    Engine Intake And Throttle Body Questions

    I'm planning on dropping my explorer 5.0 into my 94 mustang and have a few questions. The engine has already been converted for use with a fox body, but I yanked the engine from my fox before I sold the car. It's standard gt40 heads and intake not gt40P, tfs1 cam, and scorpion 1.6 pedestal...

    oil pressure questions

    An interesting problem is starting to develop on my '01 Bullitt with 110k miles. Immediately after I start the engine in the morning the oil pressure gauge goes up to its normal position then the needle drops all the way down, appearing as if I've lost all oil pressure. The needle will stay down...

    Maintenance Recommendations

    rough idle

    I have a 94 GT with about 154,000 miles on it. When I'm at a stop, the car idles pretty rough to the point that I can feel the car shaking.

    Idle hangs when coming to a stop

    I have an 01 Bullitt with 97k miles. As I'm coming to a stop, sometimes my idle will hang and the engine will sound a lot louder. Is this a symptom of a bad IAC?

It has about 136k miles on the odometer, everything is stock and original. I checked vacuum and I'm getting...

    With my 93 2.3 Notch, I noticed on a cold engine, while accelerating, all my power cuts out and the gas pedal essentially stops responding. If I keep trying to press on the gas pedal, the engine will die completely and I'll have to put the car in park and restart the engine. If I let off the...

    replacing spark plugs on 93 2.3 w/DIS?

    I just picked up a 93 2.3 Notch. It has about 109,000 miles on it and runs a little rough. I've never worked on a 2.3, always working on the 5.0. Anyways, I'd like to replace the plugs and wires, but how the heck do you get to the spark plugs? It looks like the Intake manifold is in the...
