    Noob, and in trouble a4ld yippie

    Ran across the $30 ODB1 scanner in another thread so i picked one up and ran / tried to run a few tests. KOEO Passed with 111 KOER Timing test failed KOER gave a 538 (Not enough timing change) When it runs the timing up to 20 degrees there is all of about 200 rpm difference. I'm not sure...

    Noob, and in trouble a4ld yippie

    If i apply vacuum to the red (bottom) line either by mouth or by pump with the key off it buzzes and can not pull 1 inch of vacuum. If I try it with the key on it's the same deal. running throws a code either due to lack of vac or the fact I unplugged the line while it was running. Basiclly what...

    5.0Guy needs help! Looking at a 2.3L with issues!

    I got mine for $500 and it doesn't drive right now but it looks like I'll be replacing the a4ld. See my "Noob post" for where I sit currently.

    I 'drained' the vacuum line that feeds the modulator on the trans yesterday. (Got about 1/4 qt of ATF out of it) so I knew the modulator was leaking. Replaced it with a new one. The one I pulled out was obviously the exact same one I was replacing it with. Both were adjustable with the allen...

    Glowing Manifold...what do you think?

    Accually when it is too lean the manifold glows, if the cats are glowing it is too rich. Sounds like you and I might have the same issues with the trans not working correctly I suspect yours might be aa vacuum leak as well. I know mine is, it's just a matter of if I toasted the trans while...

    Looking for a 2.3 is harder then i thought...

    Right before gas hit $3 I bought my Lightning. Now that it's kinda come back down I got my $500 2.3 hatch. Can't touch them out here for less than a grand really,in poor shape. I lucked out in the way the girl had the ad written, it sounded like a real beater, when it started on the first crank...

    The never ending list of problems...this time it's the heater.

    Run a 180 or 190 degree t-stat will bump it up a bit. Probably will want to swap it before it gets too hot depending on where you live. I don't know what is stock but your fairly safe going 10 degrees higher on a non boosted car. There might be something that can be done if you have an electric...

    Noob, and in trouble a4ld yippie

    I can close the leak in the controller if I mess with the switch to the off or floor setting. If I manually put a vacuum on the system I can here this little switch buzzing. The sound of air being sucked through it. Thisisn't the pic of mine obviously but this thing might be leaking. I...

    Noob, and in trouble a4ld yippie

    H/Vac controls are leaking, I can nearly cut it off if I 'adjust' the floor setting. I have the modulator but can't find the damn thing on the drivers side of trans so I'm guessing it's on the pass. side. I had the car sitting 1/2 in gravel so I couldn't jack it up safely to change the...

    Noob, and in trouble a4ld yippie

    Hi all, I'm new to the board but not new to the 2.3 L stangs. I have had a 79 Pace with the great 2.3 carbed turbo, 84 SVO (White) and 85 SVO (Black). Just picked up a smoking deal on a 92 Hatch 2.3 / AT to keep miles off my 2k Lightning. I'm sticking with an auto as my wife can't push a clutch...
