    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    No, The battery light came on after the engine shut down. Like when you turn the ignition key to the on position, but do not crank the engine.

    Need Help Adjusting Odometer. Not The Gauge That Came With The Car.

    Sorry about being late to the party. I did remove and replace the gears for the odometer in a '95, but never rolled back or rolled forward the mileage. Did not have to. Since the newer clusters are digital, I'm guessing you have to have a programmer of sorts to reset it. I'm not even sure...

    Power Window Switch Died

    Mine has a tendency to fail on really hot days, probably due to cheap construction of the switch itself. If you find the write up on how to do the one touch conversion, let me know. That would be a great modification!

    Hey I'm New...kinda From Socal

    Why does the car have to be sold? Is it a space issue, or a money issue? If it's a money issue, what is she willing to give up in order to help? Also, in order to be fair, we need bikini pics in order to more accurately assess the situation. :welcome: back.

    Drivetrain Pictorial Guide To Odometer Gear Replacement

    I would like to think you can get them elsewhere, but at the time I originally wrote this thread, there was really no other re-sellers of the gears outside of going to the stealership. Let us know what you find in your searches.

    Too bad you don't live closer. A friend of mine is in the tint business and has the skill set to deal with defogers

    squeaking under the hood

    I've been in a situation similar to this. To test if your belt is slipping, and causing the chirping: Get a bar of soap. Start the car and let it idle. While the noise is occurring, with the engine running, carefully contact the bar of soap to the back side (flat non-grooved) of the the belt...

    Minor hanging RPMs

    Well I found a high heat 90* coolant elbow for $5 at Discount Auto. It's not perfect, but it will work until I find a PCV elbow that is gas/oil resistant.

    Minor hanging RPMs

    Yeah, I have taken the rest of the tubing off so that I can use it at the store for fitment. :nice: I saw that The stealership wants $40 on average for the tube assembly which consist of a 12" plastic tube and 2 of those 90* rubber ends. :nonono:

    Minor hanging RPMs

    Got my first SES light today for this car since I bought it 9 years ago. P 0171 Bank 1 lean p 0174 Bank 2 lean I removed the tubing from the IAC to the PCV valve and covered the port to the IAC with duct tape. Then I started the car and the issue of the hanging RPMs has stopped. Upon...

    Minor hanging RPMs

    Yeah, been a while since I've had to repair anything on the pony. Found out that most of my genuine Ford parts bookmarks are no longer valid. Need to find a new retailer that is trustworthy and economical.

    Minor hanging RPMs

    2003 GT 108k on the clock RPMs seem to hang at initial start-up and when coming to a complete stop. They eventually drop to normal idle RPMs and there is no stumble or rough idle. I think it may be a sticking valve, because fuel consumption has not increased and power levels seem fine...

    So apparently we are no longer allowed to give negative feedback on companies we deal with.

    Very interesting question indeed. How do we know we are getting a fair and balanced review as automotive enthusiast on an enthusiast based site, if we cannot get complete reviews of product, especially sponsored products. I am all against slandering, yet I am also against not getting a true...

    Any reviews on tubular k members?

    Alleged "Bad" comments about a company are removed yet the "Good" comments are allowed to remain. I never got a change to see the removed comments, but seems a little one sided to me.

    Need Small self powered Sub

    for an extended cab Ford Ranger. The driver (my wife) always complained about not having any room in the cab for transporting stuff when it rained. So when the amp in the car fried, I pulled the amp and the dual 12" band pass box out of the cab of the truck (2 problems solved). Now she wants...

    Drivetrain Pictorial Guide To Odometer Gear Replacement

    Not a problem. Glad it can still help. I'm sure that as they 90's start hitting the scrap yards, this info will become less relevant.

    Drivetrain Pictorial Guide To Odometer Gear Replacement

    Pics should be here for a long time. If not, the write up was so popular that many other websites have duplicated the post on their sites, and the distributor of the gears have a copy :nice:

    Drivetrain Pictorial Guide To Odometer Gear Replacement

    Only 2 things I can think of are that a wire got pinched putting the cluster back in, or the simpler option that not all the harnesses were reconnected before putting the cluster back in. Did you pull any fuses or disconnect the battery before removing the cluster. I know stupid question, but...
