    WHY does every starter solenoid KEEP STICKING?!?!?

    There's two possible solutions: 1) you are just getting bad solenoids... hard to believe three in a row, but hey, parts stores ain't what they used to be. 2) A solenoid is a very large relay. This means when the two "smaller" wires are ground and 12V each, it connects the two "big"...

    Hell, does anybody have the factory service manual wiring online? That would save me from buying one!

    trying to get power windwos to work

    I'm certainly no expert on power windows, but power locks on the other hand, I do claim to know a thing or two... Just to throw out my advice, on a lot of cars (not sure on these or not) there is a "5-wire" setup to control the locks. Which means...if the main component of the lock system...

    GT40 Intake Adaptability

    Either I've got off the wall questions or I really suck at the search function... I'm considering getting some GT40 heads, or perhaps even GT40P's. I know that the GT40P's take a slightly different header, but was wondering if there is any difference on the intake side of things between E7's...

    AIR BAG LIGHT

    I recently had the same problem with my '90 LX, I'm not a fan of airbags, so I removed the light from the dash when cleaning the cluster. As a result of this, a buzzer started from behind the dash as a replacement for the light. As I dont' care if airbags work or not, I found out the airbag...

    2.3 to 5.0 conversion - fuel lines help

    I'm just rolling around ideas for a future similiar swap, and was wondering... I'm going to be putting a carb. 5.0 in place of the 2.3 when I do mine, I haven't inspected where the lines are, but would they be allright when utilizing a carb setup? Assuming I can just run a line from the...

    Question about body panels

    So correct me if I'm wrong, all panels on the front end are GT or LX specific, having different front bumper covers/fenders/mouldings/etc... So my next question is, are the bumper covers interchangeable without changing the bumper behind it? What I would like to do is to replace my...

    Question about body panels

    Hello, I just bought a '90 LX Convertible 2.3, and I've been searching for a while to answer a question with no luck. Are all body panels (mainly concerned with the front bumper cover) interchangeable between LX and GT models? What about front fenders and such? Thanks!

    Can't a guy find a car?

    Hey guys, long time no see. I'm thinking about getting back into the scene, my old car is rusting away up in Illinois, and I'd like to find one in a little better shape, anybody know (or have) one in the Southern Missouri area? I've been looking around a couple days now, and there doesn't seem...

    Custom Sub Box

    Any reputable shop with any box building skills will tell you to do a ported box with only two of the 12's. This will gain you more output, even though you would think that using 3 would be better. The mustang, as great as it is, just doesn't have the required airspace to utilize many woofers.

    New to car audio... Do i have this straight?

    Actually, you should never pay attention to the rating on a head unit. Those numbers are only *if lightning strikes* as we say in the industry. Turning it up to distortion is not how they get those numbers, they are usually determined at about 16-18 volts, which your car will NEVER acheive...

    Best ground for amp in trunk?

    Actually, running the ground wire to the battery is about the WORST idea you can have. It may seem like a good concept, but in actuality, it's the 2nd noisiest place to put a ground, only better than grounding to the alternator. While you may not think of a ground as a noise issue, that is the...
