    Help With Source Of Water Leak (timing Gasket Or Pump) Pics

    A typical leak area on these is the thermostat housing gasket but if the water pump weep hole shows evidence of leaking, I would be planing on replacing it, and checking other areas while in there.

    Paint and Body Stripping A Car For Paint/body

    You can usually do all that you want to. If there are any parts lost, it is on you. If the shop I not real familiar with the type car you have, assembly may be an issue. I highly recommend finding the shop you want to use, then discuss with them how to proceed with tear down. I have done it both...

    Oil Pressure Issues?

    You might try cranking it over with nothing in the port for the manual oil pressure test. Might be plugged so the sensor sees no pressure. If there are no noises from the engine when running, maybe pull a valve cover and see if there is pressure there.

    Driver Side window wont go up.

    Yep, I solved the same issue with both back windows on our convertible. Held the switch and closed the door hard and that side rear window worked good....same on the other side. That issue got me $400 off the purchase price....

    Gauge Cluster Needles Wrong

    Just some thoughts....the gauges seem to have a set location when the car is off. I would look at that for a start....maybe look at another car as a starting point. Then do the gauge test thru the odometer and see if they do a full sweep and after that, see if the digital readout in the odometer...

    Fuel Gauge Issues

    Thanks for solidifying my thoughts. Should not be a big issue when I get ready....should be able to use a friends lift and tranny jack.

    Fuel Gauge Issues

    Have only put in 11 gal at the most, thought tank size was 14 gal....woops(old age sets in).....which puts it further off. Fuel level feature matches gauge reading....155 which indicates just above 1/2 tank which matchs the gauge but not the amount of fuel in the tank which is consistent when...

    One Bulb On Passenger Side Rear Blinker...

    Well, it is possibly the actual signal flashing system in the car that needs resistance to work properly. Do some research and you may find a way to make it work. Also, when posting issues, it helps to know any mods such as led bulbs.

    One Bulb On Passenger Side Rear Blinker...

    I think you may find the multifunctional (turn signal) switch is bad.....just a guess through. The brake signal and the turn signal power both travel the same wire so that should all be good. I am not sure if the power travels from the multifunction switch to another control or straight to the...

    Trunk Battery Relocation Thoughts

    2004 Mustang - Bogging Down

    Yep, locally things were about $2-4000 over any book pricing. I just kept looking and found an 02 GT VERT 5 speed that was stock. Not a perfect car but is way better than so many modified units I looked at. I look at what the insurance would pay if the car was stolen the day I bought it as a...

    Rebuilt Tittle

    Ask the seller and he does not know, ask for previous owner info. Ask for info on shop where it was repaired. If no results there, move on.

    Drivetrain Transmission Slips When Cold...help

    Do the rpms increase without the car moving? Does it jump when it starts out like it is suddenly dropped in gear? I do know that if your car has a large dead spot in the throttle action, it can feel like a bad tranny. It makes it seem like there is no forward movement as you gently depress the...

    4.10 Install Now Noisey

    Sounds to me like improper setup of the backlash. It does just as you say, quiet with power on....silent coasting or the opposite.

    Newbie: Just Bought My First Stang But Need Help!

    If they did in fact remove the tune, you may need another tune or put the car back to stock parts as mentioned. A tune may have changed the cat settings also. I would not drive it to much until you sort out the issues.....or return to the dealer and have them sort it out. They should fix it for...
