Gotta love diagnosing an issue where you get zero information other than "It won't run right - Please fix it". I go through basic troubleshooting on this 88-501 Saleen Foxbody Convertible that has a fresh motor with Trick Flow 170's and a Kenne Bell Flowzilla supercharger. This isn't the first time I have had issues with a Megasquirt setup and probably won't be the last! I am just glad I managed to solve the problem!

It's your continued excellence that reminds me what a solid decision to enroll in membership really is. I thoroughly enjoy the time spent and both the education and inspiration is priceless Chris.

Love the video. I noticed my oil level on my Mustang also reads high on the dipstick. I have 5 quarts in it and it’s way over the fill line like the one in your video. So do I leave the 5 quarts or drain a quart.?

@jasonthompson8479 5 месяцев назад

@@boatdoctor100 There is a FORD bulletin for that just like some years of engines had the wrong dipstick in them to disregard the marks and make you own reference mark once filled from empty and the correct amount of oil is put in. I will try and look it up after the hustle of the holidays. But there is no way to send pics here is there?!

Loving the Megasquirt stuff

@elementl1166 5 месяцев назад

Sweet looking Saleen. Those Stern wheels are timeless classics. Great trouble shooting work - too bad the Megasquirt was at fault. I run one on my ‘93 Cobra (twin turbo Dart 347) and it was a bit of a learning curve but it’s a solid ECU with a lot of capability. Although not as common, ECU’s do occasionally fail. I once had to fix a shorted trace on an EEC - that was a bear to pinpoint but a little soldering and she was good to go.

Ok so this has to be one of your most interesting videos. It definitely made me realize how little I know about cars.

@jessemas27 5 месяцев назад

That is a gorgeous car. I would have bet money on bad injectors after the compression test came back good. Great work sticking with it. I'd like to see inside the ecm to see if one of the capacitors is leaking.

Love watching your videos. I'm in the Detroit area. Your garage is my dream garage lmao. Awesome collection of foxbodys!!!

@MustangWes 5 месяцев назад

Foxbodies came with two style dipsticks from factory some that had 5 qt at the arrow and some that had 5qt at the word FULL. If you have both disticks you can set the side by side with oil on the from the engine and its wi be both the same

Beautiful car! Love the colorway on it!

@ogsuperflygarage 6 месяцев назад

Good display of troubleshooting skills! Well you know I think of MegaSquirt. I had to remove it from the Rustic Fox and install the stock computer for it to run properly... So I feel you pain Brother!

Ya man megacrap LMAO.

This is the reason i drive 200 miles one way to have Chris ( infamous project) work on my cars.The last shop had car for 6 months and put endless amount of hours trying to fix my car but to no avail . I gave up and shipped car to Chris. Never mind plug wires crossed and wrong plugs . BE VERY SELECTIVE WHO YOU LET WORK ON YOUR CAR .

Sand Beige interior looks fantastic on a Saleen...and it's pretty rare.

Another Great Job ..Thanks for the great video👍

@jamierobinson6642 6 месяцев назад

That was great you had another pimp xs to try. I didnt have great luck with the megasquirt ms3 or ms2, whichever it was so I went back to the stock a3m and the car runs great. Glad to see you got that saleen running correctly !

@TheInfamousProject 5 месяцев назад

Yep I am a huge advocate for the factory computers unless you have some crazy build you're trying to squeeze out every bit of power

You should get a 90s towncar I would love to see that LoL

@elliottbutts153 5 месяцев назад

Great job as always. Great looking car. Don’t see to many tan tops and it really looks great. Be careful on the oil level according to the dipstick. After doing the first LOF on mine when I got the car almost 6 years ago I noticed it was very high on the stick after refilling to 5 quarts. Did a bunch of research at the time and found many others having the same issue. So on mine 5 qrts comes right to the “F” on the word FULL which has the arrow going down to the full hash mark. So if you didn’t know any better you would think it’s about 1.5 quarts over full. But it’s not.

@MustangWes 5 месяцев назад

Remove all the oil from the engine and put 5 qt in with a new filter and u will see the dip fill line.for some foxes is at the F and some dilsticks are at the arrow. I own two fox bodies learned this a few weeks ago.

Hi Chris, what are your thoughts on the kenne bell SC, I was debating on installing one in my 90 GT w/o smog and a/c.

@TheInfamousProject 5 месяцев назад

@timezone4907 5 месяцев назад

Can those computers be repaired or is that not cost effective?

@AwakeDude911 5 месяцев назад

11:00 did this step like 150 times still wouldn't run right stock heads shorter stock plugs/ alum heads longer plugs took me 2 months to figure that out ..what ever the heads are the manufacture will give you the best plugs that works with them heads if you ask then. Its NEVER STOCK PLUGS in alum heads !!! my issue was injectors were firing but they were stuck OPEN flooding some cylinders ... in the computers the compositors and boards carack as they move all the time in the car ..company that rebuilt mine in FL says about 20 yrs and all compositors will leak or crack open .mine a used A9L in a box sitting waiting for the right project 14 yrs had issues .... .pop that computer open lets take a look ??

@jayandmargie 5 месяцев назад

When it comes to spark plugs, it’s best to check with the manufacturer of your cylinder heads. Using a wedge shape based plug with cylinder heads that are intended to use plugs with crush washers, can actually damage the cylinder head. Attached is a pretty good video explaining considerations for spark plugs. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rTP8-LEtBg0.html&si=Jtn2KpnQtt6ZXnJb
