    How to Put New Hatch Window Trim On?

    OK, I clicked on your link. Those are the covers the other posts were talking about. Sorry if you thought it was the actual trim. The outside trim that gets pitted and discolored is actually part of the hatch window assembly or glass itself. Those go for big money and can only be removed...

    Very slight hesitation

    Did you clean the throttle body lately and or adjust your TPS? Have the air and fuel filter changed last?

    water sitting inside fuel door.

    Good on the gas mileage. Yes there is a drain on the lower side, underneath the gas cap. Poke around with a wire hanger or other small thin tool. Dirt probably filled in the hole, so you can't see it.

    tips for driving for better milaege?

    HIssin is right. You have to run a full tank of gas to actually measure your MPG's. But with your guage not working, then it's hard to do. It's hard to diagnose your gas guage problem, but you might wanna start with the fuel sending unit in the gas tank. These tend to wear...

    small hesitation after plug change???

    Check your wires. One might be loose, or arcing. Also recheck your firing order. You might have swapped wires in one instance.

    Uh, what fluid is this?

    I would think that's what it is. Oil. Take a pic and post it, or like you said, get under the car to investigate.

    Weatherstripping

    No glue, just pry off. The cheaper stuff works fine. I did both doors and the hatch with good results.

    87-93 Replacing Front Ford Emblem

    There are a couple of vendors that make shiny mylar decals that go over your old emblem. Much easier to get that new look, but maybe not what your looking for. Check ebay or here's one site to check. http://www.webxtremes.com/

    Hmmm...Help Needed

    Yes, you have a leak. It's just with the car warming up the coolant is being evaporated, so you don't see it, but smell it. If it's on the balancer area, I would say it's your waterpump. Start the car, and run it till you get it up to operating temperature and look at the waterpump. There...

    Charging problem

    12.3 is way to low. You said it helped with belt dressing and asked if it was OK without the belt tensioner? Possible not. You might want to try a smaller/tighter belt to eliminate slippage, or add a belt tensioner and a new/larger belt.

    Stock Speaker replacement

    For the rear speakers, both the 6x8 or 5x7 will fit. The mounting holes are at the same dia. Just make sure of the depth of the speaker. You don't want the magnet too big, and the speaker sticking out. Using the right size you can use the factory covers. I ran new wires under the door jam to...

    aod no shift

    When you put the filter on , did you make sure you included the little square cork gasket on the end of the tube that attaches to the valve body? Sometimes the fliter kits don't come with a new one, you have to reuse the old one or find a new one. If you didn't, it will cause the problem you...

    Whisteling noise at idle

    Your mechanic sounds right. My friends 5.0 had a whistling sound at idle and we found out his block wasn't vented enough. Too much vacuum. Put a new hose on, it's cheap enough.

    Coolant leak. Help me find it

    After the car is up to operating temp and the thermo opens up, turn the car off and get under the hood. Look at the radiator, as a small leak can be along the sidewalls. Check all your hoses and clamps to and from the radiator to the water pump and the coolant lines along the block to the...

    Rear axle q's - yes I've searched...

    Ok, I have some answers but not all. If the claim is right about the 90-91 GT Mustang, and not out of any other Ford vehicle, it could be one of 2 things. All stock cars in 90-91 came with either a 2.73. 3.08 3.27 or 3.55. But it could be also be 3.73 if it was dealer installed or done at a...

    Yet another exhaust opinion needed....

    A cut-out? Ahh, no. Stick with the performance cats and a good 2 chamber catback.

    is my TPS sensor bad or going bad ?

    Did you clean the throttle body? That might be giving you the rpm hangup. .89v is fine unless you want to elongate the slots on the sensor. But did you do a sweep test when you were checking the TPS? You want to open the throttle when you have the voltmeter hooked up, and see if it...

    a light smoking coming form my engine

    Yup, the valve covers or back of the lower intake are the usually areas of oil leakage. This oil is hitting the hot exhaust pipes.

    5.0 leaking antifreeze

    All suggestions were good ones. It can be leaking from a number of places. If you don't want to pressure test it like jrichker suggested, then just bring the car up to operating temperature and get under the hood and engine to look for the leak. My bet is either the timing cover or the weep...

    car died today in traffic.. wtf??

    Since the problem you stated is from wiggling the wires, you have a bad wire or connection. Keep tracking it down and you will find it. The battery cables are also culprits you want to look at. Pinpoint the wire, and replace it. If the wire is bad, dielectric grease won't help, only if it's...
