    Missfire from idle to aprox 3000rpm

    The inability to get codes doesn't sound good. Being an '89 the computer should be a basic swap for most years 88-93. Unless the previous owner did some hanky panky stuff with the wiring and computer......??? Based on the parts you have already swapped or checked, there is one more you might...

    Hood Release and Pulleys

    Now guys, I can't believe nobody out there knows where their hood release knob is mounted under the dash. We can't find holes under the dash that seem to line up with the mounting holes in the release handle. Refresh our minds please...does it mount to the metal plate under the plastic trim...

    Mach 1 Checking out you Mach guys

    OK, I stopped by tonight on the way home from work. The Chevy dealership finally put a sign in the window. They list the car at $25, 495. I figure that is their top, wishful price, but don't really know the dealership that well. I spend all our money at the local Ford dealer, just down the...

    Mach 1 Checking out you Mach guys

    WOW, you guys are making my head spin! Money is tight right now...kid in college, bills, etc. BUT, this Mach is calling me! I absolutely HATE driving my Expedition land yacht, but I inherited it from my wife. She has 3 horses (the hay eating type) and we got her a new 04 F-150 last year...

    Mach 1 Checking out you Mach guys

    Hey, thanks for the link. I am on my way to check out the registry. This Mach 1 stuff has intrigued me from the start. I was just surprised to see one in our small town. I have regretted selling my 93 vert for a couple years now. I had poured so much sweat and money into it, but got...

    50resto chrome radiator grill bracket........

    I know the part you mention. I had them on my 93 back before I drove it off a cliff with the surge demon :rolleyes: Actually they fit pretty well, no clearance issues that I remember. Easy, simple bolt on. No extra horsepower or anything...although the Honda drivers around here were sure...

    Ignition Timing WAY off!

    I certainly don't want to step on toes here, so I am only throwing out things from past experience. Is it possible the distributor went in on the exhaust stroke instead of the intake....180 out? I have seen that done a few times...and yes, the car can still run!!! It wouldn't hurt to check...

    Mach 1 Checking out you Mach guys

    Thanks a bunch for that history lesson...very valuable info! Yeah, I need to convince my wife about the "sexy" part and get her to see the light. The Mach at the dealer lot looks great from a passing glance, so I figured it might be a 04. That's good news, just hope I can convince her. I...

    Found a possible culprit to my idle issues, how do i fix it?

    I assume that the little vac cap has been on your car since you bought it? Did your HVAC controls all work? All positions on the dial? The vac line you ran today is the normal setup...line from the left side of vac valve to the AC line on the vac tree. Hearing the noise after you shut...

    TAD and TAB Solenoid

    Those vac lines do tend to get old and brittle. I don't know if Ford still has them (doubt it) and don't know of any aftermarket companies that offer a replacement. With that said, I had to replace mine and tried 2 different methods. First, I went to a local auto store and bought some hard...

    Mach 1 Checking out you Mach guys

    Hey guys, coming over from the 5.0 crowd. I don't know a lot about the mach cars but they sure hold my interest. I have been eyeing this Mach1 sitting on a local used car lot. I think its a 04, maybe 03 but definitely very new looking. I hope to stop by soon and take a real close look...

    condition of distributor cap

    Just4. I can't answer all your questions but thought I would share my experience with this stuff. I ran the MSD ignition on my car for a couple of years. I used a Ford Cap and rotor and FRPP 9mm ignition wires. Yes, my cap terminals had that little groove where the rotor went wizzing by...

    Fenderwell cold air intake kit that ISN'T chrome??

    Hey guys, just curious....did Moroso go out of business? Since I've been gone for a couple of years I have lost contact with a lot of the Mustang world. I had a Moroso fenderwell CAI and loved it. Worked great, and I was surprised nobody mentioned it. Thinking about one for my son's GT...

    Right Throttle Body For Cobra Intake

    I agree with Bubba. I really like the FRPP 65mm TB. It is quality made, comes with a new TPS sensor, and I never had any problems with it at all. I never had any of the binding or sticking problems with the FRPP unit that I hear about from other brands. I did have a BBK TB on my Explorer...

    Help with U-joint Area leak

    Hissin50, Matter of fact, there is a gross looking mess all around that area. It looks to be fairly thick, and extremely goooey! I bet you guys are right then. I just hope replacing this seal is not too hard to do. We have enough projects now that it seems the car will be totally rebuilt...

    People without the Thermactor Air "Smog" System

    Jeff, My old 93 GT did not have its thermactor air system and now my son's 92 hatch doesn't either. The EEC will throw those codes and I don't know of anyway to get rid of them. They were always present on my 93. Basically there are the TAD and TAB solenoids that control the AIRB and AIRD...

    KYB Users... and anyone who knows suspension.

    My experience with the KYBs was also not all that good. I installed a full set of the KYBs and FRPP "B" springs and my car ride became very harsh. I just about chattered all my teeth out going down the road. Of course, our local roads are not all that great anyway, but.........sheesh. I...

    Help with U-joint Area leak

    Yeah, I did some digging around in the Haynes and Chilton's manuals and that is probably the problem. I was worried it would require going in from the backside of the pumpkin and I really didn't want to mess around inside there. From what I gather it seems that the seal is worked from the...

    Help with U-joint Area leak

    I have worked on just about every part of a mustang, but always left the pinion and diffy alone. I did install my aluminum driveshaft however :nice: We have my son's 92 up on jackstands in the garage trying to get it roadworthy. It sat there for a few days and not a drip of liquid under it...
