    Fox Anyone need connectors off the engine control wiring harness?

    Probably the wrong forum but, I'll just throw this out there. I'm getting ready to toss this engine control harness from a '93 5.0. Before I do, I wanted to see if anyone needs any connectors. I know people are always looking for a specific connector. A couple of $$ plus shipping is all...

    Electrical Best Braille Battery for Fox Mustang

    Seems like a total waste of money unless you've got $80k worth of upgrades already done to your car! Just spend $100 or so for a Walmart battery. Should be good for 5-6 years.

    SN95 Smog Pump in A Fox?

    Someone is giving you erroneous information. A smog pump is required, especially on a '79-'93 Mustang. That's why CA has a visual inspection too. When the smog tech pops the hood and notices a missing smog pump (glaring omission), that would be an epic FAIL!

    SN95 Smog Pump in A Fox?

    Yeah, it's a pity. Just a month ago, I threw away the smog pump off my '93 thinking 'who would ever need this'. I had pulled the motor last year to transplant in my '54 and hung onto everything I didn't use. Last month I cleaned the garage and tossed a bunch of stuff. Dumb! Could've...

    SN95 Smog Pump in A Fox?

    I believe '99 and older they pop the hood and do a visual and sniffer test. 2000 and up, they just plug into the data port and don't do a visual or sniffer. Of course, just like the OP, I'm in one of the 'enhanced counties'. They do things different here (not better).

    Electrical Assistance needed wiring 93 fox body

    If you really want to do it right, this is a factory wiring diagram. It's what Ford techs used at the dealership back in the day. Absolutely invaluable! It folds out into big 11"x17" pages and lists every circuit, connector, wire color and gauge in your car. I have one for every car I've...

    Electrical Assistance needed wiring 93 fox body

    No idea really. The two wires, one looks like Orange w/White tracer and can't tell the other one. The white plug, where is it on the car. Can't tell from the pic.

    Electrical Assistance needed wiring 93 fox body

    The 2 plugs you're holding in your hand in the first pic look suspiciously like the data link connector for reading codes. According to my '93 factory wiring diagram, the wiper motor should have two 3-prong connectors. One will have a Red, Black and Black w/Pink tracer wires coming out of it...

    Engine Do I have a standard or reverse rotation pump?

    Again, if the WP is turning counterclockwise, it's reverse rotation. If WP is turning clockwise, it's standard rotation. Mine was originally reverse rotation but I changed it to standard rotation cuz I didn't want all the belt mess that originally came with it. I had to change the timing cover...

    Engine Do I have a standard or reverse rotation pump?

    Mine runs 195* all day long and may creep to 205* sitting in traffic. It's a '93 5.0 installed in a '54 Ford. Motor is rebuilt but stock with the stock Mustang radiator and a 16" electric fan pulling 3000 cfm's.

    Engine Do I have a standard or reverse rotation pump?

    If your pump is spinning counter-clockwise as you're standing in front of the car, then yes, it's reverse rotation. The stock thermostat is 193*. Is your radiator large enough? Do you have an electric fan and is it spinning in the right direction and not reversed? Honestly, 195*-210* is...

    Water pump flange fell off

    I think I'd give Flow Kooler a call and mention there's an issue!

    Electrical I need a new engine wiring harness. Recommendations please.

    Just bringing this back from 4 months ago. UPDATE: I installed the Painless harness from Summit and all is right in the world! The car starts immediately, idles perfectly and runs smoothly. That 30 year old harness was definitely the problem! The Painless harness does away with the salt &...

    Hey whats up! More 2.3 power needed

    What he said^^^. If it were me, I'd just clean it up, paint it silver and call it a day. They rarely ever go bad.

    Hey whats up! More 2.3 power needed

    The hose from the fitting off the lower intake goes to the factory metal coolant lines that run off your oil filter cooler. Those metal lines will have a nipple for the hose to attach. This is your Kirban adjustable fuel pressure regulator........ To replace those fuel lines you'll need to...

    What in gods green earth happend to my N/A 2.3?

    It's a sign, the time has come. Yank that pig and toss it in the dumpster! Put your time, money and effort into the turbo motor. You probably thought you were gonna swap motors and have the car on the road in a weekend. Reality check......it doesn't work that way! Take your time, pull the...

    For the wiring conversion, step 2 is all you'll really need to do............ https://www.stinger-performance.com/turboswap2.html Also, I looked everywhere and I can't find the VAM connector. Good news is Stinger sell 'em! https://www.stinger-performance.com/store/wiring/pigtails/vam-pigtail-36

    Stinger has an adjustable boost valve, Chip probably has one too....... https://www.stinger-performance.com/store/mbc-manual-boost-controller-stage-2?search=boost%20valve and, your N/A fuel rail and injector wiring should work on the turbo motor.
