I will check the pass side panel for "clicking", also, the clock dims out completely when I turn the key to "start", so I belive that means the starter is drawing a load, correct? I checked the connections on the starter, they seem to be in tip top shape, but I re-connected them anyway. Still...

My car won't turn over- as in, I have ignition power, but when I turn the key to the start position, nothing happens. No clicking, no nothing. When Im under the car, and my girl tries, I get no movement from the starter. This happened all of a sudden, just maybe 2 hours after I had driven it...

I believe the one from the mustang 5.0/ Lincoln 5.0 is a screw in style, whereas the oem is bolt on style. I happen to have a complete 5.0 SEFI with harness, sensors injectors and cpu. I belive (if I can find a weld in bung) that I will use one of those. Anybody know an auto parts place that...

I'll do a search for that less expensive, almost plug n play sensor and see what I can come up with. thanks guys

#1 Car is running very rich. Maybe o2 sensor. Local parts stores only have 1 wire replacements, mine has 3 wires. (it's an 88 turbo) Any suggestions aside from the dealer? #2 If I can't find one, how to splice a one wire into a 3 wire system (or if it's even possible) Thanks...

A lot of times, you can go into an autozone or something and they will have a display of dashboard covers. They usually are a company that can make custom fit ones.

Well my fan clutch just went out and it is hard to know if they go out because the only thing that happens is your car overheats. So if you have a clutch fan, have someone grab your fan while you start it, and it they can hold onto it with the engine running or cranking, then the clutch in your...

Hey guys, this is Xtreme's girlfriend and i have never written on here so bare with me. I'm supposed to be checking his post for him on the backfiring thing, but i can't find it. So He put that Zylean (sp) stuff in the tank to clean the fuel injectors and now it is running really rich and...

Dirgle: BOV vented to atmosphere? No. I know the consequences of the WHOOSH! :) my father mentioned the fact my timing could be slightly advanced, but I'm skeptical. I'll try retarding it slightly tomorrow. I am also going to try running it for a half hour or so on the freeway, maybe it'll...

Supraredliner: I have a very slight miss at idle- due to an exhaust valve being a little too tight. I have yet to really get on the throttle, but after I fixed my knock sensor wires, it seems to run fairly well. I am almost convinced I have a boost leak somewhere, as my gauge sits at -4 at...

My car backfires under deceleration. I cannot figure out why. First: No codes, had a code 52, which has been cleared. The car smells like it runs rich, so I put a multi meter on vf and e1, at idle, it shows 0.17? I had heard that you want to see 2.5v or somewhere around there. I just...

Zylene works. But Everyone told me that it would, so no surprise there. I still have knock sensor issues, so I am going to rewire them again (maybe I'll get it right) although it's not that complicated, I may have inadvertantly screwed up, and pulled a wire off or something. In any event, the...

had the same problem 2 days ago, it turned out to be the upper water line going from the turbo to the thermostat housing, it rotted at the hose clamp. I replaced it (took 10 min) haven't had a leak there yet. Try to take your hoses off one at a time and look for cracks or brittleness...

I agree with you, Adjuster. Since I am part of the family painting business, I get good discounts on paint supplies, and the Xylene hardly costs anything. I also know Xylene's properties, as extended peroids of use the last time I used it melted my rubber gloves. :) Good stuff. Anyways, I...

You don't really need any "special" tools at all. And you don't need a floor jack or jackstands to replace the timing belt. just pull your timing cover off, exposing your cam pulleys, unhook the tensioner spring, loosen the tensioner, take the belt off and put the new one on, then put it all...

Ok, so I got all my work done in Portland this week, my girl was driving the car, and the fan clutch went out, with the resulting running hot. At least she pulled over and called me. So I duct taped it tight, and drove home that way. (at least it didn't overheat) *L* So anyways, I have a...

Okay, another update, car runs pretty good, now and I figured out how to adjust the tps, so Im gonna do that like right now. then maybe try to adjust the air/fuel mix and get my idle back inline. The car starts kinda hard, it takes a couple of tries to get it to fire, but that might be the...

Okay, searched, and going to do the SOGI ks rewire here in a minute, as soon as I get my printer online(its a piece of crap) I will attempt to adjust my tps, but the speed sensor thing? All I can find on that is kinda vague, any explanations would be welcome. Thanx -X Alright, I got rid...

well, my check engine light came on while driving again, and now I have code 42, 51 AND 52 so I'll try to clear those. Funny thing is, when I start my car, the light isn't on. It just comes on after driving for a while. But I'll search for causes for the codes and try to fix them.
