    AOD trans fluid spraying out of radiator?!?!

    I thought it was originally a busted tranny cooler, so I swapped that out, and now it's still all wet arounf the radiator after driving home. So, I'm assuming that the trans cooler tank in the radiator is craked/broken somewhere, right? That's the only other palce it could be spraying from, I...

    WHY does every starter solenoid KEEP STICKING?!?!?

    you mean you can really just punch the fender? :) It would be ideal to be able to extend the wires into the cabin and just be able to hit it w/o getting out of the car... much more discreet :) But seriously, though, there has to be a logical explaination and remedy for this!!!

    WHY does every starter solenoid KEEP STICKING?!?!?

    I've had an intermittent problem w/ my starter solenoid's sticking open when I start the car, and the only fix is to pop the hood, run out, and hit the solenoid w/ pliers/ wrench, etc., and it breaks loose and stops. In the past 2 weeks alone, I've replaced the solenoid 3 times (2 Duralast...

    starter starts...but won't stop!!! need a little help here...

    I'm re-vamping this thread, even though I already answered a long time ago.... :( I've replaced my starter three times since. Sometimes it goes for a LONG time w/o sticking open. I replaced it the other day w a duralast HD, and the first three times it started, it stuck open. Replaced it that...

    computer/circuit damage by running wrong sesnor?

    Oh, so is that why the ACT worked fine for a few days and then sucked again?

    computer/circuit damage by running wrong sesnor?

    I just found out the other day I've been running an ACT sensor in place of my ECT for several months now, simply because I'm an idiot; long story. So I put in a new Motorcraft ECT today, but my question is: could I have caused damage in the comp. or the circuit by using the incorrect sensor for...

    That's reassuring; thanks! I checked out your website by the way, looks like good quality stuff. I'll keep it in mind for the future! Thanks! Jeremy

    12.5-13# oil pressure @ hot idle??

    it's an autometer. Today it hasn't been too bad. Not as hot, and lowest I saw it at was about 14-25... I'll consider the weight swap. I just changed oil about 1000 mile ago, but why not?? :)

    New catalytic converters stink?

    yeah, i ran an O/R pipe for three years and managed to find someone to pass my smog, then someone to pass my visual, but this year I don't know of anyone to do the smog, plus, my O/R rusted and split right down the middle of the H-connector. Suck ass.

    Spark plug gap too big?

    yeah, and how about this one? I'd had problems with my ECT sensor, so I replaced it with a Standard piece, adn that was crap after a few days, then I got a Motorcraft piece, and that plastic housing didn't even fit right, I figured they gave me the wrong year, so I broke the housing on the...

    New catalytic converters stink?

    I don't know if the outside is coated or painted or if that's just the color of the raw material they use... The smell is def. not as bad anymore, just a little noticeable...The outside of the pipe was claen enough to eat off of, just that crap on the inside......

    Spark plug gap too big?

    I just did a plug change on my car, along w/ new O2's and a BBK catalytic H pipe. I have GT-40P's, so I use the plugs off an Explorer. When I took the plugs out, I checked the gaps for the heck of it, and found that they were all roughly .62 (.062?), so apparently I never gapped them to 5.0...

    New catalytic converters stink?

    yeah, me neither!!! Maybe I shouldn't say sludge...it looked like dirt, and I swiped dome off with my finger, and it was greasy, like spraying wd-40 on something, then sprinkling dirt (dust?) on it.... I didn't quite get it myself....maybe someone with a BBK pipe can chime in if the same thing...

    12.5-13# oil pressure @ hot idle??

    I searched and saw this issue touched on, but never a definitive answer, so: Engine starts and warms up slightly above 50 psi, and once it's hot, it will settle down to about 12.5-15 psi at idle. Lately it's been in the 80's-90's here. I run Mobil 1 5w-30, and there's 123,xxx miles on the...

    New catalytic converters stink?

    I just put on a BBK catalytic H pipe, and it smelled real bad at first, but now, almost a week later, you can still smell it a little bit, especially after gettting off the highway. There was a whole bunch of sludge and gunk stuff inside the pipe that I'm assuming has been buring out/off, but is...
