Ahhh, the good old fox idle issues 🤣. Salt pepper shakers, mass air, iac, tps, cracked wiring, timing, grounds, relays, other hack job gremlins, fuel regulator, missing spout connector, distributor, ignition solenoid on and on and on lol. Joys of the foxbody 👍

[@mikecollard1165]

Mine used to do the poop and pop. Never could figure it out. Later put a bigger fuel pump in it and it has never happened again. 23 years later still going strong. Scarlet red and titanium. Gotta love a 2 tone fox

[@GearHead704]

My car needs tierods pretty bad so I'm really looking forward to the next vid

[@LiquidSSSnake]

Maybe try a 3G alternator with 4ga wire conversion. The computer will run better with consistent amperage. I think the 2G is over taxed for a EFI car, the 80 amp is a carryover from the carbed years. That poor 2G is trying to run computers and sensors through 30 year old wiring. I know for a fact even the 3G gets less efficient when it heat soaks, that one is even worse.

[@DEMONFOX5.0]

It’s always something brother.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Always.. lol

[@russellromero4583]

Will you be installing the upper and lower cobra intake for your Calypso clone?

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Yes sir👍

[@91frankenstang23]

I’ve got plenty of sweet tea, cereal and pb&j. Send Andrew on up and we can knock out some things I’ve been wanting to get done. Haha. Good work man! Always something with these cars when they want to have attitudes. Lol

[@toddmeans6639]

Leaning towards PIP Sensor in the distributor. Usually caused by bad ground or ECM capacitor leg bad.

[@rpliegos]

Have you checked your IAC Valve, its a very common problem on these 5.0s they clog with dirt and produce the same kind of problems you have with the car not idling correctly.

[@poorperformance8850]

One thing you forgot to mention for the less mechanical viewers is how to relieve fuel pressure before pulling injectors, gas and paint don't mix lol. I trip the inertia switch in the hatch then turn engine over with key for few seconds to get all fuel out. Car looks great now I'm inspired to get on my suspension I've been slacking with all this heat and work 👍

[@silverbullet1162]

So i got to feed my son fruity pebbles, lol,

[@jamiegault3004]

I have a 91 lx, it would sometimes run perfect and sometimes skipping and running rich. I replaced every sensor I mean every sensor still would do the same thing. Finally I replaced the computer, solved everything.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

That sucks.... at least you got it figured out though!

[@RPJs-Cuisine]

Uggggh, i love that damn car! I know the exact poop and pop too, lol! Cant wait for next video! Last video i left a long comment. Hopefully i didnt come off as a asshole. Wasnt the motive! BTW, u should have that thang-thang i sent u by tomorrow or Wed 👍🍕🍺

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Nice! Thanks again brother!

[@TrakSpock1]

Anytime I've had driveability issues with a Fox Mustang it's always been the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). Even had one go bad on 94 Chevy K5 Blazer but the GM ones seem to hold up better overall.

[@mr.mckinnon5680]

Camber caster plates are great, if your front wheels are on the ground. It also helps to determine, before you build the car, as to what you're going to build the car for. Starting with tires. Too much tire, and not enough engine, and you wasted your money on tires. Too much engine and not enough Tire, well, at least you look cool just burning out. Last time I checked... Drag cars don't need touring suspension. And touring cars, don't need a drag racers engine. All of those components really depend on where the strut towers are at. If your strut Towers aren't where they're supposed to be, all the camber caster plates in the world, are not going to help you dial it in. If you haven't noticed, Mustangs are notorious for rotting out at the strut Tower and frame rail. All four edges of the strut Tower must be solid, for a camber caster plate to help you at all. But then, there are only approximately, 12 more rubber bushings to be replaced, if you want that front suspension tight. But let's take a look at another aspect here. Most of the people at the parts counter, have no idea what a camber caster plate is. It's not going to be listed as that in their computer. It will be a strut bearing plate. And they will have those on the Shelf. Everything else, for a Mustang of that era, is a goddamn geographical Oddity. Everything's 2 weeks away.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Lmfao!! 😂 killed it with the “oh brother where art thou” reference

[@joshruby]

my 84 is my daily driver and last week on the way to work at 6 am my headlights start going off and on then went out. I was driving with my fog lamps for the last 3 miles. I changed the headlight switch yesterday but really no way to check it without driving in the dark because cant tell if they on in daylight. get one thing fixed and something else breaks. getting tired of working on it.

[@ShaneHerald]

that is still one awesome build man....that car is so sweet .....needs t tops in it ......

[@bradvaughan3658]

I’m digging the stance of this car. I can’t wait to see the next video of doing the front end work. I desperately need to do some work on my new edge and need the motivation so I can pull it off myself.

[@NotMorganFreeman.]

I see comments mentioning the distributor. I think that may be my issue as well. Rock Auto (and from what I can tell) LMR are Cardone. Anyone have any experience using these?

[@JCREASMAN83]

Nice love the video I have 2 1985 gr vert 5 speed carb and 1986 ttop gr 5 speed it has a Mis around 2500 to 3000 when cold driving me crazy

[@ivorwm2291]

I think that the gremlins get in Mustang Sally at the gas station and the grocery store. I picked up a couple of particularly nasty ones driving through a gutter filled with water. I've been trying to exorcise them for weeks. Keep after them. I learn so much from your videos. Thanks

[@ryanpatrick3347]

Car looked killer in the sunset. Have you switched computers with Andrews car just to rule that out. Or the computer grounds.

[@elmostong1865]

Just went thru something similar with my GT, turned out to be the fuel pump. Changed it, worked fine for a couple of days and took a crap again, now I gotta order one from the States and do the whole process again. Patience

[@rafaelvargas3371]

Can you make video showing how to wire an electric fan for foxbody.

[@graigorygilbert602]

House of Dula has a really good one and he also does a test to show how much air different electric fans pull.

[@mattkeen2237]

Hey man definitely check your little ground wire coming off the battery coming back to the body. I was having the same issues chased it for a long time ended up being that ground was not making a good connection it was an intermittent Miss. Car would run Gray when I first start it up then it would start missing I can shut it off restarted it would run great for a minute and then it would start Miss backfire popping through the intake I don't know it's an easy thing to check and it was a headache to find. I believe it's the computer ground.

[@black88lx]

Careful driving her with those bad ball joints brother. I had an 87 ttop that the lower ball joint ripped right out of the control arm one night while I was sideways 😂 little scary

[@florimshala1]

When are you painting my car half as good as this one . Awesome car brother

[@79chevy901]

Yes she’s looking good.

[@JM-tj2kl]

Have you tried swapping in a known good distributor? Have had a bad hall effect switch in the distributor cause my car to pop and misfire. Would run fine then out of no where start the popping then go away or if you got into the throttle it would do it. Chased that problem for a while and that's what it was. Swapped a in another distributor and ran like a champ.

[@stephenbryant2846]

Hey anyone that got some taillights for sale want some original lmr out i need some bad

[@ronnienewsome6668]

Just my thoughts wonder how loose the timing chain is so you might as well just throw the b cam and check it out my 90 fox coming along nicely I've been grinding on mine hard Bodywork a mofo but I want to be straight going black black on black on black lol

[@junnahak2070]

Star crunch and sweet tea 💯

[@dickiecornwell7262]

The car looks better and better on every video your channel is getting better and better all the time if that is anyway possible love your channel Thanks for another great video

[@ktga67ish]

I know you’re not huge on the computer stuff but I would love to see one of the Holley terminators on this 🦊

[@ylbershatku2463]

does your boy live with you?

[@kenb1918]

Man could I drop my 89 gt off to get some suspension work done?? I got like 10/15% of slop in the steering wheel. Jk. Love the content as always!

[@porkchop0316]

Have you tried a new coil?

[@trailerpark187]

I've had similar problems with my ignition module. Also it might sound dumb but a bad tack or anything in the coil pick up wiring could cause this problem. The green wire with yellow strip has a junction that goes to the ecm and the coil and to the tack. I've had those go bad too

[@cmd2789]

Those new 19lb injectors are a very good upgrade over stock 4 vs 1 hole, they atomize the fuel much better. I had the same problem before but it was the fuel pressure regulator, the ethanol ate the seals.

[@elvisblack5974]

What caster/camber plates did you go with?

[@elvisblack5974]

Never mind, I skipped one of your videos! 😂

[@yellowfoxbodyguy]

My son @ 13 will work for more video game time and lasagna. :)

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

☝️😂😂😂😂

[@bobfalfa76]

yellowfoxbodyguy Hell man I'll work for lasagna,lol

[@nealpurdy1202]

Nice job BREW2L suspension rebuild will really make car a joy to drive and those ball joints on a fox are crucial to avoid machining a trench in your new wheels car is looking awesome... Im wondering if there is an issue with distributor causing these random misfires... I hope its just a loose distributor.... I hope the issue is resolved soon...

[@trailerpark187]

Could be the ignition module

[@nealpurdy1202]

@@trailerpark187 usually tfi module failure leads to engine not running i was thinking more the integral cam position sensor built into the distributor

[@porkchop0316]

What's your opinion of tubular k member? I have all QA1 in my sn95 but my factory one broke about two weeks after I bought it

[@michaeldockery9937]

When you started the car in the video after the injector replacement, it kinda acted like the timing was high the way it kinda was slow at first to turn over.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

The battery is way too small for the car. But the timing could have been a touch high.

[@CombsTowerProductions]

Awesome Video Brew2l. Just ordered all new pads, rotors, and everything in between for my front brakes and now apparently I have a leak in the rear passenger side. I think it’s the wheel cylinder but we’ll see

[@bobfalfa76]

I'm sure you already know but MOOG is the way to go for factory replacement of bushings and front end parts. They've never let me down.

[@brandongamble1021]

the car looks good but finally got my payed off bringing it home Saturday

[@TrakSpock1]

Your car wasn't in your posession, and you weren't driving it while you were making payments?

I've got a Brandon!! Andrew is a hard working young man . You have done a good job!!!!

[@adamn5821]

Andrew no red shoes today?

[@BLACKKNIGHTMUSTANG]

Looking awesome Bro. Stang Life 🐎

[@champking20]

Hey brew! My 93 GT aod is having some issues! It redlines around 80mph?

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

The rpms are at redline at 80mph?

[@nealpurdy1202]

Ouch... Are you getting all 4 gears... Sounds like you lost over drive most likely a broken or disconnected tv cable..... This part is not optional.... The trans is dead if this is what happened. ... I spose you could have torque converter failure or trans pump. .... I hope im wrong but it sounds like trans issues

[@champking20]

BREW2L yes it is

[@champking20]

Neal Purdy it goes all the way into 3rd no problem, the tv cable is still connected.

[@nealpurdy1202]

@@champking20 some times the cable is connected but the plastic brakes.... It will shift into 3rd but will lose 4th(od) you may try to adjust tv cable to add more pressure but if it isnt going into 4th then you likely have a trans rebuild in your future.... Better yet install a junkyard 4r70w with an msd controller and an upgraded torque converter and shift kit for a real performance upgrade.... My condolences on your aod troubles if you are redlining at 80 you can kill your engine i did when i lost od in my aod....(rod knock)

[@67polara]

Do those have a timing chain? I've had sloppy ones cause issues before. Never owned a Ford.

[@michaelgarcia8973]

Yeah

[@topmodstv3682]

I have the engine out of mine right now beefing it up a little for the on3 kit. You have any techniques or strategies to clean the empty engine bay before I put it back in?

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Purple power and a pressure washer!

[@robertjones8231]

You know foxbodys, how hot should my water pump and thermostat get to the touch

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Very hot. Like can’t hold your hand there for more than 2 seconds or so.

[@robfate8781]

LOOKING GOOD.👍👍

[@graigorygilbert602]

Didn't see any wheel bearings with those parts. You planning on changing or repacking the ones in it?

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

I repacked the driver side. I’ll video the passenger side when I do it 👌

[@robertomelendez6013]

You may want to swap the map sensor to stop that popping

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Wasn’t the MAF.... 🤔I did try that😎

[@davedave2882]

Poop an pop😂 she's looking great! Those wheels are sweet!

[@jpp9846]

Always some good, useful info out here. 👌 I'm having a skip myself at cruising speeds (1800 RPMS) that really is chapping me. I'm down to a few things I still need to try. I hope you get that ironed out and can share. I certainly will share if I find it.
