    Fuel Why does the fuel pump prime and then stop?

    Thanks! That's exactly what I needed to know. I was on the phone with Painless tech today and he gave me a few things to try.

    Fuel Why does the fuel pump prime and then stop?

    Little back story. My 35 year old engine control wiring harness was toast so I went with a Painless harness. It does away with a lot of the superfluous crap that's not needed. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/prf-60510?srsltid=AfmBOorr5PZ4VJ8SF2f_Vs_Em8YVra1KZ_I_5ggDCRO9m5cg-SC2KPCr_pE So...

    Engine Are dowel pins needed to align a front timing cover?

    Well.....I think I've found the issue. No dowel pins! Just ordered a pair from LMR.

    Engine Are dowel pins needed to align a front timing cover?

    Not bad. The rubber part of the seal bottoms out on top of that ridge. From the base of the balancer to the top of ridge is about 7mm. It's also 7mm from the metal face of the seal to the rubber part. The motor had 90k well cared for miles before the rebuild.

    Engine Are dowel pins needed to align a front timing cover?

    I have a front seal leak (just a drip really) on my newly rebuilt '93 5.0. Question: Am I missing dowel pins that need to align the timing cover so the crank is centered in the TC bore? This pic is from teardown and I don't remember any dowel pins. This is after I pulled the balancer to try...

    Resolved 2.3 not running

    After 35 years the contacts in the ECU relay tend to corrode which causes all kinds of running issues. Pulling codes won't point specifically to that. I had the same issue in my '93 5.0 Mustang. A new relay solved the problem.

    Hey whats up! More 2.3 power needed

    Stinger sells the 3" downpipe that you'll need and Chip has the waterline elimination kits so you should be good. IIRC, '88 TC's didn't have a blowoff or bypass valve on them so it's unnecessary. When you visit the BAR ref make sure everything is hooked up properly and nothing is mickey...

    Drivetrain What's the proper way to check auto trans fluid?

    Drivetrain What's the proper way to check auto trans fluid?

    '93 AOD. What's the proper way to check trans fluid to get an accurate reading? I'm running straight Mercon V. When I floor it, the car shifts pretty hard going into 2nd gear. Enough to 'chirp' the tires.

    Engine Question on the good 'ol Innova 3145 code reader?

    Pulled codes on '93 5.0 and got 81,82,85,84. It cycled back and displayed the same codes again (as it should). Then, I got the 10 seperator code and the continuous memory codes came up. I pulled a 33 (EGR) and 66 (MAF). It cycled back and displayed the 33 again (as it should) but the 66...

    Drivetrain Start up help...loud noise

    You're completely sure about that? Either way, the starter needs to come out and be checked over. Double check your index plate and install a known good starter to see if it still does it.

    91' 2.3L AOD to T5 Swap Rear End Gear?

    Firstly, your auto trans is an A4LD. AOD's came behind V8's. Secondly, why not just swap the rear gear from the '87 T5 car to the '91? Ford spent millions in R&D to determine the proper gear ratio for each car. They usually got it right.

    Where does PCM relay ground to in 93 Fox?

    Factory PCM relays have been known to go bad after 30 years. I was having driveability issues with my '93 drivetrain swapped into another car. Pulled the PCM relay, tore it apart and found corroded contacts. Replaced it and all is good.

    Electrical I need a new engine wiring harness. Recommendations please.

    Yeah, I really don't want to replace a 30 year old harness with another 30 year old harness. Does anyone make a new replacement harness?

    Electrical I need a new engine wiring harness. Recommendations please.

    OK, the snowflakes are a bit much. Pretty distracting! With that being said.......I need to replace the entire ECU wiring harness. '93 5.0. The 30 year old original just isn't cutting it! I need to replace virtually every wire and connector off the 60 pin connector. Painless is quality and...

    Cracked Tubing Upper Intake

    The actual PCV hose from the 'T' to the PCV valve can be found here..... https://lmr.com/item/LRS-6664A/1986-95-Mustang-50L-Pcv-Valve-To-Upper-Intake-Hose The second half of the hose, from the 'T' to the fitting on the bottom of the manifold, may be harder to find. This looks like it may work...

    Hey whats up! More 2.3 power needed

    Confused! The nicked cam bearing is in your N/A motor, correct? Why would you be putting the new Big R ranger cam in the N/A motor and not in the Turbo motor??
