    low coolant temp sensor

    Green Sales Company in Cincinnati specializes in obsolete Ford parts. They've come up with whatever I've needed every time I've used them.

    low coolant temp sensor

    If you're referring to the sensor that triggers the low coolant light then I would say to not even worry about getting a new one. It doesn't ready accurately anyways. My car had essentially ZERO coolant in the system and the light turned off after I filled the reservoir to the "full" line...

    Bad Thermostat?

    That's exactly where I suspect the leak to be - lower passenger side of the radiator. I assumed the radiator cracked when the car overheated (badly) a couple months ago when the ground wire to the fan went bad.

    Bad Thermostat?

    *UPDATE* I believe my radiator is cracked. I got underneath the car and there was coolant covering the underside all the way back past the steering rack. Mishimoto is sending me a new one, but is there any way to prep the radiator prior to installation that will prevent future leaks, etc...

    bbk long tubes

    I have the same setup and my h-pipe did not come with hangers either. Simply bolting it to the cat-back and the headers is all the support it really needs. It also makes adjustments a little bit easier. One thing I would recommend for the headers would be to have the coated prior to...

    Can you set mileage on speedo?

    If I'm not mistaken, when you tamper with the odometer the numbers will not line up as they did initially. I've been told it's designed that way so you can tell if an odometer has been messed around with.

    Bad Thermostat?

    I had the cooling system completely flushed and filled at a Valvoline center. They checked for air in the system and didn't find any. This problem I've been having started happening before I had the system flushed.

    Bad Thermostat?

    What else should I look for as telltale signs of a blown head gasket? The low coolant light comes on every few weeks and I've had a feeling a blown gasket is the culprit.

    Optima Battery Mount

    I'll have to make a custom battery tray because that is where my biggest issue is. The 34/78 battery is too big to fit in the tray and the factory plastic one is bending. I'll just deal with it until I put in the trunk. Thanks for you helps guys.

    Bad Thermostat?

    The cooling fan does come on. I was actually going to ask how I can wire it so it stays on all the time. Any negative side-effects to doing this? Where is the ECT located? I wouldn't mind swapping that out at the same time as the thermostat.

    Bad Thermostat?

    What type of thermostat would you recommend? The only temp gauge I have is in the stock instrument panel.

    Bad Thermostat?

    I thought I had put my cooling system issues behind me but there appears to be something wrong still. Just to give you guys a timeline: August: Replaced radiator, cooling fan, and thermostat December: No heat coming from vents, fan stopped working causing overheating - had a complete...

    Optima Battery Mount

    I just installed a 34/78 Redtop in my car with the help of one of the supplied adapters from Optima. It seems to be secure, but it is definitely not as secure as the battery before. How are you all mounting your Optimas in the engine bay? And before anyone says it, I know I should put it in...

    Parts Diagrams

    Are the diagrams that ford techs have access to available anywhere online? I have some diagrams in my Haynes manual, but I would like to have all the part numbers for our cars too. Little things here and there keep going bad and it's a pain to track things down. Thanks in advance...

    Heater Core causing OVERheating?

    The smell isn't anything new. It's been there for over a year. By "burning hot" were you suggesting that I run it on high for a week straight to see if the smell disappears? Also, the doors are closing tightly and I was just under the car and tightened up the exhaust. The smell is coming...

    Heater Core causing OVERheating?

    *UPDATE* I had the entire cooling system flushed which apparently freed up a blockage within the heater core. I have TONS of hot air coming out now! The cooling fan wasn't turning on due to the ground wire coming loose inside the electrical wrapping. I put some radiator leak stopper in my...

    Heater Core causing OVERheating?

    What exactly do I need to do to test the fan? I can wire and re-wire with the best of them, but the actual testing of individual wires is probably my weak point.

    Heater Core causing OVERheating?

    There are 3 plugs. I know it's the correct fan. It definitely isn't turning on. I just had my car sit at idle with the A/C at Max and it didn't kick on. I wonder if there are just a bunch of little things happening that are causing this larger problem. If there is air in the system, why...

    just finished fluidyne and rpm intake install; now car starts but shuts right off

    My buddy had the same problem in his 93 Cobra after putting a BBK SSI intake on. It turned out to be a pinched wire leading to the MAP sensor. It gets crowded rearranging everything in there so it's most definitely an easy thing to pinch a wire and not know it. Good luck

    Heater Core causing OVERheating?

    If I'm not mistaken, Fox body fans are belt driven while SN95 fans are electric. This fan was made with an electric setup and fit perfectly into the car without any modifications. I'd also like to point out that up until the extremely cold weather everything was working fine. As soon as I can...
