    Help! front end is clunking

    I had the exact same problem.....groaning noise when turning the whee, and clunking over bumps...and it was very embarrassing. I put in a new steering rack.....I bought a reman from Autozone for $150 or so....I did the job myself and it was a very simple install....my old tie rods were as...

    Timing help

    I did not know what my timing was set at, so I bought a timing light.....finding the marks on the balancer was almost impossible because my 95GT has 131k on it...finally, I think I made out a 10 and it looked like a 0 was to the left of that one (from underneath the car), so I marked the 10 with...

    Does the stater/pick-up coil eventually die?

    Ok....so I ran the codes and I got a PIP/stater failure...which is great cause my car would stall every now and then and sometimes have a difficult start. My 95gt is my DD, so I was driving to work this morning (I have not been able to put in a new stater/pip yet).....and my car stalls....it...

    aaarrrggghhhh.....so now what?

    Ran the codes Hey, I finally bought a code reader from Autozone.....I feel stupid though cause for the $35 I paid, I could have gotten one on line with a digital readout instead of the light flashy thing.....it is pretty cool though how it goes through the different tests...starts the fan, revs...

    aaarrrggghhhh.....so now what?

    Driving my car down the e-way at 70 mph and suddenly the tach goes to zero and the check engine light comes on....it did it only for a moment, then the light went off and the tach went back up and things were normal again. A few miles later, it did it again...same thing...tach drops to zero...

    Oil Pressure Gauge won't budge.

    Success!!!! Thanks, I found that crappy little plug and sure enough it had worked it's way loose (prolly when I pulled out my old spark plug wires). I plugged it back in and my oil pressure gauge came back to life....big relief for me, that is for sure.

    Oil Pressure Gauge won't budge.

    My oil pressure gauge is all the way left and won't budge. I had to drive it about 20 miles, and it still never moved from all the way left. This is the first time this has ever happened. Before my problem, earlier today I replaced the plugs, wires, cap and rotor...following all that, now I...

    Thanks, I need to start ordering my parts on line.....Advance Auto has plenty to choose from (Borg Warner oem looking IAC for instance, with no flip around) and I can pick it up next day at my local store.

    Wells aftermarket IAC is uninstallable

    I posted on here a week ago that I installed a new Idle Air Controller (IAC) and it made my car idle at 3000 rpm...I have a 95 gt with 125k and it would have trouble starting from time to time.....I disconnected the battery, checked all connections...etc....I almost crashed my car driving...

    Oops, IAC disaster

    Ok....so my 95 gt with 125k began to have a rough idle and sometimes it was difficult to start, so I took off the IAC and cleaned it....after that, there was a noticeable difference.....but sometimes there was still a difficult start. I bought a new IAC and when putting it on, I stripped the...

    Doesn't want to start....sometimes?

    In that case.... It did start right up this morning without a hitch......since it has 125k, I am going to start replacing parts a little at a time.....starting with a total tune up, then the IAC, MAF and the TB. Thanks

    Doesn't want to start....sometimes?

    It worked It is 30 degrees here in Michigan and I left my car out for over 2 hrs...anyway..it fired right up with no problem...it started at 1000 rpm's and did not bounce at all. I hope that was it. Thanks

    Doesn't want to start....sometimes?

    Not sure It is a 95 GT...connected to the Throttle Body are two cables that both look like accelerator cables. One of them had become disconnected probably from when I took apart and cleaned the K&N filter a couple of months ago. I hope that the one that was disconnected was a choke cable (or...

    HVAC fan speed control only works on 4?

    Easy to fix I posted this a bit ago after I had the same problem: My HVAC blower motor would run only on the high setting, and it was blowing weakly on the high setting. I had been putting off buying a new blower motor for probably the last year because it was still working, somewhat. I...

    Doesn't want to start....sometimes?

    95 gt is my daily driver with 125k. Battery was going bad over a couple of months, it would give very little crank, but it would start up each time. Finally the battery gave out, so I bought a new one. Here is the problem.....about every other day, from a cold start...the starter just...

    HVAC blower motor problem...thanks

    My HVAC blower motor would run only on the high setting, and it was blowing weakly on the high setting. I had been putting off buying a new blower motor for probably the last year because it was still working, somewhat. I read on this site about a "blower motor resistor" which is a crappy...

    Wierd noise from the engine

    I don't know if this is your problem, but a couple of years ago I had a whine that would come and go. It would get louder when I accelerated, like very loud. When the car was running, I wiggled the distributor cap and the sound would change pitch. I replaced the cap and rotor, but the whine...
