    Need AOD help ASAP please!

    If I remember correctly, it's a plug that was installed into the bottom end of the drain tube that goes into the tranny at the factory. When they stuck the dip stick in, on the assembly line, the plug got push into the pan area. So toss it. Anyone confirm this?

    radiator cap leaking?

    Well from your post, your only looking at leaks at the heater core, (inside the car) and at the radiatior cap. I would suggest listening to the above posts and when you take your car for a drive and you smell anti-freeze, shut it down and get under the hood. It could be leaking at any other...

    TPS Sensors Driving me CRAZY!!!!!!

    5min.s to clear the battery might not be enough. I've always used at least 20 min's. Also, if your using a code scanner, all you have to do is turn the scanner to the hold or off position while it is flashing the codes, and the codes will be cleared out of the EEC. Is your car running bad...

    Gas guage problem

    Fuel sending unit is located in the fuel tank. When you replaced the pump, you must have a wire/filter screen from the pump hitting or interfering with the float. Remove the fuel pump to check what's interfereing with the sending unit. Maybe the orientation of the screen or pump is off a...

    I need some help with my driveability issues and codes!!!

    98 (r): Hard fault present. The ECA is running in FMEM (Failure Effects Management Mode), so something is royally screwed up that the KOEO test should have told you about. Rerun KOEO and fix whatever you find there.

    A/C question, no middle vent air???

    It could be the vacuum line. Get your head into the passenger foot well and look up under the dash next to the center console and look for a vacuum control cylinder, (brass in color). A yellow vacuum line should be connected to the side of it via a nipple. If it is disconnected, you will have...

    Losing oil AND coolant but no smoke?

    The oil consumption is normal. To burn a quart every 3000 on a low mileage 5.0 is normal. The coolant loss is something you have to look at. If you don't see white smoke and or coolant in your oil, your leaking it somewhere and it's possibly drying up. Don't you smell antifreeze anywhere in...

    engine stuttering...driving me insane

    When was the last time you did a tuneup on the car? Bad Oxygen sensors wouldn't let the car buck and surge that violently. A good set of plugs, wires, cap and rotor, cleaning the throttle body might clean up this problem. It also could be a bad TPS sensor. Scan for codes after the tuneup...

    Weird oil issue, any ideas? Look!

    I'm going to ask an obvious question that didn't come up in your question or any of the other posts, but I have to ask. Did you remove BOTH drain plugs on the oil pan? You probably did, but we need to discount it.

    How to tell if O2s are bad?

    Ok, if the CEL blipped on and then off, you most probably have a stored code in the EEC.

    How to tell if O2s are bad?

    Scan for codes first before you spend any money. A good tuneup always helps as well.

    AOD Problem NOT TV cable.

    Does it only happen from the 1st to 2nd shift? Ok, saw that you said is slipped while in first. If you drive down the road and then hit the gas a little, it will slip until you let off the gas a little , then it will shift into second, right? If that's the case, I have a solution for you...

    swapping seats

    I don't see why not, just bolt the new seat to your seat tracks if it doesn't. Most stangers replace their seats with '94 and up Mustang GT seats. Best bang for the buck.

    Undercarriage rust

    Depends where on the undercarriage it is, and how much you want to spend on the car. If you want the cheap way, just to keep it nice a couple of more years, then you can do it yourself. I suspect your talking about the floorboards. That sheet metal is pretty thin. But what I would do is sand...
