Hi am new to this forum i really dont drive a mustang (wish i could afford one) but i have two awesome fords a SHO Auto, and a 1969 Ford Torino 428 4 speed. Well anyways back to my post. My buddy has a 03 V-6 today we put on a zex Nitrous kit and a air fuel ratio meter, Then the check engine light came on. we might of had the key on with no mass air i dont think it will do anything just trying to let you guys know everything. Then we get everything hooked up and we start the car and the light comes on (the bottle will be empty till tommorow) is there any way i can reset it or what should i do and is the zex a good kit, we also ordered Cold air and i am doing a TB for him. Also is there anyway to check the codes on an obd II Thanks for the help

Its a 1993 Red ATX with a Mass Air, Exhaust, Shift Kit, and thats it for now looking to rebuild motor and stuff like that. Also how do you clear the codes in the computer we are going to go to Autozone and have them check it out

Try disconnecting the battery for about 20 minutes or so. That hopefully will get rid if it. The only thing ive heard about the ZEX kits are you have to pay close attention to that solenoid box I hear the tend to stick open at times. Good luck with it. Keep us posted!
what lloyd said about clearing it.... i have a mass air and ted b chip and flows and a k&n in the stock box which is enlarged.... i can sqwak 2nd in my stock atx....lol

Do you think it will be fine if we upgrade fuel pump and possibly the injectors or with a 55 shot do i have to really worry (bought Zex cause of my SHO they cant use wet kits) i know different beast and all but i heard they were good.

WTF?!?!? Can't use wet??
Man, you should be able to use wet on almost any car. If you're carbed, you can use it. If you're EFI, wether you have a fuel return line or not, you can use wet.
Fuel pump should be fine, but also, install an air/fuel gauge. You DON'T want it to get any leaner than MAYBE 12.0:1. Saturns are happy and healthy at 11:1 ish on the juice (for daily drivers that use it occasionally).
I'm damned curious as to why you can't use a wet kit....

Go to the forum and ask every body else you cant use a wet kit on a sho because the intake was never designed to handle fuel it gets to cylinders 5 and 6 and it just puddles until the valve opens and you ending up killing a valve. the only way you can run a wet kit on it is if you do the 6 individual nozzles in the six primary runners.

I know what you mean w/out the picture.....a direct port.
The reason I ALWAYS reccomend a wet kit (even when you're new to it) is becuase it doesn't rely upon the stock fuel system to keep from going lean, which usually can't cope SAFELY with the added power. The wet kits take care of it themselves. Just follow jetting instructions.

I would normally go with you on that but it was for a guy who is a real moron and i think zex has a safety in it where if the vacuum isn't there from the manifold it wont shoot. Also the SHO intake cant handle wet kit and worse of all the automatics cant handle anything sorry if i made you feel inferior to me, you probably know more than me (you bought a mustang and i bought a expensive maintance sho) but just wanted to show you what i meant.
