    Converting gt to an lx? Frowned upon?

    I'll post picks when the car is back, maybe by this weekend.

    IS MY MECHANIC ROBBING ME?

    LOL! This sounds just like my experience with the body shop that just "resto'd" my '90 GT. Take it, there was some rust discovered when the mouldings were removed, but I went from a $6000 estimate for body work and paint to $10,000 when the bill arrived. Take it, I can't finish the car this...

    Electric Fan ?

    Go for the DCC, you can have the whole thing wired up and running in ten minutes if you take your time.

    Converting gt to an lx? Frowned upon?

    I personally wouldn't do it. Around me, most ads are for LX's, not GT's. If you really want an LX, sell the GT and buy another car. If you want to streamline the look of your GT, try a Cobra rear bumper and possibly a Stalker front. Did that to mine, looks real nice.

    DCC HELP! NOT WORKING?

    I just hooked my DCC up two weekends ago. If memory serves me correctly, pins 1 and 2 are for the temp sensor, and leaving all other pins un-jumped will set the unit to turn the fan on at 180*. The reason why I suggested this was to verify that you didn't have the jumpers on the wrong pins.

    DCC HELP! NOT WORKING?

    Pull all the jumpers to see if it kicks in at 180*. Perhaps you jumped it incorrectly. Also, I do believe that there are two pins to avoid jumping or you can damage the unit. Check your instructions.

    Complete Fog Light Rewire?

    I'm going to tackle this in two or three weeks, the car is back at the body shop and I'll have plenty of time to work on it once it's back.

    Complete Fog Light Rewire?

    Fogs blow the fuse immediately, and I even put a brand new switch in. I'm figuring it's something with the harness, that's why I asked about bypassing the harness and rewiring the whole thing. Since rebuilding the car with the help of a mechanic, I've gotten more daring with a lot of this stuff...

    Complete Fog Light Rewire?

    Complete Fog Light Rewire?

    I know that there is a foglight fix on Corral, and I've been cobbling together the parts to perform this fix, but I'm looking at the possibility of this not fixing my problem. Has anyone here done a complete rewire of the foglights on their GT? I'm just thinking that maybe there's an issue with...

    Hard time starting when hot

    Look at it this way: when the car is cool, or cools down a bit, it fires right up. Drive it or run it for a while, it just won't fire up. It almost seems like it's flooding, and it definitley runs rich. Smells like you're on a boat with the fumes from the thing. Funny thing was, I drive it back...

    Hard time starting when hot

    Good thing you bring up the timing, we just put the engine back in the car and the rest of the car was just fully re-assembled. I'm going to give it a full tune-up and readjust the timing. Thanks.

    Hard time starting when hot

    Title pretty much says it all. Car starts fine when it's cold, but once it's warmed up, it won't spark. Any takers on this one?

    Fog Light Issue

    Scratch that question: I re-read the instructions and got it backwards. Hey, I'm learning here.

    Fog Light Issue

    Let me ask another question before I order the part (no parts store I've been to has this part): the 3M Moisture Resistant Tap Connector is the one I want, I assume. In the directions it says to place the 250" female blade connector into the tap connector, but from the pic I'm looking at, I...

    Fog Light Issue

    Thanks, I just don't want to buy the wrong piece and set my newly resoted car on fire.

    Fog Light Issue

    Well, I went to retrieve all the parts to attempt the corral.net foglight fix and found that Radio Shack p/n 64-3067 (moisture resistant tap-in connector) no longer appears to exist. I went to two stores, both told me the same thing and cross referenced in case it was an old part number. I went...

    Fog Light Issue

    There is absolutely no damage to my wiring or switches.

    Fog Light Issue

    Ok, well, since it can't be the fog lights that were affecting the starting of the engine, and the engine is now running, what should I be looking for to resolve this headlight issue? I would like to get them up and running again without starting a fire on my newly painted and reassemble 5.0...

    Fog Light Issue

    Fuse was checked, it's fine, that's why I assumed that there may have been a relay. We had the whole dash apart and was going to install 50resto's fog light repair kit, but it looked as if someone already took care of that - the connectors were clean and marked OK and the #15 circuit looked like...
