    Heater Core...

    Have you noticed any condensation on anything inside the car? To smell like antifreeze it would have to present somewhere. The defrost problem is most likely due to a duct inside the dash area not being tight enough or not connected well/if at all. Who did the install? Also, does it only...

    Got some probs with some codes

    I did it myself. I can tell you how if you have a vacuum gauge. When vacuum was pumped to 15hg at the egr valve, the rubber bladder would hold pressure and not slowly bleed down, which it should have after a minute or so. This was done with the motor off. With it running, I had someone hold...

    a noise from the engine need help!

    This could be a lot of things with the mileage on it. I would start with a compression test first and a vacuum test second. Both of these tests, if you know how to read the results, will give you a wealth of info as to how things are going on the inside of your motor. How did you first notice...

    NPI intake ?

    While I can't be there in person, unless you live in Kansas City, KS, I can walk you through or help you if you get stuck. I've swapped seven so far for various people and they are really easy to do. Have a torque wrench handy. It's just unbolting and moving things out of the way and then...

    Heater Core...

    6 months ago + still steaming core = problem not fixed. Check the hoses that run into the firewall in the engine compartment. See if they are leaking. Also, what heater core did you use: a new one, or a used/salvage core, and was the person who installed it competent? While not a...

    Got some probs with some codes

    Thanks to all who replied: Problem Solved A vacuum test revealed a sticking egr valve, hence why it cut out. So, Autozone strikes again!:notnice: Lesson learned from those rat b!@tards. I replaced it with one from Bonner Springs Ford and the code went away and the car runs just like it used...

    Got some probs with some codes

    Not the IAC either. The car runs fine and idles fine until I drive it and then it cuts out and when I park it, it still idles fine. I think I will test the vacuum. I tried to move the vehicle to a different place in the driveway after the motor was well warmed and it struggled to move forward...

    Got some probs with some codes

    I did check that out. I didn't find any leaks or anything that would indicate a problem as all connections were solid. I know that there is a vacuum line that runs into the firewall into the cabin and was able to trace it to a connection behind the glove box. No dice, it was good. Randy may...

    Got some probs with some codes

    I have replaced the IAC about 10k ago. I have not replaced the o2's. I have roughly 180k on motor. I considered the possibility of bad o2 sensors and have not ruled them out. I thought it would have to be both upstreams if that was the case, but, I have found that in cases like this the o2...

    How much $$$ for 4.6?

    Thats not the front wheel drive version is it? If so, your going to be short a motor mount on one side since it won't match up. If not fwd then disregard.

    Got some probs with some codes

    In my 96 GT I have codes 171 and 174. They went away with a new maf replacement once before but now they are back. Fuel pressure is good, maf is good, pcv and hoses all good, sprayed carb cleaner (the flammable kind) around the intake manifold gaskets and nothing. I don't hear any sounds or...

    So I just picked up some PI heads, what else do I need?

    Thats what I'm saying, I would take the motor out and rebuild the bottom end when I get the heads done so that I can save myself some heartache later on. My trans leaks too and probably could use replacement so I might just pull the motor and trans together. I am a very skilled mechanic (lol...

    So I just picked up some PI heads, what else do I need?

    I was thinking of nos as a power adder, but, to be honest, I will probably just take the motor out when I do the head swap since I have almost 180k on it. Still rung strong though. I was also thinking of tossing some 4.10's in the back and a full exhaust. The question would be long or short...

    So I just picked up some PI heads, what else do I need?

    I have just acquired some complete PI heads out of an 02 Crown Vic. I plan to let a machine shop port and polish them. I was not able to get the intake manifold since someone had already taken it. Aside from the obvious of needing a manifold, are there any other parts I will need to complete...

    PI head question

    I have a Romeo motor so does it matter if the motor the heads come from is a Windsor or Romeo? There are several vehicles 2001 and newer to pick from. As far as police and cabs go, I don't plan to just pull the heads and install. A nice port and polish and some better cams will be in order...

    PI head question

    I believe all 4.6's after 1998 received the upgraded heads. These Crown Vics are all 2000 and newer wrecked Police cars. I could be wrong. How would I identify if it is a PI head? Would it have a casting on the head somewhere?

    PI head question

    I have come across a few pairs of PI heads from several 2000 and up Crown Vic police interceptors with the 4.6. Would these heads match up to the block on my 1996 GT? Has anyone swapped these? They are dirt cheap. I have to pull them, but I don't know which PI heads will work outside of the...

    Auto trans stalls in gears

    I have a 95 that I recently replaced the iac on due to high revs. The car idles fine now but stalls when it is put into drive or reverse. If I put it in gear with my foot on the gas it will run but when I stop it immediately stalls out. This is a new one to me. Any ideas?
