    Latest problem...won't start.

    Just an update.... After spending a zillion hours under the dash, following the above checklist, and testing all components, I gave up in disgust. I couldn't find anything other than the horrible snake nest of wires hanging from under the dash. I still have 4 wires I can't account for, along...

    Latest problem...won't start.

    Thanks JRichker...always a lot of reading from you! I can't believe how much I have let slip out of my mind after all I went through on that 93?! I knew all this by heart. Now I'm flopping like a fish out of water here. I had to be out of town since Sat morning so I am just now getting on...

    Cruise Control Stopped Working

    Of course he can solve the whole problem like I did.....start working on those underdash wires like you mentioned and you might end up with your car dead! I have been chasing the wire rats nest a previous 10 yr old left us, and starting Friday she's dead in the water. No ignition, period...

    Did I get gouged or what?!?

    Wow, cut in half with little resistence is pretty darn good. Labor sure isn't cheap, so you know going in that if they are going to work on something it's going to cost. It's just so important for us to be armed with accurate info about the proper parts, time, costs , etc so we can keep a...

    I need your opinion fellas

    I agree with the guys saying the Blue colors. The Blues look great. I also got a lot of compliments on my 93 vert that had a Pearl swirl mixed into the stock White color. I had to keep it clean to really make it work, but it looked sharp in the sunlight. Lot's of Stangnet guys saw it a...

    THERMOSTAT

    I seem to be falling into the same situation as the last question. Last month I installed a new water neck that had a tap for my mechanical water temp sender. I installed a new 195* fail-safe thermostat too. Since then, the water temp guage has shown a solid 185-190* during all drives. This...

    Uneven Ride Height Questions

    My beautiful, built up 93 convertible suffered from the sag as well. I had tried a couple different brand springs in it at one time or another, but the sag was always there. I did cure mine. It wasn't terribly hard, but was time consuming. I removed the taller spring side and started...

    lower and upper control arms

    Hopefully I can tell you how they are in a short while. The stock arms are so bad under this 92 hatch that each time I take off the pops and groans are loud enough to scare me. The uppers are completely wasted, I can reach up and move them around! I figured the B. oval stuff looked like a...

    College Advice

    You are at a time that will have great impact on what you do later based on decisions made now.....whew, talk about wordy sentence?! Your conselor is right though, you need to sit back and take a look at what interests you. Look through the trade journals, read everything you can about...

    Latest problem...won't start.

    I'm getting desperate now, being stranded and having to bum rides to work. Parked the 92 hatch in the garage Thursday evening after getting home from work. Didn't fiddle with anything all night. Friday morning early I get in and try to start it up. It turns over fine but will not start. All...

    Help...revisiting the speedo cable bounce???

    Thanks JR. I don't find any lubricant high up on the cable end, but also don't know the history of the car either. I just find it funny how the cable works great for about a week after being lubed, then starts to get the wiggles after that. I'm going to pull it one last time and take a look...

    car starts, runs for 10 secs, then dies

    I might have missed it when I read through your description, so please forgive me, but have you tried replacing your ignition switch on the steering column? I have had, and seen many other folks have plenty of problems due to that darn switch. They are known to be a weak link, tend to pull...

    Help...revisiting the speedo cable bounce???

    Yeah, I know the 3.73 gears and speedo gears aren't a perfect match. I do, however, know that this particular setup has worked in another mustang just fine...in terms of a steady needle. What I noticed is after greasing up the cable the last time the needle really worked great for about a...

    Help...revisiting the speedo cable bounce???

    Hi all, Still trying to piece this 92 hatch back together inside. The speedo needle had been bouncing real bad at speeds below 30. I pulled the old cable out and replaced the entire thing...sheath and cable. I did the search thing here and got a mixed amount of suggestions on proper lube...

    My new Ford Clutch Cable....it's goooooood!

    Thanks guys. The arm is feeling a bit better today. It is sore as crap, but i can still use it some. I stopped by the doctor and he feels it is a bad sprain, pulled muscles, but the bone isn't broken. I was stupid and didn't think before I went to drilling. I used to have those mechanix...

    please help :\

    Follow the above advice so you don't throw wasted money at it trying to hit the elusive bullseye. I do agree about checking the fuel filter. Crud in a dirty filter will get stirred up as you drive and slowly clogg up the outlet. After the car shuts down the crud slowly settles and the port...

    My new Ford Clutch Cable....it's goooooood!

    Yeah, it's like driving a totally different car now. The syc's are definitely shot on 3rd gear, so it still grinds if I try to stuff the shifter fast. As long as I pause briefly before hitting third it goes right in. Still, the smooth and light clutch step is so refreshing. Making that...
