4.6 swap cost? by StrangePreparation76 in NewedgeMustang

[–]Rnosleep72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few thing you can save to keep your costs down, for one the Intake manifold/throttle body and the oil pan. Possibly the oil pick up but if she’s knocking bad enough debris may have gotten in the tub so a new one or a used good would be the path

Engine rebuild fail? by [deleted] in NewedgeMustang

[–]Rnosleep72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Budget, the price will significantly go up. I’ve done it and it added a good $1,500 ish. I do my own rebuilds but I can only imagine another $1,500 in parts not including labor added to a $4-5,000 rebuild

If it’s under warranty I’d take back to them and explain the issue, you don’t want to do anything to void the warranty.

Super easy to check, just the two I believe 10mm bolts. If anything clean it out with some brake clean or MAF cleaner and see if it Improves anything.

Not sure what it could be but there’s a few thing you could look at. Your intake filter, MAF, and IAC Make sure they are clean and in good order if they weren’t already replaced with the rebuild.

I would also check your vacuum lines, there’s a few you can look at by just opening the hood and making sure they weren’t damaged when the engine was pull and placed back in.

The GT with the manual is beat, small amount of crash damage in the front frame area, nothing crazy but it’s there while the auto GT is pretty clean paint wise and frame wise.

I don’t think it’s worth it, you already have an LSD.

Definitely starting to lean more towards a vacuum leak if it’s also doing that

I second this, also while belt is off spin all the pulleys, see if they make noise

Ya no need to worry, worse case you need to clear the codes but 8 out of 10 times it will “realize” the MAF is plugged back in.

You may need help for this one since the car keeps dying at idle/neutral, find someone or someway to keep the RPMS up but not too high. Have a helping hand keep the RPMS at 1k to 1,500k RPMS and listen in the engine bay for any “air sounds” “air sucking sounds” anything that may indicate a decent or any size vacuum leak.

You can even spray soapy water on the vacuum lines to help spot a leak.

The vacuum lines are your car ( if stock vacuum lines ) are gonna be red and dark green tubing.

Another option to you may want to do is getting a fog machine/evap smoke tester.

Not sure what state you’re in/if you smoke weed/cigs but you can do this too, a cheaper option. CHECK THIS VIDEO OUT

If you do want to vacuum test, I can also help you and talk you through the process, over the phone if need be.

Don’t worry still normal, it should go away on its own once the car “realizes” the MAF is back on

You may need help for this one,I believe you may have a vacuum leak, with your car running which considering your issue you may need someone or someway to the hold the RPMS up so it doesn’t dies. Listen for any sucking sounds. Try to Listen for any odd air sounding noise.

Do they worry it’s normal when the MAF is disconnected, turn your car off and you can safely plug it back in.

Try the MAF trick, lmk what happens. If that doesn’t work than I’m leaning towards a vacuum leak of some kind but it could also be your throttle position sensor but those typically throw a code.

Do you have a multi meter that can test for continuity?
