More HP please

On Board Data monitoring 2[OBD2] is just a standardized system that all vehicle's sold in the United States had to have. Most vehicle's already had these systems in place. It was just a way to get every manufacturer on the same page. What this system entails is an input/output computer that gets input from six sensors[or variants of], process the input information and the output commands to the fuel injectors and ignition timing to keep your vehicle as close to stoichmetric operation[14.7:1 air:fuel ratio] as possible. This provides maximum power while producing the least amount of hydrocarbons in the exhaust. Your vehicle, almost certainly has all of these systems in place already. The input sensors are either a Mass Air Flow [MAF]/Intake Air Temperature sensor combination or a Manifold Absolute Pressure[MAP] sensor, Throttle Position Sensor[TPS], Engine Coolant Temperature[ECT] sensor, Upstream Oxygen sensor[O2 sensor], Crankshaft Position Sensor[CKP], and the Camshaft Position Sensor[CMP]. Anyway, if you are after more horsepower, I am the person to talk to. I, myself, have a supercharged 1997 Ford Mustang GT, and am a big fan of Detroit muscle. With an engine that has a lot of miles of it, I would recommend getting a tune on it. This is where you have the fuel and ignition maps on your Power-train Control Module[PCM], or input/output computer, rewritten to take out safety margins that the vehicle manufacturer had originally programmed into it. This alone can be worth somewhere around 50 h.P. The next choice, but not recommended on a high mileage engine would be to get a performance camshaft and install it. A lot of times this will involve replacing the camshaft along with getting a tune, depending on how high of performance camshaft you get. It will also include having to install stronger valve springs and retainers as well. This is good, depending on the camshaft and tune combination for around 50 - 90 h.P. Lastly, and I absolutely do not recommend doing this with a high mileage engine, would be forced induction. This is either supercharging or turbocharging. Turbocharging offers more h.P. As it uses exhaust to spin the compressor wheel and supercharging utilizing the engine's crankshaft and a belt to spin the compressor wheel/blades to compress the intake air. You will also need either a tune or a fuel management system upgrade with this option as well. This is by far the option that provides the biggest h.P. Gain, around 100 - 500 h.P, even upwards of 1,000 h.P. Can be gained from forced induction. The trade off is if it is done to a non healthy, high mileage engine, it will cause catastrophic engine failure. An engine has to built for forced induction, upgrades like forged aluminum piston, chrome molly piston rings, H-beam connecting rods, forged crankshaft, forged valves, etc. To withstand the extra pressure that the engine will placed under Please get back to us with what you decide to do and how everything turns out.

Hello again,

Okay, so it's not starting? An engine needs only three things to start. In no particular order they are fuel, spark[at the proper time], and compression. The first thing I would recommend checking for is spark. Here is a link below explaining how to check for spark:

Please go through this guide and get back to us with what you find out. We can go from there.
