    Is it time for a new radiator?

    The coolant is directly below the radiator, so I thought that was the problem. If you click on the picture, it will blow up and you will see what I mean. I haven't checked the cap though.. Where would it "squirt out"?

    Chk engine light - Code 11's - what next?

    In recent threads you will see I have been having a problem with my check engine light coming on/off sporadically while I am driving. I got an LED scanner and got code 11's just now on the KOEO test and KOER test. Where do I look next? I am thinking to take all the contacts on all of...

    Is it time for a new radiator?

    Initially when I saw a couple of drops of antifreeze directly below the water pump, I thought that was the problem.. After I ran the car at 2k RPM's before the KOER test, here is what I found... Is it time for a new radiator? Radiator and water pump while I'm at it? Shawn

    Felpro water pump gasket - sealant/no sealant?

    The Duralast pump I just bought has a gasket on the pump already (which I will remove and put in the Felpro). Do I need sealant pump to plate and plate to block or just plate to block?

    Felpro water pump gasket - use sealant or no sealant? That is the question.. I heard some say yes to both.. Any good tips on water pump installation? From the forums I do not think it will be too bad..

    How do I test sensors?

    Sounds good, I ordered the Equus and it will be here Friday. I'll take the other back to Autozone. I ran the test a couple times, but I am still not sure if it is a 22 or an 11. I shall know soon enough. I appreciate all the input, and I'll report back when I have more info. Shawn

    How do I test sensors?

    So I got a $30 reader from Autozone.. I am not sure where the guy prior to me was getting a code 13, but it seems like I am getting either a 11 or a 22. I am leaning toward an 11, but if I do, what is causing the check engine light? KOEO: BEEP - BEEP PAUSE BEEP - BEEP VERY LONG...

    How do I test sensors?

    Idling seems like it has nothing to do with this problem, and I am trying to figure out why I cannot get any codes at all. Initially the guy at Autozone got the code 67 and 13 - now I can't get anything. I ran the test with clutch in neutral just as it said.

    How do I test sensors?

    I just ran the scanner and cannot get any codes EO or ER. I can tell that the motor picked up a scanner because with EO I heard the relays go off, and with ER it revved up. I noticed there were a couple small drops of antifreeze on the ground so there is another problem I have to fix. On top...

    How do I test sensors?

    I am getting a code 13, and I replaced my IAC valve, and I am still getting it. The check engine light only seems to some on sporadically so it seems to me that there is a bad sensor somewhere. The car runs perfect, I just don't know how to go about testing for bad sensors.. There seems to be...

    Cannot control RPM during ER Self-Test low RPM check

    You will all get a laugh at this (or tell me how stupid I am).. I bought a new IAC from Autozone (Duralast). JUNK. My car idled up and down between 550-700 or so. I took it back. I put on my old IAC and this is what happened when I tightened it. So I just now bought a Motercraft...

    Cannot control RPM during ER Self-Test low RPM check

    First of all, thank you all TREMENDOUSLY for guiding me along. I really appreciate it.. I took off the IAC - looked pretty clean - I wiped it out as best as I could - I even took it apart to clean in there as well. I looked for problems with vac lines. There is nothing apparent to me...

    Cannot control RPM during ER Self-Test low RPM check

    LarsD, Not sure if this helps also, but check it out.. I cannot understand a lot of what is being said: How to Tune and Modify Ford Fuel ... - Google Books Pg. 74... I am going to try to disconnect the IAC connection tonight when I get home. If the RPMs drop when I disconnect, does that...

    Cannot control RPM during ER Self-Test low RPM check

    89 Mustang 5.0 Check engine light has been coming on/off for the past month or so. It only seems to come on when I accelerate, and then immediately turns off. At that it doesn't ALWAYS come on when I accelerate, just sometimes. My buddy ran KOEO test (not sure why he didn't do a test with...
