    96 gt swap help

    Believe the windsors were only 99 through some 01's, and if he's doing a full engine swap it shouldnt matter anyway. I swapped a 02 into my 98 and all I had to change was the fuel rails and tapping the intake crossover. I had to modify the coil pack mounting brackets also.

    Check Engine Light

    Just sitting there idleing can you tell it's missfiring? Vibrations and rough sounding exhaust? A lot of time you can pull injector harnesses one at a time, if it gets worse that cyliner is good, if it styas the same thats the cylinder that missfiring.

    Pilot Bearing Ruined! Need help!!

    What worked for me, and i can't take credit for it, was pack it full of play-doh, read about using grease but it was too thin. But packed with play-doh then used a bolt that just fit and hammered it in and the pressure forced it out.
