    Transmission and driveshaft clearance problem

    very possible that the engine mounts might be wrong. I looked at my 93 (manual trans - but engine height should be same) and eyeballing it - it looks like the top edge of the center of the throttle body where the intake hose bolts to is approximately 1/2" inch to an inch from the top of...

    German 4 speed?

    they work fine - but you dont have the overdrive with it as 4th is 1:1. If you can find a later fox body 2.3 with a 5 speed for a decent price upgrading to get the overdrive might be nice if you do any highway driving. not sure if the slip yoke is the same for the 4 speed vs the T-5 (5...

    need help with 93 4 banger please

    i agree completely. most likely a bad coil or coils or a bad coil pack. i've had a bad coil pack that wasnt firing and the other fired on 3 until i got it heated up on the highway and then it hit on all 4. replaced both coil packs and the problem went away

    Part ID

    It is a circuit breaker. Not sure what it goes to. Mine is currently hooked up to the positive battery terminal.

    Project SVOhwell close enough is underway

    I would agree - modify the N/A harness. Swapping in the TC one would eventually have something not connected and throw some loops into the system.

    A4LD vacuum modulator ok with Boost?

    dont know - don't have a turbo or auto but you might be able to pull the vacuum just upstream of the turbo intake - it'll have vacum - just not sure how little under none boost times.... or you could tee a "Y" in the line and have a one way check valves and have one lead to normal vacuum and...

    Are you 2.3 owners still here?

    I know how you feel. I replaced my rack & pinion with a "new" one and the turning radius is way bad compared to how it was and the one on the '88. Guess the aftermarket left a few teeth out on the rack.

    AC Compressor

    i do know that the compressors clutch and pulley assembley for the fox body 5.0 is the same - as i robbed that from my friends compressor he pulled off his 5.0 when he made it strictly race - and I'm fairly certain the compressors looked the same. as for the ranger compressor - can't say for...

    Tach problem

    mostly so - IIRC they fire one pack just before the 2nd one (like .25 seconds) and was designed to help on emissions and help some (very little) in the horsepower department. But if you have one pack that is dead - and the other is fine - it'll run fine and you won't know the difference....well...

    turn signal help please

    could be the flasher module itself. they do tend to go out from timeto time - very cheap deal to replace.

    Radiator fan not coming on

    a few ways to solve the problem. 1st. the problem lies in your fan control module. 87-89 modules are an 8 wire module deal under the dash above where the brake / clutch pedal is. Most of the time the wires are fried going to the module. if it is a 91 to 93 the module is located in the...

    This forums a joke

    also, alot of times people look at posts and don't have an answer. I'll look at turbo related things - but since i don't have a turbo car or any experience - i wouldn't have a good answer for something like that..

    Help with some random fixes

    P.B. Blaster works much better than WD-40 My 93 does not have a sending unit in the heater core lines. It is located on the drivers side of engine block - near the back. But try P.B. Blaster on the sending unit - it helps on lots of stuff Both horn buttons run the same horn - probably...

    1992 LX Build thread!

    Taurus fan should work good. it's close in flow to the Mark VIII fan - probably will be fine...but you know me...i like overkill for me .... lol. I'll find out how much a 3G weight is - i know that shipping USPS on a ranger header thats around 15 lbs is 15 to 20 bucks. Can't be much more...

    1992 LX Build thread!

    Yep - you would be suprised how much pressure will build up on the high side without the fan - i watched my high side gauge hit almost 600 once with the air fan not going. Once it gets near that pressure the compressor just cant force it anymore and that causes the lock up and eventual belt...

    1992 LX Build thread!

    Question: I assume with a/c not engaged the belt is fine and makes no noise. I assume the squeak shows up after the a/c is engaged? If so, is it immediately or does it take a few minutes and the compressor locks up? If that is the case - then the problem lies in the lack of air flow...

    1992 LX Build thread!

    Looks like you are getting there.... Damn starter......always something. I may make a suggestion on the starter that you might like. They will rape you for the new starter for the 91-93 starter because it has the solenoid on the starter like old school Dodge and Chevy's. They work...

    some advice please?

    Short answer is yes / no / maybe. You can drop in a 5.0 as is and things should be ok. it may sit a little lower in the front but not too much - and most people like the look of a dropped spring - it'll probably sit about 1/2 to 1 inch lower in the front. the rear lower control arms...
