So what did you find out? Didn't sound like it was going to be that easy to fix at the party.

I didn't think it would be, but it was. I had a broken distributor cap. Just slightly cracked. New cap.. new car.. So Linda's here and will be next Saturday. Let's do lunch!

I'll go if mine is back up. Went for a short drive yesterday and it developed a weird miss between 1,500 and 2,500.

Check the distributor cap. It worked wonders for me.. besides.. according to Weather.com it's going to rain again this weekend. That SUX..

It did it once before on the way back from the Pav one night. it was a few days before I could try it out and the miss was gone so I never figured it out.
I have another EFI harness so I might just try swapping out some of the sensors and see if that does it.

Good luck. If you need help, let me know. I know a good mech who specializes in electronic issues.

Try giving your spark plug wires, distributor cap, and distributor a good shot of WD40. Could very well be a moisture problem.

Good idea karl. It runs well past 3K and idles OK, it's just in that little range that it's giving problems.
Tanks Dan. I need to eventually get it to a 5.0 type shop and have it dyno'd and tweaked. Just need to have to have the spare $$s

Tim, Spoooky, has Anthem or Spf asked you to show your car at Barrett Jackson in the Booth? It would make a fine example.

Bob,
No not yet at Barrett Jackson but Charlie did talk a bit about it at the party. The car has been at a few things they have done already. Last was an event for High Line Auto magazine.

How do we sign up for the dyno? Contact Anthem? My car doesn't have a lot of ponys to start with so I'd like to make sure I'm getting everything I can.

Wolverine,
Dyno day may not be the best place for real tuning due to the shared attention with other cars.
I just used XACT dyno (Tim) for my tune (534 HP at the rears). He has a dyno that bolts in place of the wheels, negating the need for weight/tiedowns and eliminating tire slip on rollers. Tim is a very experienced tuner and did me right at 2 hours time (he did not charge for set-up, etc...).

Contact Anthem and they will put you on the list. I spoke to them today and they plan to do it monthly. Not sure how many they are going to run in a day but it should be fun and safe. Also found out the my Cobra will be in the Roush booth at Barrett-Jackson all that week. Their # is 623-879-0930.

my tune (534 HP at the rears
Holy Crap...that is a ton of HP at the rears...want to see that thing go from 0 to 100 and back to 0?:eek:

I had a small miss lower rpms and found a slightly burned spark plug wire near the header. Fixed that a away we went.

Tim, Spoooky, I'll keep a watchful eye on your car at the Shelby/SPF/Roush/Anthem display. I will probably be in the booth Thurs and Friday representing Superformance.org. Stop in, stay a while, say hi. You will find yourself very welcome there.
