    Irritating idle surge

    I don't have a spare one to use. How much could I get a new one for? I'd imagine from ford it would cost quite a bit, which makes me hesitant to do it if it might not even fix my problem. What really confuses me is that when you unplug the idle motor, it idles fine. So that means the motor...

    Irritating idle surge

    I have an idle surge in my 93 mustang 5.0. It's very irritating and doesn't happen all the time, just randomly, regardless of if the engine is warm or not, it seems. I can find no cause for it to happen. As far as I understand, if you have idle surge, it should happen all the time or while...

    Need help with escort, no where else to turn to

    Yeah, I changed the cap and rotor. So I guess to do this screwdriver trick I would have to have someone cranking the engine, right? I really want to test the ignition module. Could I possibly put a spark plug wire on that (the prong is the same as a distributer prong) and do the same trick...

    Need help with escort, no where else to turn to

    Hi, I'm helping a friend fix her car. It's an 89 escort. I know of no escort forum where anyone can actually give helpful information. I can only imagine the things the escort performance clubs would suggest.:rolleyes: I have been around for a while, so it's not like I'm just using this...

    3g alternator questions???

    It's easy. The only thing I had trouble with was finding good instructions. Most instructions I have come across are vague. They look very descriptive until you actually start doing the swap and then you realize they are missing a lot of stuff.

    Updated Rear & speedo gears, now incorrect speedo

    I bought the white gear (forget if it's 21 spline or 23) for my car about 6 months ago. Recently, it started chirping at the dash really bad. I pulled it out and it had totally tore itself to shreds, but the speedometer was still showing correct speed (although the needle shook a little bit)...

    Someone suggest a spring/shock combo to drop my coupe...

    Tokico makes a spring/shock/strut package with progressive rate springs for $400. The springs are supposed to be a 1.25-1.50" drop. I was actually going to buy this, but with gas prices the way the are, I have to sell my car. I don't know if they're $400 from a vendor, but new on ebay they...

    Steering shaft U-joint?

    Thanks for the replies guys! Is that for the just the joint part? I assume I have to replace the lower part of the shaft too then, right? Anybody have any links to websites showing how to do this proceedure, or any tips on how to do this? I have almost no idea what to do, although I am...

    Steering shaft U-joint?

    I have about a half inch of play in my steering. (From the steering wheel) It makes the car feel like it's 30 years old. I have traced the play to what looks like a U-Joint (If that's what it is) about halfway down the steering shaft. I looked at someone's Ford Ranger and it had a piece of...

    For the Guys who have removed their Front Sway Bars!

    I don't know if this is an option for you, but I've heard removing the fog light bracket is another 25-30 pounds.

    turn signals not working???

    Thanks a bunch! I pulled out the one in the fusebox only to discover it controlled the hazard lights. I found the one under the glove box for turn signals. I pulled the hazard light relay (because they were identical) and put it in the turn signal relay temporarily. Thanks again!

    turn signals not working???

    Hmm... How does it connect? Are there two connectors on either side or what? I'm really not sure what I'm looking for. Any chance anybody has a picture of it? Thanks again for all the replies.

    turn signals not working???

    I see a couple boxes, and a few little gray things that look like relays in the fuse box. Nowhere in the manual or the repair manual does it show which relay is which. What exactly am I looking for? Thanks for the help.

    turn signals not working???

    My turn signals stopped working. Before they did, the flashing speed would fluctuate from very fast to slow. I can turn the hazard lights on, and all the bulbs work. I checked the fuse, also good. Any ideas?

    3 wire 02 sensors??????

    The computer is from a 93 GT. I'm at the point where I might just start a replacement frenzy. My biggest suspicion is the 02 sensor harness, but I keep seeing people getting ripped on ebay. They sell for about $40 there. I may have to go to a junkyard, but mustangs are rare in junkyards...

    3 wire 02 sensors??????

    Hmm... so did ford make both 3 wire and 2 wire 02 senors for fox bodies? Or did some aftermarket company design a 3 wire sensor that worked? I'm very curious about this...

    3 wire 02 sensors??????

    I got new oxygen sensors from Autozone (don't remember the brand, it wasn't the factory ford ones) about 3 months ago and they have 3 wires coming from them. Two white and one black. I just assumed they were the right ones, since the computer said so, and I didn't have any other sensors to...

    H pipe problems

    I recently purchased a Mac off-road H pipe to replace the H pipe I had on at the time, a MAC O/R pipe that I had 2 cats welded up to for e-check. I tried to put it on, but it was about 3 inches too short. I put it on top of the old MAC H pipe and yep, about 3 inches shorter. I ordered it...
