hey when the TCT is going out will the car lose power? like i used to have a 5.0 stang, and when i would advance the dist. to far it would lose power and be super sluggish. it seems like my car does that automaticly now. just when im normally accelerating shifting around 3-4k. sometimes it doesnt want to move forward. sounds like it could be the TCT throwin the timing out of wack?

no power loss from bad TCT.

So far the tensioner is working perfectly!

Time to send out details so you can get a larger sample size on the test results.

Just changed my tensioner out today with a new one and it purrs like a kitten now. Glad it was just this little piece of junk.

On a side note, mine only did it when the car was warm and would do it up to 4K RPM.

so on that note, does a bad tct function normally under higher rpms, specifically in vtec?, i have to what one more week to replace mine, just curious if i should keep driving mine normally or if i should take it easy. i do keep the oil pressure where it needs to be

All,
It is my car that has the modified/sandblasted TCT from bill. I replaced my original last summer with a brand new from honda. The noise came back this year, bill threw in the modified TCT and she is like brand new again.

And for those who are currious I use Mobile 1 Full Synth all the time.

Thanks Again Billman!!!!!!
