    strange problem after re-installing egr

    I had a strange problem after I tried to re-install my egr valve. I removed it and started the car for 10 min. and it started and ran fine. I decided to put it back on after two days of sitting. Once everything was re-installed I started the car. It would crank over but would not stay...

    CEL on after EGR removal

    I may have forgotten to tighten the bolts all the way on the block off plate. That may be it. Of course I'll know for sure what the code is when I get home.

    CEL on after EGR removal

    I removed my egr and started the car. I let it idle for 30 min. No check engine light. I turned off the EGR switch with my Predator and drove for 10 to 15 minutes. No check engine light at that time either. I shut the car off for 5 min. and restarted it and the CEL immediately came on and...

    Tranny Cooler Questions

    I used a TRU-COOL made by Long. I got it from www.bulkpart.com I got the biggest one made 22" long 7" high. It came with all the fittings you need to get the job done. You will need an extra 5 feet of hose. Also, as long as you run it in-line with the radiator there is no need to cut the...

    Best way to remove EGR tube?

    So I got the EGR delete plate and manifold cap. I have a 2001 GT and it looks like the tube runs down the driver's side. Do I have to remove anything to get to it and what tool should I use?

    Lost Power :( ... please help

    Ditch the plugs that you have and use Autolite 764 plugs. It was the best $9.60 I ever spent. And that was for all 8 plugs. The car ran smooth as silk and acceleration was better than new with 70K mile on the clock. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, double check that all the plug wires are on...

    Can I change shocks/struts,springs myself?

    All those post seem convincing that I should be able to do it on my own. I can see how to get the shocks and struts out. But what should be removed to get the springs out. I saw a write up on the shocks where someone took the caliper off ( I don't like touching the brakes)... Also is...

    Can I change shocks/struts,springs myself?

    I guess I could do it myself. I'm just afraid that if I start it on Saturday and screw up I can't go to work on Monday. I'm thinking that the ford dealer shouldn't take too long to do it. Plus I don't have a torque wrench that will go that high or a 13/16" wrench. I do have 2 jacks and 4...

    Can I change shocks/struts,springs myself?

    Looks like it might be enough work to let a shop do it all at once while I'm at work. I just called my local ford dealer and they said that they would do it.

    Can I change shocks/struts,springs myself?

    If you have all the right tools? How hard is it to replace the front struts and springs and rear shocks and springs on a 2001 GT? Should I be able to do this myself? I've never done that before, and if it's simply removing the old parts and replacing then I think I can handle that. I just...

    how to remove radiator from 01 GT

    I rounded off a brass fitting while installing my tranny cooler, and now there's a very very small leak from it (maybe 10 drops in 10 hours). I figure the only way to remove and replace the fitting is to get the radiator out and remove it. Plus this will give me a chance to get the radiator...

    Hex size for oil and coolant plugs?

    What's the hex key size for the plug by the oil pressure switch and the coolant plug on the passenger side of the block? I'll be installing autometer sending units in there and I'd rather buy one bit instead of a set.

    oil seperator works

    It can be done for $20.00 I just spent too much on the hose because I was already at the hydrolic place and the hose looked really cool. It matched the top of the seperator. I dont think I gained much HP if any at all. I just figured that it's best to have air and fuel only in the...

    oil seperator works

    So since I had a few days off this weekend I installed a Long Tru-Cool tranny cooler (40,000lb GVW), an oil seperator, and a Mach 1 Grille Delete. After finishing the tranny cooler I took the car for a few hard runs up and down the highway. I noticed that when I got back that there was some...

    Best Auto Tranny cooler?

    Long Mfg. Phone number 1-800-753-7336 It was a tough one to find. I seem to be missing the two inverted flare fittings for the TRU-COOL 40,000lb GVW cooler. I also found a place that stocks 3/8 male inverted flare to hose barb fittings. Part number 10006B-B06...
