    02 exhaust help please :(

    No .. neither of those codes have anything to do with exhaust leaks. The 0455 code is related to a large leak in the evaporative emissions system ( fuel vapor system etc) . And the P0457 is about the gas cap being loose or off. the exhaust wouldn't trigger any of this. Once you fix the gas cap...

    1992 LX Build thread!

    Never mind. It was hard to picture correctly. It does look good. I just needed to see it in plain sight. Damn.. what the heck. My minds not working correctly right now.. lol. How could I even forget that. How lame I am. My '88 2.3 I had in '95 was the same exact color of blue yours is. And I had...

    Fiancé looking at buying a 94 v6…

    Sluggish steering? Is there play in it? Steering wanders and doesn't return to center. Was there enough fluid in the pump ? Did it have hard spots? like maybe air was in the lines. SN95's do have a tighter steering versus the Fox Stangs. If there's a lot of slop in it, could be bad inner/outer...

    1992 LX Build thread!

    The whole trim, or just the small groove in the middle of it that used to have orange painted stripe in it on earlier years? Hmm, can you take a little constructive criticism? Just a thought but I don't think having the entire trim black on a blue painted body would stand out right. It does seem...

    1992 LX Build thread!

    Nice work. I'm going to keep an eye on this one.... just because. Sounds interesting. I do remember one guy on this board had spent a lot of time working on his 2.3 and he even had a progress thread. I can't remember the mans name. It's been a few years. Anyway, he was running N/A .. with Ranger...

    Oil pressure up and down on 93 2.3L

    I remember my '88 2.3 had that problem. Had solid pressure when it was cold, but the engine was hell noisy. Made a lot of clak/clik knocking noises. Was worse when it was colder and quieted down when it warmed up. After it warmed up, pressure would eventually drop below the bold white line just...

    The tranny is finally getting tossed.. not before the damn thing blew up.

    Second gear finally ate it up and is no more, 1st gear is about to and it spills fluid trying to prevent it from popping out of first upon take off. I can smell it burning something and it's not the clutch. The shifter KILLS my hand . That **** sometimes hurts when it tries to pop out of gear...

    95 v6 starter problem

    Sorry to get to this so late... I will answer in case you still need the help. Ticks really fast? Do you mean it makes a rapid clicking sound? It sounds like either your battery is very low and not getting charged, or you have a very poor connection to your starter. It does not sound like you...

    94 mustang v6 automatic tranny

    I'm not crazy about many shops, tis why I do 99.9% of the work myself. Now, I wouldn't immediately call your engine junk. First off, how many miles does it have on it? And when you said engine started real sluggish.. do you mean slowly? like perhaps a low battery and the starter cranked slow? Or...

    So who killed the forum?

    hey Knuckies ...hehehe.. Come on, I know it's cold up there but damn, It's not Russia... lol. Lets see some action in here. Or did you all run off to invade some other website?

    Throttle sticking problem...

    Its normal for the engine to hang the idle just before coming to a complete stop. I am guessing it may have something to do with keeping the engine at an acceptable speed for clutch engagement. It picks up info from the trans speed sensor and MAF and adjusts engine speed accordingly. I wouldn't...

    2001 Mustang Conv. 3.8L sputtering sound????

    The lean code may be related to the cat converter , but atm, not sure. This sputtering sound, it would be helpful, can you describe this sound any better? Can you tell where the sound is coming from? Is it an exhaust noise? Can you smell anything? Perhaps I was thinking it MAY be an exhaust...

    Brake Light Problems

    Are you sure you have ABS? I don't recall 96 3.8's coming with ABS. not except for GT's. Maybe it was an option on a later year IDK. Your problem sounds like you have an instant short along the line somewhere. Check for melted wires behind your tail lights, and also underneath your dash. You...

    2000 v6 TOB question

    Hmm.. I'm also looking for a new clutch kit. I just bought a used T5 trans for my 96 since mine is almost toasted. I've been needing a new TOB over the years because of the noise, and the pedal has consistently become stiff and I had to lube up the TOB by spraying grease in there. It's not...

    gt cluster in 95 v6 car

    The answer is.. yes and no. Yes, it will work, but only partially. You can only use the actual gauges etc from the GT cluster, but NOT the entire unit. The back circuit board from the GT can NOT be used with the V6. The problem with this is that the GT's back circuit board has different...

    hesitating going into reverse

    Hmm, I must have missed this thread from last year. Since it's obviously not a low fluid problem, it's possible it could be the reverse shift solenoid taking too long to engage. It's an AODE, so it has solenoids that electronically control the shift points. Other cause could be, valve body...

    Hail Damage

    It's called a cowl vent cover.. and it's an expensive piece. I don't think repros are made of this one, only OE Ford. I think reros are only made of the 87-93 cowl. I think your best bet would be to head to a salvage or junk yard and find one in decent condition thats not all dry-rotted...

    Heater intermittently cold?

    Yeah the procedures sound confusing slightly. Even I cannot leave the radiator cap off while the engine warms up. It just goes to show, as the coolant in the engine warms up , it expands,, thereby creating pressure down the lower water pump hose to radiator and thus eventually making the coolant...

    Convertible back glass?

    Same here, stay away from the plastic windows. The plastic on those things are even way cheaper than whats on the headlamp lenses. That plastic window will be eaten alive by the southern sun if it's not garaged.

    What kind of music do you listen to while driving the stang?
