    Compression and fuel ; still no spark Latest update for those who are interested, or who are also troubleshooting a no-start condition on a '93 Mustang LX 3.3L : 1) Replaced ICM after informed that this part commonly fails on 2.3L Rangers - still no start. 2) Verified fuel delivery by...

    Finally , a code Hooked up two (OBDI) code readers we have to the data link connector and the code displayed is "111", which is "System Passed tests". We can hear the relays turning on and off while the PCM runs its tests. Double-checked fuel, and added 2 gallons. No start, of course. Would...

    The continuing saga Well, we installed the $11 E-bay PCM yesterday in the 113 degree heat index. No start. No codes, dash display is the same . We checked fuse#5 which is involved with the starting circuit and trans park/neutral position switch. It's OK. Time to check all the grounds.

    Interim Status 93 LX no-start Fusible links all checked out OK. Bought a CCRM off of Ebay for $43 and installed today. No start, no codes from PCM, but the engine cooling fan no longer comes on when the key is turned on. Fuel pump turns on. Hmm. Went through the wiring diagrams several...

    Shocks and struts...

    Well, thanks ! I was just getting to pull the trigger on a set of Strange rear shocks. It's "strange" that a huge outfit like Summit doesn't carry a bigger selection of Mustang shocks. I changed my stock shocks/struts at 50K due to the heavy construction I was encountering on my commute. I...

    Project SVOhwell close enough is underway

    Thanks for the updates. Wishing you good luck with the project. I did a trans changeover on a '79 Capri (also a Fox body) from automatic to manual, and the pedal assembly switchover R+R was a breeze. I think I even kept the seat in during the switchover, but these days I would just remove...

    Thanks again for a reply, man ! I still call that thing a solenoid , too. I try to remember that it's technically a relay, but still wind up calling it a solenoid. Starter spins the motor, though. Plan for tomorrow - test the "J" fusible link which leads to the PCM and CCRM according to...

    Part ID

    Thanks, Delray Dude. I just got my Helm "Electrical + Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual" for the 1993 Mustang. That circuit breaker is identified as "In-Line" circuit breaker and leads to connector C204 (grey) up behind the driver's side kick panel. It's involved in the power window lock and...

    Part ID

    Thanks, bonestock ! Makes sense. We were working a "no start problem", and come upon this. The part numbers - SUSS CBC-20H3 ; underneath is 12V J1520A. Guessing it's a circuit breaker, but for which circuit ? Will try re-attaching to the solenoid like yours.

    Are you 2.3 owners still here?

    We still have a '93 LX in the family. Only 62K miles ; good gas mileage. Florida Sun finally ate the paint. Reliable, durable car This was the last of the Freon refrigerated cars. so I'm trying to engineer a switch to 134A w/o spending too much money.

    12 year old vacuum lines - 99 GT

    There's 8 pages of threads about vacuum here on Stangnet, but I can't find any that mention a source for new lines. I asked the parts counterman at Ford once, and he said they don't stock them. Some of the vacuum lines on my '99 GT look "specialized", and I don't want to put any generic...

    Possible Carrier bearing

    Good observations, wmburns. I just had my carrier bearings replaced by mechanics I trust. They told me that the left side carrier bearing "peeled" and self-destructed ! I had "rumbling" just like the OP. I kinda guessed there was a bearing going bad in the carrier, but wasn't sure whether...

    4.6 Reliability ????

    Actually - kinda a germane topic , since these things have been around a while. I'd rather keep my PAID FOR ride going as long as possible. Yeah, I resurrected this thread - so what ?

    4.6 Reliability ????

    Back to the Future Yep, these motors are reliable. Closer engine tolerances, but the main thing is Fuel Injection. No more raw fuel washing down the cylinders and causing ring wear, etc. The other advance was the coil-on-plug idea. Notice how the other manufacturers copied it ? Ford...

    dumbest question in stangnet history

    Yes. I bought a BR OBDII box and hooked it to an antique IBM Thinkpad. I can view just about everything going on with my 'Stang.. The car manufacturers probably squealed like piglets, but one good thing the Feds made them do was to adhere to the OBD II protocols, so that we civilians could...

    3rd Brake Light

    First off, thanks to the guys who replied to my post ! Good karma is on your way ! I wound up using the Meguiar's headlight resto kit ( requires a drill), and the third brake light looks good, now. Saved me $90. I have no doubt that the 600 grit sanding, followed by a clear coat, would...
