The vss code could be the actual sensor is bad. The stalling when coming to a stop could be an indicator of it as well. The vss keeps the idle raised in neutral when coming to a stop, once youre under I think 5 mph then it returns it to regular idle, can't recall the exact reason why it does that at the moment, but that's the basic normal operation of it. The wiring at the connector on the trans harness is a good place to look as well, wire coating gets cracked there from repeated removal of manual transmissions. But as usual, good rundown buddy.
I appreciate your honesty and videos very much. I have a 93 original notch back SSP that was never put in service. Thanks so much for your time to make the videos , very helpful. Jim. God Bless.
I sure do miss my Stang exhaust note at times.... i watched (listened mostly) to this while on the way home in my daily commuter car ...(Mazda 3 2016) and that car is quiet....so while you're driving and explaining things ...(and I don't have a subwoofer) even the factory door speakers give some clue as to how nice a V8 fox sounds....😊
Great video. The shakedown is the most important part. For the amount of work you did, you came up really good. Really good work! Sometimes the work is good and there are still significant problems.
You mentioned this car was converted over to MAF, and that you re-pinned some wires. Your getting a VSS code. VSS wires should go to pins #3- VSS+, #6- VSS -. You also need to ground pin #19 Fuel pump monitor. Without this pin grounded, it won't go into KOER test. It will kick out of test mode. Also the pins for the TAB/TAD solenoids need moved. Pin #11 needs to go to pin #32, and pin #51 needs to move to pin #38. Now you may need to switch pins #32 and #38 if they are backwards. As for the speedometer not working, check the to see if the cable jacket was melted from the exhaust. It may have broken the drive cable inside. I think it still has a mechanical cable drive. If not then the VSS is wired wrong or broken. Good luck.
Glad you got the steering noise sorted. I have a shaft with a UJ rather than the rag joint and find that it transmits a fair bit more noise. If you want to delete the EGR valve, I bought mine from Western Motorsports 😉
That is a great looking car, very nice on all the repairs, now she is a excellent for daily driving, great job Gary, as far as the EGR codes really not that important to how it runs.
Hi Gary. Wow, for a first drive shake down, you really did make out like a bandit. Way to go. Is that the stock steering wheel? It kinda looks like an SVO wheel. Anyway, another terrific video.
Since you made sure that all of your followers, including myself noticed your new rack and pinion in your last video. I had to get one myself. I will be sure to pay attention to the sway bar link bushings as you pointed out. I will be using a new pump and line. Is that all I need?
Hey buddy! LOL sorry, I didn't mean to cost you any money. If you are already set up with power steering, then yes: new pump, high pressure line, and a low pressure return line and you'll be good to go. And yes, make sure those end links are in good shape and are the correct length 👍
Spin the cable counterclockwise at the VSS and figure which way the Speedo problem is. If it’s trans side look in to see the trans speedo drive gear is still centered. If not it could be a newer T5 without the clip provision allowing it to walk towards the tail shaft.
Awesome vid as usual…curious on what you find on the PS. Pandora1 had a noise pump we replaced with a new one and still she’s noisy. I’ll be watching. (Watched till the end and heard your answer on the pump) Cheers~🔥🫶🏻🏴☠️
ive been fightin a surge upon first startup w mine. im at my witts end w it now. going through there was so many bad parts it was insane. it has gotten slightly better but its still running like pure sh$#. i pulled out my infrared thermometer and noticed 1 and 2 running much cooler than all the rest. hopefully its just clogged injectors and nothing crazy. when i got it the car had sat for a long time. funny thing is it runs like it has a cam in it but i was told it doesnt have one. i dont know how accurate that statement is neither. the other thing is it seems like it does have a misfire to it at idle. when you give it to it though it seems ok to an extent. im pulling plugs tomorrow and doing a compression test and see what happens. im about over this stupid thing though tbh. there have been so many problems i have had to fix and chase down thus far its literally insane. good job keeping that one on the road. the one i have is a real pita and seems to not want to be on the road.
Hey Gary, love the video as usual. I have a 1990 Black GT that I've been slowly "restoring" (or fixing someones past erreors really) and I have a question regading your power steering rack. Which rack did you go with and from where? I've looked at Amazon, Summit, LMR and every rack seems to have a bunch of both positive and negative reviews. I figured since you've already done the work and tested yours and know it's good you could give me a recommendation? Thanks.
Turns out i was getting a code for egr and my solenoid plug in connection was flipped. However still egr code in my hatch now there is two exact plug ins for the solenoid, wdyt? Which one. Cant find anything on google

Thanks pal and thanks for sharing the knowledge as well 👊

Hi Jim. Wow that sounds like an amazing car! Thank you very much for the kind words my friend.
Great advice!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey man, thanks for the video. Nice running into you in chilliwack. Peace ✌️.
Hey buddy! Yes absolutely!! Great to chat with you as well and thanks for stopping by 👊. AND beautiful car as well 👌

LOL thats awesome!
Gary! Finally bought a Fox. 90 GT convertible. Needs some love and is an automatic but has a lot of potential.
Hell yeah buddy! Congratulations!!!
Excellent video as always great tips my friend.
Great video. The shakedown is the most important part. For the amount of work you did, you came up really good. Really good work! Sometimes the work is good and there are still significant problems.
Thanks buddy! Yes so true
Car is coming along nicely. Happy New year!!
Thanks, you too!

I used Royal Purple power steering fluid on my Recent Reman install. No Noise! I may have gotten lucky with it, too!
Interesting - I know they recommend ATF but 🤷♂️
Great video I always learn something new watching. But sometimes my car breaks me down simply 😅
Haha - thanks pal!

If you want to delete the EGR valve, I bought mine from Western Motorsports 😉
LOL yessir - they're my go to as well 😉
That's what it is air bubble. When I replace mine did the same thing for a week.
That is a great looking car, very nice on all the repairs, now she is a excellent for daily driving, great job
Gary, as far as the EGR codes really not that important to how it runs.
Thanks buddy! Yes good point 👍
Hi Gary. Wow, for a first drive shake down, you really did make out like a bandit. Way to go. Is that the stock steering wheel? It kinda looks like an SVO wheel. Anyway, another terrific video.
Thx sir! It’s definitely an aftermarket wheel however the current owner inherited it so we are unsure of the back story

I have the same code scanner and might have to hit you up to explain some codes. 🙏🏼
Sounds good sir

Yeah I think I lucked out buddy. Good luck with yours

Those mac backs sounds good, close to the dynomax super turbos. What ever happen to the dynamax super turbo's?
Agreed! To be honest I'm not sure either?
You have a bad speed sensor causing code 29 and inoperative speedometer if the wiring is good . 😊
Where is that fender cover when working on her?! Lol!
LOL - I'm softer then any fender cover 😉
What's the hose coming off the back of the egr? Is it hooked to vacuum?
Which brake system did you use on the rear

Hey bud! This one came from LMR. I’ve also got them from CJ pony parts as well. I have not had any issues with either of them 👍
@@KASLCustoms Thamks a lot, I appreciate the response, putting my LMR order in today.
Need some new stainless tail pipes !!
Turns out i was getting a code for egr and my solenoid plug in connection was flipped. However still egr code in my hatch now there is two exact plug ins for the solenoid, wdyt? Which one. Cant find anything on google
Are you located in Florida by chance?
No sorry - west coast
Those aftermarket pumps are trash and loud even compared to normal ford whine
FIRST!!!
