    Fuel cutoff/ filler tube

    pulled back apart, turns out the cutoff valve is a little floater inside a metal cage, guess i bent the surrounding cage a little and the valve got stuck in the closed position. all i had to do was stick a screw driver in and open up the cage a little to free it up....so the moral is be careful...

    Fuel cutoff/ filler tube

    can't really fill the tank slower, as soon as i pull the pump it spurts out a small stream of gas, then shuts off, recently it's been spilling out of the top of the tube because it won't go past this stupid cut off valve.....not really planning on rolling my stang so i don't think i'm going to...

    Fuel cutoff/ filler tube

    recently replaced the filler tube grommet on a 2000 stang. after putting it back together i couldn't fill up the tank without it shutting off the pump every 2 seconds. after doing some research apparently i messed up he valve at the end of the filler tube which is there to prevent syphoning/ gas...

    NEED ECM

    well the other day i got home from work and i smelled burnt wiring comeing from my stang, so i popped the hood and my ecm was smoking, kinda strange because the car ran exactly as it had been running before and after that day it hasn't done it again, still i'm worried the i'll get stranded...

    so what determines good pressure? do i just cup my hand over it to see if there's pressure coming out? an engine knock wouldn't be intermitant though would it? i sure hope it's not an engine knock, i just got the car and need it for daily transportation, i'd hate to have to put a new engine...

    2.3 daily driver, fan won't come on??

    this was probably mentioned already but i didn't want to read 2 pages of posts on this... the fan won't kick on till it's about ready to overheat anyway, a quick fix is to wire it up through a fuse that gets hot when the ignition is turned on, i did this in mine and it runs much cooler, haven't...

    diag codes

    could it be a bad cat? sometimes it idles real rough and there's a knocking sound, thought it was lifter knock at first but then it went away it's probably an exhaust leak...i'm thinking the cat is taking a crap, that would make it run lean right? or should i just try replacing the o2 sensors...

    i've got a 93 coupe with the 2.3 engine. the check engine light is on most of the time, sometimes it goes out and the car runs better, when it's on it usually eaither idles too high (around 1800) or it will drop the idle down to norm (about 700) but it starts to sputter and feels like it's going...

    2.3 daily driver, fan won't come on??

    i just wired mine up so it comes on with the ignition, car runs much cooler and the ac blows colder because of the air moving over the condenser. seems to be working fine so far

    I am stumped....

    btw you can just wax your headlights, they won't look new but they'll look much better and less faded. but i'd recommend picking up a set of the 3 peice clear or smoked lights from ebay, they look pretty sweet without having that "rice" look of the euro lights
