    fuel gauge

    Mr TurboChicken, the trouble might be in the tank sending unit, rather than the gauge. IIRC, there's three or four wires going to the tank, one of which is the sender wire for the gauge. If you can find this wire, and ground it to the chassis, the gauge will peg showing a full tank. If you don't...

    sudden loss of oil pressure in 92 2.3

    Yep, I agree with the previous posters in that it's probably a clogged pick-up screen, and the problem will re-appear. I had the same thing in my 92, and these model years seem to be prone to clogging. Ford used a sealant on the oil pan instead of a gasket, and it indeed deteriorates over time...

    I really need you guys help on this one

    2.3LXHatch, I assume this is a speed density engine and not MAF...? You should have a MAP or BAP sensor if it's speed density. It's mounted on the driver's side firewall. Might be worthwhile to check this since it runs OK at WOT. Once a speed density ECU goes into closed loop, it controls the...

    I really need you guys help on this one

    Thanks, she is cute and a Ford gal LOL. I just re-read your posting, and see that you get a code 63, TPS voltage too low. I'll just bet it's dead. Good luck.

    I really need you guys help on this one

    Black smoke means it's running rich, blue is oil smoke, white is usually because of a coolant leak. If you've disabled the EGR, that's why the 31 code is in memory; shouldn't cause the sputtering..... A bad O2 wouldn't cause the sputtering either; just make it run rich. To check the...

    NE1 put glasspacks on there SVO or GT turbo??

    70Mach, like you say, you don't need much muffling with a turbo. I'd stick with a straight-through type though; something that would help to extract the gases. I have a Moroso Spiral Flow on my Bronco, that works well. These work well with turbos, I've heard. They're expensive though...

    Failing Fuel Pump

    It's an electric fuel pump, right? If it runs OK, the pump is probably OK; dosen't take much pressure for a carb. Maybe you need to enrichen the choke just a bit.....? If an electric pump (for a carb) has fuel in the line, and the carb float bowl is full, it'll make very little noise when you...

    dancing

    If all the suspension pieces are OK, then poor tracking is usually caused by an alignment toe-out condition. The wider 10 holes would make it more pronounced. A quick check is to stretch a string from the back to front tire sidewalls. Then you can observe whether you've got toe-in or toe-out...

    I really need you guys help on this one

    2.3LXhatch, a code 31 is "EGR valve position (EVP) sensor or PFE sensor - low signal voltage. Or EGR vacuum regulator solenoid circuit problems." Your problem seems to be EGR related, at least one of them. You might try cleaning the EGR valve first; they tend to get carboned up and quit...

    Just another mourning message another dead SVO

    Interesting.....I wanted to do that swap to a Bronco II I used to own. Never got around to it. I'll bet the Jeep is a nice rig, with the lighter 2.3T engine in front and more power than the old I6.......

    Paint/Bodywork Question

    I'd replace that door, especially since you already have one. It will take a lot of time to fix the dents, and probably wouldn't look as straight as the original formed metal. The crease would be hard to take out, because of where it's at.

    Whats wrong? =(

    Yellowstang, this is a classic symptom of a faulty ignition switch........ Run a jumper wire from the battery side of the starter solenoid to the positive terminal on the coil. Then try to start it. If it starts OK, replace the ignition switch. Don't run it for an extended time with the...

    Whats wrong? =(

    Yellowstang, by any chance are you running solid core plug wires? If so, change the wire between the coil and distributor cap to a resistor type. (You can keep the solid core wires that go to the plugs.) This should solve your starting problem.

    Driveline angle problem.

    Jay, as you probably already know, the driveline angles need to be nearly the same on both the transmission end and the pinion end. (if the pinion angle is 2* [positive], then the trans output should also be 2* [negative]) This holds true for a driveshaft with single u-joints on each end. It...

    POR-15 failure...

    POR-15 seals the rust from water and oxygen, thereby preventing further rusting, but if you want something better, try a rust converter. It changes the chemical composition of the rust, and seems to work better than the POR-15 does. The Interstate Co. makes a good converter, and I've heard good...

    Help Please

    The water is entering at the seam where the light lens joins the reflector. Using Ponycar's suggestion of drilling a hole will remove the water, but you need to keep the water out so it won't blow your bulbs. I used a bead of clear silicone around the seam to seal mine; works great.

    1997 Ford Mustang - Completly Dead! No power getting into the car! Battery is fine

    Fred, you'll first have to jack it up enough to get underneath. Then loosen the negative battery cable where it connects to a starter bolt. Clean the cable end and bolt with a wire brush, and then reinstall the cable. This seems to be a problem area with the V-6 Mustangs for some reason......

    40bob mufflers

    The straight-through with the perforated pipe looks to be the exact same design as a Magnaflow. As to the chambered muffler, who knows? It would have to be either the Flowmaster design or the MAC FlowPath. Since muffler design/production is very involved, I'll bet he is buying these from...

    Moroso Spiral flow Mufflers

    Thanks, Whitey, better late than never. :nice: I put the Moroso on my Bronco with a 351M and single exhaust. Man, was it LOUD. I looked for a resonator to tone it down a bit, and settled on an IMCO single chamber (Flowmaster clone). I attached the IMCO directly behind the Moroso, then ran the...

    Problem with my 92 2.3

    Sounds like the trouble starts when it goes into closed loop. If the ICM is OK, then I'd look at the MAF being bad or dirty. Symptom of a MAF problem will be a loss of power above 2000 rpm.
