    Brake upgrade and keep stock wheels?

    94gts, I just tried the link. It is working, it just takes a LONG time to load. The "page" is almost 10 pages long and has many pictures, so it does take a long time to load even on a broadband connection. (If you're on dial-up, you're gonna have to go to lunch and come back.) Great...

    Brake upgrade and keep stock wheels?

    Joe 5.0, They will fit, and they provide much greater stopping power than the stock single-piston cast iron units. Go here for more complete info: http://sn95brakes.cjb.net/

    Crap, Pinging

    Synned, Two words… VACUUM LEAK! If all of your fuel and spark stuff checks out properly, look for a vacuum leak! Particularly in the air intake tract after the MAF, somewhere between the MAF and the throttle body. Check all that stuff for cracks, poor fit, etc. Any bad intake air...

    Will I ever be able to know my mileage?

    Run a CarFax check on it, and then do some math. At some point in the mileage history on the CarFax check the mileage will stop somewhere around 89K and not show any increase in subsequent entries on the report. This will tell you approximately when the odometer got stuck at 89K. Then...

    Is the AODE serviceable?

    First, re: Flush & Fill Tranny There is absolutely no reason not to service (flush and fill) a high mileage AODE, as long as you use Mercon V tranny fluid. Any other tranny fluid has the wrong friction modifiers for the AODE and may well mess it up. This line about "by-product" remaining in...

    Headlight Switch....Plz Read!

    Karmakid, Really late reply, but I just did this job this weekend and it drove me nuts, but I figured it out. Hopefully it will help someone out. You have to reuse the shaft that is in the old headlight switch. To get it out you have to first remove the two-legged bracket from the old...

    95 GT bogs when its cold

    Chowder Head, If you haven’t done so, clear the KAM (Keep Alive Memory) in your car’s PCM. You should do this whenever you change a sensor. Just disconnect the negative terminal on your battery for about 5 to 10 minutes. If your car was running with a bum sensor, clearing the KAM gets...

    Car runs hot after long highway drive

    Guys, Our cars are notorious for developing a very slow leak on the passenger side of stock radiators, between the radiator core and the radiator end cap down low on that side. It’s hard to see, and hard to diagnose, since it it’s a very slow leak and the leak mostly drips down onto the...

    95 GT bogs when its cold

    Guys, I got mine at the Ford dealer, but others on this site have said they got them at an auto parts store. If I remember right, it was either Auto Zone or Advance Auto.

    95 GT bogs when its cold

    Guys, Found the old ECT sensor in the original Ford Motorcraft box in my garage last night! Here's the correct part number: ECT sensor: F2AZ-12A648-A PS) It is usually recommended that you clear the KAM (Keep Alive Memory) in the PCM (computer) whenever you change a sensor. To...

    95 GT bogs when its cold

    The ECT sensor screws in to one of the metal heater hose lines that run across the top right-hand side of your engine. It's near the distributor at about the 10:00 o'clock position if you are looking at the distributor from the front of the car. (So, slightly to the left and slightly to the...

    95 GT bogs when its cold

    Oops, I'll double-check the Ford part number when I get home tonight. I still have the old one in the box the new one came in.

    95 GT bogs when its cold

    Guys, Heres the Ford part number for the ECT for a 94/95 5.0: ECT sensor: F2ZZ-9G428-B (about $50 list at dealer) EDIT: Above is wrong part number!!! Here's the right number: F2AZ-12A648-A You can get them for about half that at an auto parts store - NAPA, Auto Zone, Advance, etc.

    95 GT bogs when its cold

    Guys, If it's temperature related, it's the ECT sensor! The ECT sensor takes the place of a choke on a car with a carburetor. It richens the A/F ratio on a cold engine and leans it out one the engine warms to operating temperature. The ECT (and the ACT) are thermistors (variable...

    After head swap..

    The most likely cause is your new cam. You didn't give the specs on it, but you've probably moved the usable rpm operating range up by 1000 to 1500 rpm with the new cam. Picking too "big" a cam for a street car has its disadvantages. On a car with an AODE, the only way to fix that is get a...

    Why is my mileage so low?

    GRGT1994, I agree with most, its your 4.10 gears! I don't see how anybody with a 5.0 and 4.10 gears can get "20 something" MPGs without coasting downhill the entire way, or emptying the whole tank on the highway in top gear with trailing wind! I know I'll get flamed for this, but 4.10...

    EGR vs Smog pump

    It doesn't affect it in any way. The two systems are completely separate. The "smog pump", actually called the AIR (Air Injection Reactor) pumps fresh air into the exhaust manifolds during the first couple of minutes of operation with a cold engine. The cats do not work until they are up to...

    dosent want to start when cold. help?

    Synned, That's not quite right. ECT measures engine coolant temperature. ACT measures air temperature coming into the intake. Check the link to the PDF file in my post above. Shows location of both sensors.
