bad motor or bad shop help me out ?

[NavySVO]

One more thing....is the exhaust plugged up..........?

EDIT-this is really getting into the TECH section area

[paythedealerfull]

i dont see if the how the exsahust would be plugged i have a down pipe and turbo mufflers but maybe something dyed in their ill keep that in consideration.

sorry if its starting to look like a tech tread the monitors can move it if they like .

i just thought i was going to get more comments on the shop suggestions

[svobrown]

I bet your off one tooth on the cam. Again. start for the begining and find the problem.
The TC I had did not match up on the marks of the pointer. I set it alittle past the pointer and all was well.

Check for a restriction in the exhaust pipe ( bent) or a clogged up cat.

i havent seen the mainifold glow yet althought the radiator hoses feel warmer then they should and always feel filled like the thermastate isnt working .

the car doesnt get drove much infact ive owned thecar 3 moths and only put 40 miels on it b4 the problems started and its been in the shop ever since

I've seen this monster before --

the car would idle perfectly, as soon as you hit the gas, it tries to die, but if you 'milk' it you can get it going ---

The VAM is either stuck, or unplugged.

Check the tube between the VAM / air filter box and the turbo inlet opening. It might be split open or not secured tightly enough?

PLEASE HELP

i just got back from the shop and heres the results the gear on the bottom of the distributer is grinded in peices(again) and so new auxilary shaft i bough off a member here is also eaten to peices (again) this is the 2nd time this has happend is somethinhg not lined up or what??
since the dizzy gear is only eaten on one side it leads me to belive the auxliary shaft is working but just not turning the dizzy if the . what is connected to the auxilary shaft that might tthrow it off??

Check out some local mustang clubs. The Diablo Valley Mustang club is in your area and has several SVO owners who may be willing to help you find the problem.

I would try to contact the club vise just looking at the pictures and MEMBER'S CARS section. If PAT says there are SVO guys there, then there probably are.

SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND...........

[SVOeric]

had this motor been rebuilt, and did they use a high volume oil pump ?

[paythedealerfull]

yes i have recipts for a performanve rebuild from 1998 i dont know the actual miles since then but i was told it was not driven much since the rebuild approx 12k-15k miles

[SVOeric]

High volume oil pumps in these engines are a bad thing --

#1, it's overkill -- the stock oiling system is good for all but the wildest levels of performance.

#2 it increases the amount of pressure on the aux-shaft, and distributor shaft gears, until they fail --

You have 2 options --
Esslinger makes a billet aux shaft, with bronze gear for the distributor that should be strong enough to keep from breaking these things all the time.
OR
Replace the oil-pump. (and aux shaft, and dist gear again)

If you aren't running a high volume oil pump, the problem could be elsewhere (distributor wear). Search through the recipts, and let us know what kind of oil pump was used.

svoeric u make alot of sence !!!

thats sounds like a very logical explanation . how will know if its a stock or performance oil pump if im unable to find the recipte?

whats eazer to do ? buy the upgraded aux shaft or replace w/ stock part s??

That's a good question, and to be honest, I can't think of a way to tell while the oilpan is still on the engine.

well -- depending on what the gears look like that came out, you should really pull the oil-pan if there were teeth missing. Those teeth had to go somewhere...
If you are pulling the oil pan, swapping the pump isn't that much more work.

It may be cheaper to replace the pump as well. The billit, and bronze stuff from esslinger ain't cheap!

[paythedealerfull]

yeah i have a feeling im gonna bit the builit and have them take the oil pan down any ways cause i dont likt the idea of the meteal peices being in the oil pan. after that they can inspect it the motor better.

im on my way back to the shop to to look at the recipts and see if theirs any other exxplanation?

why would it take the motor 15k miels to break the aux shaft/dissy gear and then only take 20 miels to do it again??
untill tomarrow thanks guys
