    Check Engine Light

    Right, info is right that's posted, but here is a summary. '87 & '88 SD car didn't have a bulb in the instrument panel for the CEL, even though you can find it on the tach. '89 and up do and it is wired into the EEC. Putting a bulb in the SD cars will only get the bulb to light when you...

    Thermostat upgrade, 180* to 160*

    No, not a good idea from what I read. Normal operating temperature of the 302 is in the 210 degree range. Any cooler, like the 190 degrees that you were experiencing, the car will continue, in some cases, to run closed loop, or cold mode. Which ends up dumping more gas in the motor and you...

    breaking cats in

    Never hear of cats "break in". If it's not loud enough for you, you might have to go with an off-road pipe.

    AOD TV cable issues

    Somethings not right. AOD's are not to be messed with if you don't know what's going on. You can/could burn something up in the trans. if this cable isn't adjusted properly. Only a couple of miles can do it. I suggest taking the car to a mechanic and having them look at it. Better at...

    Applying Weatherstrip......

    Remove or loosen the trim to remove. Then just push the new stuff in to place, making sure not to stretch too much and or leave to much around the bends, to make a good seal. No silicon required.

    AOD : OD is not working... tranny done?

    Common problem with the AOD w/120,000 miles. You burned out the overdrive band within the tranny. This can be replaced, but you have to drop the trans to do it and if that band is toast, the others will be mostly effected. So the bad news is, time for a rebuild or a replacement. Start saving...

    M.M. or Global West Subframe connectors?

    I didn't have both, but have the Global West one's. They weld into the front and back like you said, but they also include a plate to weld to the subframe tube to the floor for extra suport. Had them on for the last 6 years and it was one of the best mods I did. But if you wanted to go with...

    Crappy gas mileage but no check engine light.

    Are you sure she's calculating it correctly? Exactly how much gas goes in check the odometer, and the miles driven, then calculate, or is she calculating just by the tank full? Not saying your not doing it correctly, just asking the question to eliminate the possibility everything is fine...

    i HATE my resonating exhaust! PLEASE HELP!!!

    Yup, Super turbo's are the quitest mufflers outside the car, but drone like hell, depending on your application at 1800-2000 rpm. With the stock gears and speed your turning around 1800rpm, right in the "drone zone". I had the same problem. So I added a higher gear ratio, 3:55's and it quited...

    Windshield Wipers will not turn off....

    My Taurus's wipers would stay on for a couple of swipes after you turned them off. I relaced the switch/stalk and no help. Replaced the motor and it was good as new. So, maybe you just have a bad replacement wiper motor, (can happen) or like mentioned above, a wiring short. Good Luck.

    Just got a 91 GT!! Hatch Question?

    If your seeing daylight throught the hatch and the weatherstripping is in good shape, all you need to do is lower the striker on the body of the car with a torq bit, just enough that the hatch will still close. A little trial and error in adjusting it. Adjust the rubber stops on the side ends...

    Check your distributor cap for wear and cracks. Also check your ignition wires and battery /starter cables.
