1990 Ford Foxbody Driving in First Person!

[@joepanciarello5211]

Craig, I owned a mustang only shop for 25 years. My advice is set the Tps @ .96 volts with idle speed @ 900 rpm. Should eliminate the surge and starting problems

[@Thecraig909]

Thank you!

[@JaredR1996]

That Foxbody is slowly becoming my favorite but that F100 is still at the top for me

[@jhironman]

Same here

[@jamesoles8225]

Defiantly would love to see the first person driving again, I loved watching you drive your truck a few years back even before the 5 speed in it. I still go back and watch them sometimes. Keep up the good work!

[@jasonsutton1074]

Get Brew2L to see if he can help you tune the Fox. He seems to know all about the TPS and stuff.

[@jamessalter676]

Yeah Craig could learn alot about these cars watching Brew2l videos.

[@murdamitt313]

You gotta remember brew2l in Alabama east coast. Craig in cali west coast. Still would need to install a stand-alone with the software brew uses. Non the less I enjoy watching both can’t wait to get my fox build on the road. Cheers.

[@VictorSanchez-kp9nt]

@@murdamitt313 no doesn't need a stand alone just needs to learn how to set idle.

[@murdamitt313]

@@VictorSanchez-kp9nt yes needs to learn how to base idle reset… but to my point needs a stand-alone a 1/4 horse at minimum for a true tune. All I was getting at

[@jamessalter676]

@@murdamitt313 brew2l has a few videos that could help him. Not casually go to his house lol

[@kelvinhill9874]

It looks like you need to have the front end aligned. Your steering wheel is off to the right quite a bit.

[@adidaspump]

Yup. Love the driving content. Pedal cams - out the front cams. It’s awesome !!

[@2koolchris291]

Love the driving content. I can’t wait till winter is over. The snow is a pain. Once spring hits I’m gonna bring my dads old car out of the barn. It’s a 1969 amx that is a four speed and has been off the road since 96. I got it running and posted a video on my channel. It needs a whole lot of work. He had it since 83 and rebuilt the car then and drove it everywhere

[@georgefisher2021]

You still need to color the outside window trim. You can wash & polish the cat all you like but with that trim all scuffed up and scratched, it looks trashy. Sorta like have a nice shiney car with dirty wheels or license plates. Love your channel. I'm a 74 year olf retired trucker. :)

[@TanCalHan]

Base idle reset and tps adjustment

[@jamessalter676]

Lol I saw the "Nice" I love the way the fox sits on those wheels.

[@Rodg470]

Man I wish we had roads like what you drive here in Houston. The first person is pretty cool

[@204_mod_shop]

I vote for no more background music! Would love to see just straight up raw footage when you in a car!

[@tacptaco1]

AAAAGGGGGHHHHH, my OCD is kickin in….center…..your…..steering…..wheel!!!!!

[@ivanmamedov90]

It seems that your suspension doesn't work because car shaking like that. Or i'm not right?

[@jhironman]

If the t5 ever blows and if you want something to beat on get the tkx 5 speed cause it should bolt right up if you have a hydraulic throw out bearing cause I have the tkx in my 79 f100 and it has been fantastic for me and trust me it’s worth the money to get it

[@jhironman]

Also I love the first person view

[@fordfandiecast]

Enjoyed the 1st person driving. Miss my Foxes so this is cool to watch. Great content

[@burtonray9259]

Please tape the windows off and sand the window trim and paint it . Several videos on how to do it. It would make that thing look 100x better., That's always the first thing I notice in it.

[@backseatdriver4833]

Great camera angle I love the car rides let’s do more!

[@RangerDanger074x4]

Makes me feel like I’m in my old fox!! Miss it but I like my cobra a lot too. Keep it up Craig!! Will you be at fabulous fords forever? Would be really cool to meet you brotha!

[@jasonmyers7410]

That pickup is bad ass! '67? '68? I love the turquoise and white paint job on it, too. The Fox body sure looks damn good.

[@alexwhalen6387]

I’d love to see some more driving videos in all of your vehicles!!

[@ConemantheBarbarian]

Have you cleaned the throttle body and IAC? Those are notorious for gumming up. Those being dirty will effect cold starts.

[@christopherfroeba471]

Friend of mine had a 1991 towncar had kinda same prob. Changed the TPS three times and found out that the EGR tube from EGR valve the exhaust manifold was cracked.

[@rong4189]

Dude! You gotta respray the window trim with some Trim Black or something! It’s making my OCD go crazy lol!

[@brandonknight7240]

Easier said than done. Mine was in the same condition there are 2 options for the quarter window trim- Buy new windows or send your windows off and have them rebuilt with new trim. I bought new quarter windows.

[@koreylyons2683]

My 5.0 does the same thing in the cold. Once it warms up it idles fine. I live in Wisconsin and store it in the winter so it stays rust free so when I start it once a month it’s hard to get it started

[@thatmaverickguy859]

Good afternoon Craig hope you have a great day

[@OtisENGINEuity]

I'd check the idle air control valve as my Bronco with a 5.8 had weird idle issues and that's what it was.

[@davesharp5507]

I LOVE driving videos!

[@davidvansickle563]

Wouldn’t surging be a fuel issue ? I love these drives you take us on. San Diego looks beautiful

[@evanmarquez5807]

your egr valve ; mine does the exact same thing in the morning lol i kinda like it sometimes

[@TheTyrantfan]

That T-5 is good for around 300 HP, sooo your fox body isn't hurting it. 😁

[@TylerDuysen]

actually it is you do realize that car made 315hp stock right (its not stock though it probably makes 450hp) not to mention how craig loves to revbomb gears

[@jp360ford2]

@@TylerDuysen 265hp stock. Not sure which ones came 315hp stock. But 265hp, stock 302, stock exhaust, stock everything. 🤷🏻‍♂️

based on how his engine looks and he said the last owner built the engine this is the mods i assume it has which is why i thought it was a h.o motor which wouldve made 315-320hp stock

Yes base idle reset easy to do brew2l has a great how to go watch and learn your making the rest of us foxbody guys look bad!😎👊

[@mattsgarage6670]

Time for a carb swap on the fox

[@MrToranaGuy]

Your fox body sounds mean and looks like a fun drive! I've got myself a local 91 Ford Falcon EB S XR8 that I've done a few mods to the 302 HO that it had, GT40p heads, intake, maf, a mild cam, extractors and bigger exhaust, running a T5 behind it with 3.27 lsd diff. It too is fun to drive.

[@marcusmaddenov2451]

I like the driving stuff.

[@nexgencarguyscraig331]

I think that surging you’re having at start up is an old ECU issue. Mine did the same thing. No matter how many times I followed Brew2ls base idle reset it never helped. Even after replacing a bunch of stuff. I found a bad capacitor in my ECU and replaced it but it still didn’t fix it

[@pnwadventurer9674]

It’s the computer adjusting to the conditions

[@williamalley4976]

Another question, Why haven't You finished the AC in the Fox Body?

[@SPACE11609]

Check you ect sensor it can cause alot of surging also.

[@jimpatnode4445]

Sence you asked, I started following you for the Galaxy build, not Mustang ii touring.

[@billyhensley7770]

Throttle position sensor for sure

[@mrmoss149]

Craig- no-go on the daily going to the strip. SOMETHING will catastrophically fail. I've seen it WAY too many times. Enjoy it for what it is- a GREAT daily.

[@sphinxkamikaze8746]

So in this video, you mention how the f100 is way faster than the fox body. I know the gearing is a huge part of that, and I've watched everything and know the history of the f100. I think it would be interesting to have you compare the two and talk/show the differences, and how you got a big heavy truck to be faster than a mustang.

[@PrincessTS01]

horizon is dead steady, but the inside is bounding all around, hows them shocks?

[@DrWolf33]

Driving videos would be nice

[@fmcgarrity1479]

Do a leak down test it’s probably time to rebuild sounds like weak valve springs?

[@bigbow62]

Hi Craig, love the channel man... Take the truck & car to the drag____strip 😎🏁 You can compare the time slips ✌😎

[@JimS870]

Did you say 3.00 gears? Or 3.08? Any desire for something like a 3.55. How's the power with such tall gears? Looks like a really fun car!

[@jjdekay6969]

I know how to fix any gopro 7 or newer.........throw it out and get an osmo action. It might not have all of the bells and whistles but it always works. I have 2 and also an osmo pocket and have always had good luck. Just remember, some moments only happen once and camera failure sucks.

[@derekw4975]

Do you have lowering springs on it? If so, what brand? Loving the stance!

[@brandonknight7240]

Mine did that and it was a cracked vaccum hose under the lower plentum

[@evanmarquez5807]

also i had the wrong maf connecter and never saw it till i unwired it

[@Chechenzko]

A matte black finish maybe?

[@aldairgarcia6637]

Take it to the drags strip.

[@sickwidit49]

U need a base idle reset

[@dilanbashaw4235]

I want see video of driving more and angle are good

[@MrAmartin8]

Have you put a scanner on it when cold to see if the system is in closed or open loop when cold ?? Just a thought ...

[@TylerDuysen]

its obd1 have to have special adapters just to hook it up (and obd 1 doesnt show live data)

[@tevetanders9729]

YAP 👍

[@Venturemaster_Nate]

First And yes, Foxbodies are that slow.

[@SalvationGarage]

Would the voltage dropping at idle cause that issue? I see his volt gauge drops at idle. May have no effect but just wondering.

[@JohnsonT2724]

I wonder if need o2 sensors cause that car was made when it they just stared putting those in cars.

[@robertironside3166]

Ya something there to do with that popcorn action... consistent fuel pressure to the rails then if that's not it, ignition [but you've done all the ignition]. Older 302 run hard and put up wet a number of times before you got it... ya.. but... size of the fuel line? Are those clean caps on the rails or did buddy before you try to de-cap them at home with a horse file and an old bench sander... Holey offered to sniper you yet or fitech thinger-majagger? Get away from that old set of rails maybe and all of that early ford injection poop? I don't know [clearly] lol HOWEVER... I could see you rather keep the NEW injector thing for either of the Galaxies.... you will cruise in comfort and style in those babies :-))) But will haul A$$ regardless.

what highway did you run?

[@204_mod_shop]

TPS??? IAC??? I know.. I know.. you got a carb in your truck already. But suchhhhh a better motor when it's got some good ol' carb action happening, make a couple more HP and don't gotta worry about dumb issues with sensors instead you deal with trying to tune a carb 😂😂😂 but you know all this already

[@TylerDuysen]

actually efi is way better carb is just way simpler and less to go wrong also hed make way less hp with a carb on this car (these obd1 cars run 60psi+ of fuel pressure stock(this isnt stock) a car can only handle 7 before you blow out all the seals its not a simple swap to run a carb on this car)
