    1989 n/a 2.3 auto - stalling issue

    If you have some mechanical ability you can rebuilt it yourself. They aren't rocket surgery or anything. If you wanted to beef up the A4LD, I'm told that you can use some of the clutch packs, etc from a 4.0L v6 Ranger application (same trans but built heavier duty for the heavier vehicle with...

    K member question

    1993 LX, 2.3 car. Same K member as the 79-86 V8. Narrower pick up points than 87-93 V8 Anyone ever put SN95 lower control arms on these K members? Looking at doing a SN95 brake swap, just don't really feel like swapping the K-member. I have some SN95 control arms out back, though. I have a...

    Put a 2.3 into a 5.0 chassis?

    Yeah 1: no the fork is different, as is the cable. 2.3 cars had two cables. A short one, and a long one-the long one from the quadrant, has the same end on the quadrant end, but the bellcrank end is different (once you get the 2.3 bellhousing you'll see what I mean). 2: The V8 T5 has a .668...

    1989 n/a 2.3 auto - stalling issue

    possible trans or converter issue, as said. Or an IAC issue, seen that before too. "could" be lots of things. Vacuum leaks can also cause this type issue. So can wiring issues and/or computer issue. As far as the A4LD, they really aren't "junk" but they are peculiar. Rebuilding one isn't...

    Engine Help! 1980 Ford Mustang won't start, has spark

    or the timing belt slipped. The belt runs the cam and the aux shaft, and the aux shaft runs the distributor/oil pump.

    1988 4cyl 5 speed (Compression issues) [Help!]

    A stock rebuild turbo 2.3 will do what you want it to. With a stock intake, stock exhaust manifold, 3" exhaust from the turbo back to the bumper, and an open element air filter, at 20psi and slightly elevated fuel pressure you should be able to very easily meet your goal--with the stock 35lb...

    WTB/Trade Wheels

    Looking to buy 4 wheels and/or tires. Can be 4 lug or 5 lug. Going on 93 Mustang LX coupe. I have all the stuff to swap to 5 lug, but it is currently 4 lug. Located in the middle of Arkansas, would rather stay in the state or very near. I have a great set of stock wheels/tires that came off...

    What's it Worth? 93 coupe turbo

    Decided to keep the fox body and sell the 2019 ecoboost. I like both cars. The 93 is paid for 100% debt free and the ecoboost is not. Well it is now, and I made some money on it. Drove it 18,000 miles and sold it for more than the total cost financed.

    What's it Worth? 93 coupe turbo

    93 LX coupe. I Daily drove it for a couple years before it went into paint. Nice car. 2.3L out of an SVO Mustang. Mild mods to a fully rebuilt stock engine (BNIB Ford replacement 020 pistons, etc). Has roughly 11,000 mi on the rebuild. Runs great. 5 speed manual. It is actually a V6...

    Paint and Body Closest Paint Match for 93 Opal?

    I bought the NPD stuff in opal. It matches mine spot-on. I mean even paint and body guy can't spot the original panels vs the painted ones. But my car sat in the garage it's entire life before I got it, so very little fade-except the top of the back seat and the package tray. Presidio is...

    Electrical Fox body under dash footwell courtesy lights years??

    I have seen SOME cars that had the wire connectors still in teh dash harness. If you have them, you can use some Ford turn signal sockets, and assemble them into the brackets. There is one bracket on the right side under the glove box, which I usually bend out of the way so I can get the...

    Gangster Lean

    yeah my 93 lx original seats had the lean. I pulled the upholstery and foam off, welded up the joints and put it all back together after a good warshing. The upholstery was pretty nasty, but cleaned up nice. Several years later it was time to do something as the foam was really wearing out...

    Interior and Upholstery seat foam

    Slowly working on putting my 93 coupe back together. It has a pair of base cloth seats from a 2006 Mustang V6 in it, which I really like. The foam in the driver's seat is falling apart and I can feel the frame when I sit down. I did a quick search online and couldn't find anything. These...

    Paint and Body hood decal

    That's kind of what I was after. Ideas. The cowl vent is black and it lines up perfectly with the raised section of the hood, that's why I thought black (or at least a dark charcoal) would probably be "best". But I can visualize a grayish color. Interior is Opal. Has 07 V6 seats which I...
