    I used silicone heater hose for the junction egr connection. The hose is expensive but can handle the heat. Used it many times with no problems.

    Really need some tech help. Starting problem intermittent

    Seems as though the new block ground cable I installed was not grounding. I moved it to another spot from the stock spot by the oil filter and BAM, starts every time. So now I feel overworked and a little dumb. I actually took the starter and the battery out used some jumper cables and a...

    Check engine light?????

    get a code checker. If it is a 313 like mine was, it was to little egr flow. I found that the egr vacuum had come off. Once plugged in, the light went out. Really you can't do anything until you read the codes.

    Best drop in radiator?

    What I heard. That was my comment. You still said you had to modify your Griffen. Right? Look at the subject line. Some people don't want to do all the fancy cutting and flipping around. I happen to like the Steeda because it is an exact drop in, nice and thick and looks beautiful. Maybe...

    What causes a BATT light to come on? Car still will not start HELP!!!!!!

    OK. jrichker, I have done everything you have said already, more than once. The starter is the fifth starter including the original stock starter. I put in new 4 gauge cables with gold plated terminals to block, chassis (removed paint at contact) and starter. But, do you really think that I...

    how much could i sell engine/tranny for?

    First of all, separate the two pieces. Someone is always looking for a new T-5 to do a tranny swap. Second, list it as a 306 CI and put that bugar on Ebay. I imagine you could get $800 + for the engine and $300 + for the tranny dependant on its condition (good synchros help).

    Best drop in radiator?

    The best stock type replacement is a Steeda 3 core aluminum. Fits right in, is beautiful but is over $300. You want good, you must pay. I plan to put the Steeda in this summer before it get hot again. The griffen and becool (from what I have heard) are generic radiators and dont match up...

    What causes a BATT light to come on? Car still will not start HELP!!!!!!

    I had the battery tested last week and it tested good but a low charge. I set it on the charger all night. My alt was only putting out 12.5 V at idle. I replaced the alt and there was no change. I even took the car for a ten mile drive, brought it home, shut it down and no start. just a...

    Really need some tech help. Starting problem intermittent

    I actually have two posts on this now. But, I got up this morning after installing the ign switch. The car did not start after running for 5 minutes. It just turns over at a crawl like the solonoid is not contacting. But I have installed THREE starters and the original did the same. I am...

    What causes a BATT light to come on? Car still will not start HELP!!!!!!

    What causes the BATT light to come on? I am charging at 14+ and the battery sits at 12.5 volts avg. I have been having staring problems recently and thought I had it fixed with the ignition switch change. Now the battery light is on when I jump it or let it sit for a while (it will start)...

    Help Needed - Long Post

    Where is the smell coming from, inside the car or under the hood? I just replaced an ignition switch last night that was giving me intermittent problems. It sounds like you have trouble shooted all the starter and ground wires. Thats what I did to no avail. Foxes had a recall on...

    Mustang will be gone in less than 5 years!

    Sheeeeet, The Mustang is the best seller next to the F150. Why the f would Ford get rid of the stang. You asked a dumb question. I will have a mustang for the rest of my life. Period. I can guarantee that there are Millions that could concur. The camaro/Firechicken line sucked. Sure...

    Really need some tech help. Starting problem intermittent

    I just replaced the ignition switch on the column. That was the trick. I never would have thought about it had I not had a previous experience with a fox body ign sw. The car starts like it is new now. My only problem is that I spent so much to get this car running and all it was was a $16...

    Headlights on black stang...

    I got clear lights with a black trim around them so they look kinda smoked. The corners are smoked. My black Cobra looks good now, not saying the diamond clears aren't nice too that it came with. The stock ones were a little faded/hazy. I like the blacked out front with dark tinted windows...

    Really need some tech help. Starting problem intermittent

    Could a bad ignition switch have anything to do with this? I have had problems in the past on foxes with the ignition sw not making a proper connection and no turnover. Any experience or a second on that switch?
