What happened to fordfuelinjection.com ?

If this has been answered here already, I apolgoize for starting a new thread. I searched and did not find mention of it.

If you go here: www.fordfuelinjection.com

You get:

You have reached a domain that is pending ICANN verification.

As of January 1, 2014 the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will mandate that all ICANN accredited registrars begin verifying the Registrant WHOIS contact information for all new domain registrations and Registrant contact modifications.

Why this domain has been suspended
Email address has not been verified.
This is a new domain registration and the Registrant email address has not been verified.

or
The Registrant contact data for this domain was modified but still requires verification.
Specifically the First Name, Last Name and/or email address have been changed and never verified.

If you're the site owner, reactivate your site
Click the link in the email
and your contact information will be immediately verified. We estimate the site will come back online within 24 to 48 hours.

Frequently asked questions
Why was my domain suspended?
ICANN requires that the domain registrant's contact information or changes to the registrant's WHOIS information be verified within 15 calendar days. If the data is not verified in this timeframe, ICANN mandates that the website be suspended pending the verification.

How can I remove the suspension on my domain?
The suspension of the domain will be removed after the WHOIS information is successfully verified. Please update the WHOIS information with complete and accurate contact details through your domain service provider. Once updated you will recieve a new verification email.

Once the suspension is removed, when will my website come back online?
We estimate it may take 24 to 48 hours for the website to come back online.

Who is ICANN?
ICANN is responsible for the coordination of the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers and, in particular, ensuring its' stable and secure operation. ICANN maintains policies and specifications for registrars and registrants to abide by.

What is WHOIS?
WHOIS services provide public access to data on registered domain name holders. Registered Name Holders are required to provide accurate and reliable contact details to their Registrar to update WHOIS data for a Registered Name.

Somebody said that Ford made them remove some of the material because it was copyrighted. . They went on for a while as Oldfuelinjection.com -- which now seems to have the same notice that you described. The site owner probably just quit.

I think that there was some other way to access their info -- old web pages that you could somehow get to, but I don't know.

They had a lot of useful info, but companies do have to make a buck and tech info is a profit area.

You're right, it did switch to oldfuelinjection.com

Wow, I really miss that site. I never copied and pasted the info, I just used what was online. Now that it's gone I miss it! If anybody has that info, PM me, I'd love a copy.

I HOPE THE SITE COMES BACK, I donated to the site when it was active.

Go to www.archive.org to get copies of old websites. The archive search and retrieval engine is very slow and the archive usually isn't 100% complete, but you can dig up an incredible amount of information from old websites.

That was a good site.
Another one like that is SBFtech. I just tried it and my browser seemed scared, so I backed out.

Looks like this one is defunct now too:
