My Expedition most likely has a bent intake valve (zero compresion on #5 and air comes out the intake on a leak down test). I am ready to remove the head but I had a question about the timing. I am taking the driver side head in to a machine shop so they can do the valve work for me. I assume...

Well last night my A/C compressor went up in a massive cloud of black smoke and shreded my belt. I was able to put on an old belt and get her home with the A/C off. I was looking at replacement parts and saw that the parts stores recommend replacing the Orifice tube and the Accumulator as...

I was considering getting a Mongoose Vortech kit for my car. I live in Phoenix and it will be 110 degrees + most of the summer. I drive about 35 miles each way to work (highway) and already have 72k miles on my car. Any thoughts on reliability for this? I dont plan on taking the car to...

Ok, so my wifes Mitsubishi Galant has been out of commission for about a month. I checked the timing belt, spark etc. The engine would crank but the car wouldnt start. Saturday I sprayed starter fluid in the throttle while it was cranking and it started right up. I have been fooling with...

My wifes Mitsubishi Galant threw a code for the TPS a couple weeks ago. A few days later it wouldnt start at all. I replaced the TPS and the car still wont start. I pulled the plugs yesterday and found alot of oil in all the spark plug wells. If I try to start the car, it stumbles like...

I just replaced my AC clutch as the Bearings were toast and the coil was burnt up, but the clutch does not engage when I turn on the A/C. The fuse looks good. Any Ideas. I want to try jumping the compressor. Does it matter which terminals I connect the pos and negative to ?

I can see that the pully for my A/C is spinning slower than the belt. This is causing my A/C to not work. It seems to do this intermittantly and after I have been driving for a long time. The slipping is causing the belt to burn and smoke while the car is running. Even when the A/C is off I...

Yesterday on the way home from work, the A/C turned off on its own. The vents were still blowing, but it was not cooling the air at all. I turned the A/C on and off several times hoping this would help and it finally started getting cold again after about 20 minutes. I dont know what to look...

This morning on the way to work my hood unlatched itself. I had a bit of open highway and decided to stomp on the gas a little. Once I hit about 120, my hood unlatched. It didnt fly open and smash the windshield or anything, but it was as if someone popped the hood. It started bouncing up...

I went down to the parts counter at the ford dealership on my lunch today and tried to pick up a PCV valve. The guy told me that the part is $46 because the 2004 mustangs use an electronic PCV valve. I was expecting something around $9-$15 for the part. Can someone confirm the part number...

I have a friend of a friend that wants to sell me their stock bullitt springs. Since I don't know this guy, and he says he does not have the car anymore I want to make sure these are not stock GT springs i'm buying. How can I make sure these are Bullitt springs? Do they have the part numbers...

OK.. I'm finally ready to order my 4.10 gears :D The shop I was going to have install them said that if the car has over 40k miles, they insist on changing the bearings. I have 36,000 miles and they said if the bearings look worn, they will need to replace them and the bearing kit is 120.00...

Today I noticed that if i press on the brake hard, the car makes a strange whining noise. At first I thought the noise was my brakes squeaking, but I pressed the brakes in while I was idleing in neutral and the car makes the same sound. Also If I step on the brake hard, RPM's drop to about...

This morning I filled up my gas tank and I had an odd issue. It took about 40 minutes of driving for the gauge to get to the full mark from about 1/4 mark. Usually the needle is at the full mark as soon as I start up the car after filling up. I don't think its related, but this is the first...

Ok, so I was just installing my Mac O/R h-pipe today and noticed that there is a hole in the bottom of my tranny. :eek: First off I assume the hole does not belong there with some type of plug because the hole looks irregular (see pic) . I was hoping someone could explain to me how I was...
