    HELP! Power seat, can't drive car

    Well, I am certainly no expert. But my car does this from time to time and it is caused by a fuse I think. Normally I just shake the fuse box and its fine. Check to see if the Cigarette lighter works or not, in my car (94), the cigarrette lighter and the power seat are on the same fuse. Good...

    The lowdown on vert top motors

    I too doubt this is the result of a bad motor. This happened to me as well. Apparantly the top switch in the center console is two pieces, on my car those two pieces simply seperated...I am not electronically inclined so I opted to simply buy a replacement, but I would definitely say check the...

    My (Crash) Story...long and lots of pics (DUW!!!)

    Thanks for the replies, most definitely learned my lesson, nobody will be driving my car for quite some time besides myself, and especially not in less than perfect conditions. Also thanks for the advice on the brakes! Does anybody have any ideas on the redyeing of the airbag covers? They also...

    My (Crash) Story...long and lots of pics (DUW!!!)

    Hello to All! Its been awhile since I last posted and here's why...My mustang was wrecked not once but twice, quite a story. So if you haven't anything better to do sit back and listen to this one. My biggest mistake with my car was letting inexpereinced drivers, drive it. Such was the case...

    Scariest automotive mishap you've had?

    Guess i'll post mine, not as exciting about some, but still the scarriest that happened to me while working on the car. I was under the hood chaning plugs with my dad and my girlfriend. After removing the last plug on the drivers side I went to set the ratchet down and accidently set it...

    Wrecked

    Yeah, I think its the brake rotor maybe...I know that the part where the wheel bolts on was ripped off and whatever is directly behind that is what got split in two. Most likely the last time I let someone else drive it at least for a while. Think its actualy starting to set in now what...

    Wrecked

    Hey All, Don't know many of you but lots of you have helped me with my car so I figured I could post this here, just to get it out if nothing else. Anywho, I let my roommate drive the stang tonight just from the grocery down the street (<2 miles) it had been raining so the roads were just...

    Drove an 06

    Yeah it was most definitely an automatic...same as my 94... BUT OH MAN...I went back tonight and tested an 03 Cobra Convertible with the supercharged 4.6L and oh my gawd....what a car. And they wanted the same price for it as for the new 06 GT coupe I was looking at. Unfortunately the 06 GT...

    Drove an 06

    Hey Guys, I typically post in the 94-95 5.0 section but today I test drove an 06 convertible and was too excited not to at least post something on here. It was an 06 with the blue metallic speck paint and a black top. I come from a 94 GT Convertible so I was very skeptical of how the v6...

    Another One....Thinking O2's (sorry kinda long)

    Howdy again fellow stangers! Car is back at it again! The idle is crappy loping erratically especially right after start up, gets better as the car runs out, however there is a good bit of vibration up to about 2500 rpm. Exhaust smells super rich, almost like if it were the pump gas...

    Car sounds like its dragging something...

    Thank you very very much we found that and fixed it, car is running much better now it looks like we broke it during the swap, any idea why ford used such brittle materials here, or is it just because its old?

    Car sounds like its dragging something...

    Okay after about 10 seconds I found this: As you can see there is a small pink plastic hose wrapped in black insulator that goes absolutely nowhere...is this where its supposed to go or if not where does it go? I can't find another end to it so what is my engine missing? Here's...

    Car sounds like its dragging something...

    Didn't try the balance test, how do you do it? I know it was in the manual for the tester but its packed away as i am getting ready to get back to school. I didn't remove any sensors on the passenger side to change the plugs, however, there was some hose, perhaps fuel line, there that I may...

    Car sounds like its dragging something...

    Coolant sensor? Don't think i've replace that and no the car isn't lowered. The dragging sound is actualy coming from the EXHAUST I think, the strange clicking sound after the engine is off is coming from the back passenger side of the engine compartment, I am certainly not dragging anything.

    Car sounds like its dragging something...

    Hello again to all, I swear they should make my problem threads a sticky just because I have to post a new one everyday and it would save a lot of time! Here we go again, today I changed the plugs and wires in my car...the plugs went to some accel plugs from brothers and the wires are FRPP...

    Rough Idle...Can't reset base....help

    Well I was doing it when it had been running for at least ~30 minutes prior to that. Guess it could have been still a little cool, though somehow I doubt it. I will try again in the morning, run it around and then let it idle for awhile to get the temp up a bit, thanks for the advice. BTW, is...

    Rough Idle...Can't reset base....help

    Howdy....again, Well, it seems that I am on here over and over again for one problem after another. This time its a rough idle. As I stated before the idle on my car is rough, shaking and lurching at a stop and making pulsing noises, at about 600 rpm. I was running through the four steps...

    Diagnosis help...one last time (kinda long)

    Whew...I was going crazy. I found a pic on EBAY of the bottom of my lower and I see that the PCV baffle on the TF intake is MUCH smaller than the stocker and that it comes factory riveted to the intake, so I went out to my car, pulled out the pcv valve, grommet, and screen and stuck my finger...

    Diagnosis help...one last time (kinda long)

    Yeah all the seals are new...I didn't reuse any of the stock pieces at all. I think I will probably go ahead and tear out the intake, I mean it can't be near as hard the second time around, my only questions are: a.) Will the stock baffle fit my TFS Intake? b.) How do I get the stock baffle...
