    Moaning/vibration at idle

    This could very well be coming from one of your catalytic converters (my '91 has 4 of them) which are all up front. Sometimes they fall apart inside, or the exterior heat shields come loose, and can cause sounds like you are describing in that area of the car under those conditions. Hit your...

    Noisey Fan

    My car was doing the same thing (loud groaning/whining wind noise) and the problem was solved by changing the fan's clutch. My clutch was so bad before changing that you could wrap your hand in a thick layer of rags and easily slow down and actually stop the fan dead while the car was fully...

    ? about the rear end

    Have the car as level as possible and keep on filling until the fluid starts coming back out of the fill hole. VERY IMPORTANT! If you have a TractionLok limited slip rear end make sure you add a bottle of FRICTION MODIFIER which you can buy at your Ford dealer. If you fail to do so you can...

    Are fox heaters really this bad?

    I don't drive my car in the winters, but in the late fall it gets fairly cold up here and when I have had occasion to use the heater it turned the cabin into a sauna in short order. As far as I've known, the stock heating system works great - but the V8 has to warm up first and that can...

    Bought a 5L, have some questions.

    Welcome to the 5.0 world! I can suggest a good repair manual by CHILTONS called "Ford Mustang 1989-93 Repair Manual", with the following id number on it: (8253) 26606. It focuses on your specific car and has lots of good info in it. The Haynes book covers cars back into the mid 80s and...

    1987 5.0 coupe with t-tops!!!!

    Given your general situation, I would definitely recommend against dumping your clean '89 since you don't have a lot of money to do the ttop car right, and right now. I agree with others who have suggested bagging the car for a low price and storing it. The car's condition has pretty much...

    starting 7-up budget build

    What rear end ratio does the car have? From what I've seen, the best bang for the buck (especially in an auto shift car) is to up the diff ratio. Two of my friends had '95 GTs with the autos and 2.73s and they were totally gutless, no fooling (couldn't even dust minivans with the bigger sixes...

    Combination of driveability issues. Doesn't make sense..

    I have seen bucking symptoms caused by faulty EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve control. Won't cost you anything to check out your EGR system (assuming it's all still there). Good luck!

    lites - another strange stang wiring issue

    Try completely disconnecting any aftermarket alarms and or remote start and or keyless entry systems. I've seen many nightmares caused by these systems, due to improper installation and or horrible product quality. You may have the remnants of such a system in the car without you knowing...
