    Fuel pressure

    I recently replaced a known bad fuel pump that was causing a miss on my '96 GT. It put out 30lbs of pressure prior to replacement and with the vacuum hose disconnected at the pressure regulator, it flucuated between 36 and 38lbs with a very unsteady needle. I now have steady pressure with...

    Bad Sensor?

    The harness is based on the passenger side of the trans and has six wires going from the harness that plug into a socket type connector. On his old trans, he used a q-tip and dipped it inside the socket connector to show me what he was talking about (still attached to the old trans) and at the...

    Bad Sensor?

    So the sensor would be bad then. When you say wicking, does or can the fluid actually travel up into the wire beyond the connector? What would be the best way to clean this? Advance Auto told him he could spray this can of electrical component cleaner on it. I was skeptical of this though...

    Bad Sensor?

    A friend of mine replaced his aode trans that was bad on a '94 Stang this weekend and the tcc sensor harness had trans fluid in it, like the sensor leaked through. He also put a newer trans in his car, one that uses mercon V fluid, year unknown. I don't know but does he need to have the trans...

    Remove the panels in the trunk and see if there is water and grit built up in the rear quarter areas.

    Pulled head...Combustion Issue?

    This sounds alot like a tuning issue with only 10k on the clock. With the mods you have, who did the tuning? Did the mil light come on and if so what were the codes? Once you put the car back together, try to find a speed shop in your area that specializes in 'Stangs. I've seen quite a few...

    bad brake caliper

    Sounds like it, especially if it won't compress with a c-clamp after being removed. Their not expensive to replace so try that route. Let us know.

    'vert rear seat removal

    Almost center mass under each seat cushion is a tab. Use a small flat head screwdriver and push in on the tab, while holding the tab in, use your other hand to grab the front of the seat right where the tab is, and pull up. Do this on both sides. If you lightly pry up on the seat cushion, you...

    AOD problems!!

    You caught a break changing the fluid and filter with high mileage for the first time and having it run at all. I picked up a '95 not too long ago with a bad trans that had also never had the change done with only 99k on the odom. I changed the fluid and filter and got the car to run but with...

    What to modify?!

    I would go 4.10s or at least some 3.73s. They typically cost anywhere from $150. to a little over $200. You can add a positrac unit to make both tires spin. You can go with Eaton, FRPP, Strange, all of those make good gears. Some auto parts stores even can order you these parts, like...

    RPM Gauge sticks and jumps

    You said it didn't really miss...does that mean that there is a miss or hesitation somewhere causing it to run poor? Either it misses or it doesn't, no in between. Does the car run fine, just a sticking tach? If it runs fine then it sounds like sgarlic is pointing you in the right direction...

    help with rear axle....

    Sounds like it probably was and body shops only fix the obvious...the bent and broken. If you have any questions then don't hesitate to ask.

    Broken Intake Bolt

    Can you remove the intake and use heat and some vise grips to remove it? You should still have somewhat of a stud left after taking the manifold off. This maybe the only thing left to try. I'm not too sure about the JB weld idea but hey, if it works let us know. How did you shear the bolt...

    Rebuilt engine question.

    If you have a compression gauge test the compression and see how healthy the motor is. As someone earlier said, it depends on who did the rebuild, but they are usually reliable. Also ask for any documentation on the rebuild as it too easy to say 'it's a rebuilt motor' when actually they just...
