    Stock 92GT with performance chip experiencing a random fast idle, which just emerged over the over the past month. Here's the deal, the car will idle around 900rpm at start and throughout most driving conditions, but at some stops the idle will rise to 1200rpm and just stay there. When this...

    Age of New Heads - Does it Matter?

    I have a chance to put on brand new heads with valve kit on my 92GT, but the only reservation I have in doing so is in regards to the age of the heads. The are brand new in the box, but have been sitting on a shelf for over 5 years. Would this be a concernt to anyone, and if so, what is the...

    Noisy Gear Box - Why?

    Based on the previous owners's record keeping, this tranny is stock. However, there was no gasket on the shifter. Thanks for the response!

    Noisy Gear Box - Why?

    I have had my 92 GT for about a year, and since day one the gear box has been a bit noisy for my taste. The car has 165k miles on it. At low RPM, the gear box sounds like a electric motor or a wind-up toy. There are vibrations that center in the box, and I don't know why. I recently...

    The dreaded "check engine" strobe light is on in my 1992 GT, and I have pulled only one single code 31. To those experienced with code 31, what is your suggested sequence of steps to resolve it? Thanks in advance!

    Air Bag Code 34 - What is the Fix?

    Where did you guys see a specific fix for code 34 (low resistance). I may have missed it, because I don't see any verbiage on that specific code. I see several for the high resistance codes, but not for low resistance. I am just concerned about getting a clockspring and it having nothing...

    Air Bag Code 34 - What is the Fix?

    I have a 92 GT with a blinking AirBag light - flashing a code 34. For the 92 model year, it is my understanding that code 34 represents "Low Resistance" for the air bag circuitry. What is the recommended fix for this problem? Thanks in advance for any help or guidance. Bret

    Broke ashtray problem???

    My ashtray lid broke to where I have to replace the center console to get it back to stock. Therefore, I bought the plug-n-chug cup holder, which can hold two drinks. I have the 1992 GT 5 speed and needed a cup holder anyway, so I love it. There is an issue with the stock shifter hitting...

    Cobra or GT40 intake?

    If you are planning to do things in pieces/stages, then perhaps gears and Cobra are the best thing for you. A plan is the key here, don't make it up as you go along or you may feel you lost opportunity and money in the end. As a 92 GT owner of a daily driver with the same mileage as yours...

    I hate, hate, hate power windows!

    I bought a master switch harness off ebay, with the nice connector plugs and all. When I went to install, I found the wires went straight from the master switch through the door jam and behind the dash. Plug-n-play is what I thought, and I find that there is no way to remove the master switch...

    Rate my planned combination...

    I'm guessing that every combination of parts may have some pro's and cons; and the con to a 70mm throttle body may be a loss of low rpm torque for high rpm HP. Some more experienced folk may need to jump in and correct me on that; but that is the reason I'm going with a 65mm.

    I hate, hate, hate power windows!

    I hear ya! I have mine at the dealer at this very moment. The passenger side window will go down, but not return to the upright position. The motor works when you inverse the polarity, so something is up with the electronics. Please post your fix if/when you have one.

    Rate my planned combination...

    Besides the gearing listed above, I offer the following suggestions: Underdrive Pulleys Shorty Headers H Pipe exhaust GT-40 heads GT-40 Intake 65mm Throttle Body .6 rocker arms The above should get you to 305+ HP without stressing that 150k motor. Good luck!

    When To Detail Engine and compartment?

    I am writing for some feedback on when and how to best detail the engine compartment of my 92 GT. Within the next month I plan to replace the stock heads and intake with GT-40 parts and install underdrive pulleys. In doing this, I see an opportunity to at least clean and/or paint component...

    Can The 92 GT Cheesegrate Taillights be Replaced?

    Like many Fox Body GT owners, I do not like the cheese-grate tail lights on my 92 GT. Of the many online merchants, I have never really come across a taillight specific for the GT. I tend to find lenses and lamps advertised for the LX model, but not the GT. I am interested in placing a LX...
