Their documentation says that once the closed loop strategy engages, all O2...

    North Texas Cobra Club?

    way (way) back in 2000 when i was a lean, mean 20 years old... I bought my first Cobra - a 1997. white with a black top and about 20k miles. Loved that car. I joined a little club called the North Texas Cobra Club that met at the Frisco, TX Ford dealership. Did some events with them and had a...

    IMRC - to keep or not to keep?

    I'm running 8 PSI through my procharger on a low-miles (54k) stock bottom-end '98. I keep getting a P1516 code, which I know means i need to at least clean the IMRC plates. I also notice, on occasion, a loss of power that I'm (perhaps naively) attributing to the IMRC issue. Most of the time...

    '98 refuses to start

    So... I have read about 100 threads about similar issues today on this site and others. And while I'm definitely not a professional mechanic, I know my way around an engine bay and I've owned 3 of these SN95 cobras. That said... I'm stumped. My car only gets driven on nice days, and we...

    New wheels going on my '98 Cobra. Gonna need new tires...

    I bought my cobra because it was the nicest, cleanest one I could find. completely unmolested except for gears, exhaust, and a procharger. only 54k original miles and not a scratch on it! With that in mind, as I make improvements I'm trying to keep them as tasteful as possible. And of course...

    Procharger new to me but not to the car - a few questions

    so, I have my first blown mustang (though it's my 7th mustang in the past 20 years and my 3rd SN95 cobra). this one is a 98 cobra with 53k miles as of today. I bought it this way, and to my eye, everything was very well done. This car was a rich-boy-toy for the first 17 years of its life and...
