LQ9/4L80E Mustang Fox First Start I haven't really made a build thread because there isn't really anything special about it just a '86 Fox with a stock LQ9 and 4L80E that'll be getting some nitrous soon. Anyways after battling crank but no start issues for about 2 hours I finally traced the problem down. I took the advice from other people on here after doing a search and tapped the injectors a little, soaked them in seafoam for 30mins and then put power to each one by hand to make sure it was opening. Worked like a charm and upon putting them all back in we got fire!

Motor is all stock except for long tubes, the only reason it sounds so mean is because it's still open headers, lol. The converter is stock from a 1 ton van, my goal was just to get it all functioning as I pretty much put this car together from nothing, once I've got it running and driving I'll start with the mods.

Sure I've got plenty of pics, the body isn't fully assembled yet, but it is all painted, I just haven't put it together... been holding off until I'm done with most of the work in the engine bay.
Car started out like so:
Stripped it down:
Fixed some rust:
Cleaned up the floorboards and painted:
Fresh paint:
