    diag codes

    91-93 uses 3 digit codes if I remember correctly... perhaps the codes were supposed to be 519 (Power steering pressure switch circuit open) and 542 (fuel pump secondary circuit failure:ECA to ground)? The chiltons I have also lists 2 digit codes from 89-93... 51 - ECT/ACT circuit open 95 -...

    Rusty floorpan much?

    Apparently the previous owner spilled some soda or something under the passenger seat a while ago... There's a couple pinholes through the metal but most of it is surface rust...I figure I'll give it all a good scraping down, apply some silicone to the holes, throw some rust converter on the...

    4 cyl t5 bearing retainer??

    I'm not sure if they have it for the 2.3 T5 but you might want to check out hanlon motorsports. I just ordered a rebuild kit from them and I've heard they have steel bearing retainers. http://www.hanlonmotorsports.com/

    Manual Transmission for 2.3L?

    Same transmission, different gearing and different input shaft. All the 5.0 shifters will work.

    Clutch pedal cruise control switch

    Hmmm, I had the column completely unplugged the other day but didn't notice a free connector floating around...I'll have to have another look. Right now I have the whole center console and radio out (just yanked the whole carpet out to replace) and couldn't find the connectors...Worst case: I...

    Whats up - long time no see

    Ha, "old timer". Please, call me Aaron. The goland screenname is from sooo long ago. But anyway, it feels good to be working on the stang again. In addition to the A4LD to T5 swap, I'll also be replacing the carpet (the old one is quite nasty) and customizing the interior. Can you say...

    Clutch pedal cruise control switch

    The one with the jumper was the clutch position switch (what I was calling the neutral safety switch in the last post). This other switch has two leads that come off of it about 6" long, each having two wires.

    Clutch pedal cruise control switch

    Hi there. It's been years since I've posted on here so I'll be surprised if more than a handful of people recognize me but, anyway, I have started wrenching on my stang again and I'm in the middle of the a4ld to t5 swap with an issue. I swapped in the manual pedal assembly noting that there...

    oil seperator

    The oil seperator provides a path for crankcase pressure to go out the valve cover to the intake. When you've got a turbo pushing boost through the intake the pcv valve gets held shut... pressure has to go out somewhere. An NA 2.3 doesn't have this problem and doesn't need an alternate path...

    Oil Leak out front

    The pcv valve (positive crankcase ventilation valve) lets the pressure from the crankcase flow through the oil seperator, through th pcv and into the intake. The vacuum at the hose going to the top of the pcv valve is the vacuum from your intake. That's normal. You should feel pressure on the...

    window motor woes

    You were checking continuity between the wire that goes into the window lift motor and what? Ground? It sounds like a switch may be bad and is crossing connections internally of you've got a bare wire somewhere that is touching something it shouldn't be. Disconnect one side's switch and try...

    Oil Leak out front

    If your pcv system is restricted then you'll get too much pressure under the valve cover which can cause oil to leak out of the valve cover gasket. It might not have leaked right away because the pressure might have taken a little while to build up enough to cause a leak. That hose shouldn't...

    10 feels like 20lbs.

    A leaking noise is usually a vacuum leak. You might wanna see if you've got any ratty lines. My latest xr4ti had loads of leaks when I first got it. All the vacuum lines looked original... it doesn't take much to go through and replace them all.

    Someone kicked my stang today!!!

    My bad. On the DIS cars the PIP is on the crankshaft. I was trying to think of something related. I'm looking at the pinouts for the TFI unit now and I can see where the PIP is for the Speed density cars. :nice:

    Someone kicked my stang today!!!

    For code 54 my chiltons says "Act sensor circuit open". I would check the wiring. Now for the code 14.... I would check out something related to the "PIP circuit" since that was what the code is for.... the only thing I can think of that might be referred to as a PIP circuit on an 89 is the...
