    Car dying in 4th Gear

    Let me preface this by saying that I don't know anything about carbs. It kinda seems (like 86BlueCobra said) that you're getting too much fuel. Perhaps its more of a sequence-of-events issue rather than a 4th gear issue; as you know, there really is nothing - especially on a carbed car -...

    compression stock engine 5.0L

    on my 90 LX stock 150,000 mile engine, the compression was between 145psi and 155 psi, I believe. I believe the engine was cold (or I would have burnt the hell out of my hands) and I did not prop the throttle body open. As for compression ratio, I believe it was 9.0:1, 91lxttrim.

    Water pump bolts?

    none of those appear to have the "stud" on the other side for the A/C bracket...they're simply normal headed bolts.

    Water pump bolts?

    I got one from a dealer one time for $8.00. I even went around to several custom hardware stores and none of them had anything similar. There's a kit you can buy, though, that I found after the fact that is a whole new bolt kit of stainless bolts for around $50. I briefly looked, but...

    Holy Ghetto 5.0...

    you know he's got a ton of money in that car. I'd say the paint and doors would be over the $6000 asking price....or at least pretty close. Not my style, though.

    IAC Spacer kit?

    If the IAC is aftermarket (I believe "Wells" brand), it needs to be flipped upside down, as mentioned, for it to work correctly. I *DID* get the Ford IAC plate and it seemed to work (at least make a very noticeable difference) on my GT. My LX also has it from a recall. The reason Ford made...

    help with my sunroof

    are you sure the leak isn't coming from around your doors? I have semi-new (4-5 year old) weatherstripping and mine still makes noise around my doors a bit. I mean, it could be your sunroof, I just really doubt it. The easiest way to tell would be to swap sunroofs for a few minutes if you...

    help with my sunroof

    I really doubt those things are causing it. My whole sunroof sticks up out of my roof more than yours and mine doesn't make any noise. If you really think it's those pieces sticking up, take the sunroof off, take those pieces off and silicone around them and put them back. Be careful and not...

    New track times and vids... hilarity ensues.

    your times are nearly exactly what I ran in my 90 lx (14.68 @ 96). You've got more mods and I've got less weight, so it probably equals out. My 60's sucked too...2.3 was my best, but I also drove through the water box (the guys pretty much told me if I didn't, I wouldn't hook) and I had the...

    Engine Stays Running After Key Off..

    If you really want the best controller around, get a Delta Current Controller from www.dccontrol.com. It may take a couple weeks for it to come in, so don't order it and plan to have it in this weekend. However, the consensus is that it's well worth the wait. I've had mine for about a year...

    Engine Stays Running After Key Off..

    My first thought was the ignition switch, too, when I first saw this post last night. I wanted to see what others thought. Why is the electric fan wired to the starter? Do you mean starter relay? That still makes no sense since the starter relay is connected to the battery and has constant...

    me vs my brothers prelude

    Your sig says you have 3.73's, that's what 25th meant. He probably had an exhaust manifold from the factory, not a header.

    Cracked block/blown head gasget? Tech help!!

    The coolant could be/have been brownish due to rust in the cooling system. I've cleaned my radiator out before and all kinds of rust came out. If you pull the thermostat, I would recommend to put a 180* or stock 195* back in. While the 160 may work fine, there's really no reason to have a...

    need help with dccontrol fan

    Nutty: I mounted my DCC unit on the fender beside where the stock battery sits. I have posted pics in threads before, so maybe you could find them by searching dcc and my user name. With your coolant temp sender in the thermo housing, what are you gonna do if your thermostat isn't opening...

    need help with dccontrol fan

    I have the unit with the jumpers, but this probably still applies. There's an Auxiliary A/C input wire on mine that if you connect it, it turns the fan on if the a/c is turned on. The wire is a blue wire on the harness (per my old instructions that I'm looking at, I didn't hook it up). Did...

    Battery dead...

    I'm with HISSIN. Get the battery checked and charged and try again. It takes a lot of juice to start a car, so while the battery might be fine under normal conditions, under load, it could be having problems...or not....maybe it's just not fully charged. Also, what gauge ground did you use...

    Need some quick sizes of bolts: Transmission bellhousing, pressure plate, flywheel..

    Are you in a position where you can just use trial and error to find the correct size? That's usually how people do it if they can't eyeball it. Not to be an ass, but seriously...
