    Random No-Starts

    Sometimes a coil will fail intermittently when they're on their way out. You can check the health of your coil with a multimeter. From Chilton manual 26608: (the resistance readings are for a stock coil) Primary resistance: Disconnect the wires from the coil and connect an ohmmeter accross...

    Removing seized ignition lock cylinder

    Anybody know how to get one of these things out? I know there is a little pin that one is supposed to press inwards and then they should slide right out of the housing, but my cylinder is stuck in the off position (you can only press in the pin after you've turn the key to the run position--for...

    Torx fastener on Idler Pulley -- Stripped --

    Good advice. I'm definitely going to hit it with some sort of penetrating solution. Once I get the new bolt in the mail, I'll give it a shot and let you guys know.

    Torx fastener on Idler Pulley -- Stripped --

    In case anyone else suffers this same fate, here's an update: After some research I've found a "custom idler bolt" that claims to replace the factory torx fastener. It's for sale on WazeePulleys.com and comes with a cute little billet spacer, lol, 1994-1995-50-idler-pulley . Just...

    Torx fastener on Idler Pulley -- Stripped --

    As the title says, I stripped that cone-headed torx bolt that holds on our static idler pulleys. I believe I was using the correct sized torx socket (t-50, IIRC) but even so, that thing stripped faster than a $20 call girl. Anybody else been down this road? I just drenched the...

    Is it normal for the tensioner to bounce slightly?

    Cool, thanks for the input, guys. I picked up an idler pulley for peanuts so I'll replace that and see if the noise is eliminated before going any further with the tensioner. Merry xmas btw!

    Is it normal for the tensioner to bounce slightly?

    Hmm, perhaps the tensioner is fine then. Ugh, I'd hate to replace it without a full confirmation of its faultiness--dimes are thin this time of year, lol. Thanks for your response.

    Is it normal for the tensioner to bounce slightly?

    I've been trying to diagnose a squeak coming from my belt area for the last week--it sounded as if it was coming from the tensioner/tensioner pulley so I replaced the pulley but to no avail. It still squeaks at idle and at low speeds. While checking to see if all the pulleys were aligned...

    Crank but no start. Fuel pump? No Spark? Both?!%

    Ahh, I figured there was some sort of step I wasn't considering, lol. Thanks. Interesting. I'll see if I can pin point that plug and make sure its properly seated. Thanks for the tip! BTW am I the only one here who gets excited when I have car parts coming in the mail even when they're...

    Crank but no start. Fuel pump? No Spark? Both?!%

    Alright. I've got a FP gauge but the fitting didn't seem to be applicable to the shrader valve. The weird thing is, I know I've used it before :shrug: So I'll just have to tinker around and remember how I used it last time. Before I start diagnosing fuel issues I'll have to wait on some new...

    Crank but no start. Fuel pump? No Spark? Both?!%

    Ok, so after writing a beautifully detailed grocery list, I hopped into the car to head to the store. When I turned the key, the motor cranked but wouldn't start. I tested the battery and it's fully charged, so I started looking suspiciously at the fuel system. I hopped back in the car and...

    Did my clutch cable snap?

    Update: Got this in the mail: Steeda Double Hook Clutch Quadrant and Clutch Adjustment Kit It took me about 3 hours to install everything: quadrant, cable, and firewall adjuster. There were a few tricky parts but it seems to be running smoothly. The only thing I'm a little concerned with...

    Did my clutch cable snap?

    Well, wish me luck then! I'm mostly just not looking forward to the bike ride lol.

    Did my clutch cable snap?

    HmmMMmmmMMmmm, I'm almost tempted to pedal the road bike up there tonight at like 12:30 and see if I can get it home by trying to crank it up in gear. It's about 3 miles away.

    No my car is the stock height.

    Did my clutch cable snap?

    I guess my next question is, how hard is it to replace a clutch cable? I have a guide in my all encompassing "fix your mustang" book but it's fairly limited. Anybody know of a good pictoral guide online? Does any one have any specific tips for the process in our cars? Most importantly, will...

    Did my clutch cable snap?

    lol, now that's tenacity. :nice: I checked under the dash like Hef advised and after maneuverer the quadrant back and forth a couple times in attempt to get a grasp of how things were put together under there, this literally fell into my hand:

    Did my clutch cable snap?

    Unfortunately, even if I got to the bottom of the hill, I'd have two red lights to get through before I would be on my way to anywhere helpful. Thanks for the info though.
