    Installed auto meter water temp sensor in block

    I installed the water temp sensor in the engine block on the drivers side blow the last freeze out plug on my 2001 GT. I tightened it all the way until it felt like it bottomed out. There was only like 1 thread left to go. I'm thinking the stock plug was like this too because there was...

    Missing and Lagging. Cleaning the COP's?

    0.55 ohms is actually tough for an average meter to measure acurately. So it's not uncommon to get 0.6 The secondary is the one that will be better for the average to measure. I've had coils measure near perfect and still miss when installed.

    What's trapped in your cd changer?

    Nothing, after the Alpine and Ipod took it's place. Mine jammed in between changing cd's. I disconnected the battery for 1 hour and then reconnected it. This will force the CD player to reset and I was able to use it again.

    Missing and Lagging. Cleaning the COP's?

    The haynes manual has a procedure to test each coil with an ohm meter. I'll look it up when I get home. That way you only have to replace the coils that don't work. I've had to replace 2 in 93K miles and it's always on a saturday so I wind up paying $90 from the local dealer.

    Help with stupid ABS Light

    Unfortunately, I'm still running the stock 17's with 245/45's I'm hoping to switch to those 18" Konigs that Maximum Motorsports stocks. They're only 24 Lbs. a piece. But first I have to install all my suspension crap that came yesterday. If this winds up to be the control module, I won't...

    Help with stupid ABS Light

    Finally got the light to come on at STS. They put their Snap On handheld scanner on and it gave nothing but errors when try to retrieve ABS codes. It wouldn't let them even get to the ABS menu. I'm starting to think their scanner won't work. I'll take it to the dealer on Thursday morning...

    Guide to replacing your 2001 Mach 460 head unit

    Do I have to drop the fuel tank to install a battery tray in the trunk?

    I'm going to take the tray underneath and see if there's a way I can position it so that when I drill I wont be near anything. But if dropping the tank a little doesn't require any fuel line disconnects, it's a no brainer
