Well TY all for the help.. looks like we are at a stand still until he comes up with money...

My friend is looking for a 05-2012 mustang it must be a white convertible... nothing else matters v6 or v8 its for his wife's b-day. Please let me know if you know of any for sale and if you have one let me know. Ty

ok not cylinder 2. He has no compression in 2 cylinders if that makes a difference on determining what the problem is??..

let's hope that the piston didn't melt. Lol looks like I picked the appropriate heading this post. I wish I could convince him into buy a crate motor..

Ok... so he brought it to the garage to get the injectors cleaned.. mechanic tells him there is no compression in cylinder2. He said there's no way to tell why and tells him to replace or resurface the head. Can't he do a leak test to find out ?

Timing was set by a garage.

Hey I appreciate any and all advice I'm getting. It's all helpful TY all

You are correct on the A9S is a California version... What I can't seem to find is wether the A9S is for a manuel or a auto transmission. Would this cause a problem with the proformance of the car using a A9S ECU instead of the A9L ECU? :confused: not even my car and I have a headache over it!

He said he changed the ECU but NOT a A9L but to a A9S...no chip..

I believe he changed the ECU I am waiting for him to get back to me. fingers cross bad U-Joint..

I don't have any yet I will try to get pic up soon.. thanks prjct for keeping an eye out. I been looking still nothing ... about to part out everything..

Fuel filter changed last year when he put in a new fuel pump. I will tell him to check on the fuel pressure... hopefully we figure this out soon..

Spark plugs are good and wired correct everything was double checked there.. Injectors were one of the things we thought also have yet to change them. I am still thinking the balancer spun like The TunerGuy said... We are just changing out the cheaper and easy things first. Later today...

Ok update no codes. looking into it further seems that noise we keep hearing is only while it's in gear. Could this be cause by a bad U-joint??? Would a bad U-joint cause the car to lose power and make pinging sound??:mad:

He has exhaust done flowmaster. Transmission from auto to a T5. Problems started a week after new transmission. When first put in car was great. Now it doesn't have the power it did.no check engine lights but he's still gonna check codes tomorrow just incase . I told him it might have been the...

He also has what seems to have a loss of power I found this out driving with him tonight. It used to roast them now it doesn't really seem like the power is all there.

Went through a few tanks now only 93 octane ran in the car. Timing is set at 10 degrees, no lights on but maybe dash light isn't working.. I told him to check for codes.

Timing has been set 2 times now. Yesterday was the 2 nd time. Plugs and wires last night also.

My friend has a 89 5.0. and it pings when accelerating ... he changed plugs, wires,cap and rotor, set timing but still pings also kind of hesitates when accelerating any idea of what to check next??????:smash:
