    Need help with a couple of problems

    I have no clue about your A/C. About the oil leak - Replace the hose. Mine just has a moulded rubber hose, there isn't the plastic elbow. Should be simple. (I'm not an expert by any means so there could be more to it)

    just bought my 2.3 have some problems

    Don't worry too much about breaking it. If push it close to the lock it shouldn't bend under pressure. I really can't remember everything about when I did it. I didn't use a screwdriver though. Just keep going harder until it un-sticks. Good Luck

    I might get my stang back

    I would too :D You could get a great fox body mustang for that much. (and still have money left over to play with) That takes the whole fun of fixing it up yourself though. Really with that kind of money you could save some time/work and just buy an already rebuilt engine and turbo...

    just bought my 2.3 have some problems

    Had the same problem with my drivers side door. I removed the door panel, used lots of WD-40, and manually locked/unlocked it a few times to get it going smooth. It was hard to get it un-stuck. I think I pulled on the rod that goes to the manual lock. Or maybe closer to the lock mechanism -...

    Is this a good deal? Engine/Tranny/Turbo

    I guess when I get the engine I'll decide to mess with it or just drop it in. Any help on the transmission though? Someone fairly local offered me a rebuilt T-5 for $400. It hasn't been used since the rebuild. I can't imagine that finding a JY tranny and rebuilding it myself would be too much...

    Is this a good deal? Engine/Tranny/Turbo

    One more question. I've noticed a couple junk yards don't allow people under 18 to enter. Is that a common rule?

    Is this a good deal? Engine/Tranny/Turbo

    Thanks, I think I'll just start hitting the Junkyards. Have any recommendations about the tranny? Is there any way to know if its in good shape without taking it home and installing it? Red LX, I bought the book you recommended. (Tom Monroe - Engine Builders Handbook) I looked through it and...

    Is this a good deal? Engine/Tranny/Turbo

    Is this a good deal? Its on the expensive side but it sounds a whole lot more durable than something I'm going to find in a JY. Thanks

    Air freshener oil ate my dash paint

    Update: I sent a comment from the manufacturer's website. I wasn't expecting anything, I just told them it fell over and the oil damaged the painted surface. I mentioned there was no warning of it. I never got a response and forgot about it then today I got a letter in the mail saying they...

    Help with nasty engine problem!

    Pull of the rubber hose off of the FPR and see if it runs then or if there is gas in the hose. Does the engine fire at all?

    Looking for advice - and lots of it

    Thanks again NakedRaygun. I wish I had those kind of resources for painting. My mom has a friend whos husband paints cars. That will probably be my best bet. I'll just explain that I'm a 16 year old student and I can't afford too much but I'll help prep it in any way I can. With some luck...

    Engine running like hella crap

    I don't know what the hell I'm talking about really... But could it be the belt? Perhaps the tension isn't right? (since the alternator was replaced) **Edit** Nevermind...we posted at the same time. Congrats :)

    How much is lost through the back seat?

    I'm on a budget and furthering my stereo isn't a priority yet but I have some questions. I wanted more bass and I had time so I hooked up a spare computer sub in my backseat. Running it off an inverter and off the sub preamp. Its probably 6 inches or less but my stereo sounds much better with...

    Looking for advice - and lots of it

    I don't know - I've always heard the stock radiators are on the skimpy side. Are all LA3s the same?
