    Red Hot Cats?

    Thanks for the replies. I have the stock distributor, air pump hardware all in place, and no exhaust leak. I will try the restricted exhaust test this weekend and will also start tracing vacuum lines (this time in the daylight!) The sucking sound I described only happened right when I...

    Red Hot Cats?

    93 GT, 5 speed. Tonight upon starting my car, it hesitated and I heard what can only be described as a swoosh or a sucking sound. A few cranks later, it started and had an intermittent idle problem. I made it home no problem, but I did smell either oil or plastic burning. Upon...

    Guess At My Problem

    Well, hopefully the problem is fixed for now. I pulled the codes, nothing. Traced all the vacuum lines, no go. Started inspecting connectors, the coolant temperature sensor's connector was totally wiggly. Pulled it off, broken sensor. Bought a new one, no problems. Went to get my car...

    Guess At My Problem

    I believe that I'm doing anywhere from 1600-1800rpms at that speed. Would the IAC have any effect in that range?

    Guess At My Problem

    You should replace your TFI module then and tell me if it solves your problem. :) Has anyone used the cheapo TFI module at 50resto? I know the Accel one is a couple bucks more, but just for the sake of the argument I'd like to know if someone has used the cheaper one.

    Guess At My Problem

    Hey guys. 93 GT 5 speed, 173k miles. Coming home from work today, my car died on me as I was coasting to a light. I was able to jumpstart it in 4th, fired right up and continued driving. This has never happened before. It happened twice more on the way home, once while coasting, and...

    Engine Suggestions

    Hey guys. So my 93 GT with 176k miles is finally starting to have some problems. Stuck lifter at the moment, blah blah. With a soft limit of $2k, what are my best options? Rebuild? Motorcraft crate engine? An aftermarket long block? I'm a GM parts salesman, so I can get a good...

    Clutch Setup Recommendations

    Hi guys. I have a 1993 5.0 GT that is lightly modified and I'm looking for some opinions on what to replace my 10 year old OEM clutch setup with. I have an Edelbrock Performer intake, ProFlow MAF, 70mm BBK tb, fenderwell mounted K&N, 3.55 gears, catted H pipe and a 2 chamber Flowmaster...

    Clutch Throwout Bearing Noise?

    Any idea of how vital it is for me to jump on this and replace it ASAP? Will the sound get progressively worse or will the bearing end up seizing eventually and totally screw me? I hate to skimp on repairs but I don't have the time or resources to drop a tranny and mess with clutch parts right...

    Clutch Throwout Bearing Noise?

    Hi guys, long time reader, first time poster. I have a 93 GT 5 speed that has developed a high pitched noise. The noise occurs while the clutch pedal is not depressed, and goes away when engaged. I don't have access to a lift so I have yet to physically inspect it, but are throwout/pilot...
