    Passenger Window

    It happened once the my drivers side glass was going up a little too much... It was the glass itself that detached from the clamp... I removed the glass and the clamp, cleaned and reassembled it with a strong adhesive... There are two bumps that prevent the glass from going up too much... as...

    Very strange Starting and driving electrical issue

    Sorry... I misread your post... the whistling sound on mine was from the alternator, not from the tweeter... so disregard a rectifier failure... but for sure something is draining your battery...

    Very strange Starting and driving electrical issue

    When the gauges sweep when turning the ignition, it indicates that the battery voltage is too low... It happens also when you start the first time after reconnecting the battery... A defective battery will cause the gauges to do that every time you try to start up the engine. Regarding the...

    Alternator tests fine, only makes 12.4v on car???

    12.6 V is too low... I am used to see 13.5 V... 12.6 V is battery voltage... if alt is OK check regulator... I had the same problem with an AUTOLITE electromechanical regulator, it was sending only 11.8 V thus not charging the battery... I replaced it with a new electronic one...

    Air Conditioning works but..

    This sounds strange. The only things that will turn off the compressor are high discharge pressure, low suction pressure, WOT... Am I leaving something out? Is there a thermostatic switch on the evaporator (like '68s have) or elsewhere? Is the WOT sensor malfunctioning thus telling the CCRM A/C...

    where to find IAC valve

    I have had jumpin' idle caused by A/C compressor cycling due to low charge. If yours cycles with A/C off you can discard that and focus on IAC. On the other hand, have you tried to let the computer to relearn the idle settings after the last time you had your battery disconnected? The procedure...

    Car won't stop turning over

    If low battery, solenoid will click once and starter motor will not turn or turn slowly not firing up the engine. If very low battery, solenoid will rattle. For the things you have mentioned I would check these two things: 1.- Voltage feed. If solenoid if sticking your engine will keep...

    Sputtering 00' GT

    Right... also check each coil impedance when you remove them to check the plugs gap. If I remember well, it's like 5 ohm and 50,000 ohm. I do not have my manual at hand but you can check the numbers on a Haynes or similar. I do not think of anything besides that...

    Air Conditioning works but..

    Agree with Bob and Will... around here with the car being sitting in the sun all the time and hot days I got 110 PSI. When it gets below 70 PSI there is a leak...

    160° vs 180° Thermostat?

    There are charts showing that an engine running consistently below design temperature wears faster that normal. The behaviour is exponential. Right clearances are at normal running temperature. I used to have these charts but I gave away a lot of Ford literature to the guy that bought my '68...

    Air Conditioning Won't work

    I replaced the CCRM through the openings in the engine bay. I just removed my K&N air filter (no air box). There is a screw securing the connector to the CCRM and two bolt securing the CCRM mounting bracket to the car. Do not remove the two bolts completely. Just unscrew them a little so you...

    Windshield Washer Adjustment

    Mine also sprays too high on the passenger side... The black plastic thing (cowl?) is deformed thus making the nozzle points higher than normal... I just wash at high speeds so the flow falls on the windshield... Cheers...

    Studdering under load/acceleration (not fuel filter)

    I had the same problem... it started only at high RPMs... I checked the spark plugs, all OK... I checked the impedance on all coils, all OK... Last week it started to happen at low RPM's as well but only when my gas tank was below 3/4 full... I replaced the fuel pump... the suction...
