    Cylinder misfire due to oil on spark plug

    Hey all, I searched around but didn't see a thread dedicated to this specific topic; please link to one if I'm wrong! I've had a #6 misfire on my '03 GT first about a year ago and thought I had fixed the problem by swapping the ignition coil. It's been fine since then until about a week ago...

    Engine Drained oil capacity much lower than expected

    Hello all, I got my 2000 GT just about a year ago and did my second oil change today. The refill capacity for it is 5 quarts, but only about 3 quarts came out when I drained it. I have never seen oil puddles beneath the car. Any ideas why this would happen? Thanks!

    What is this???

    Found this in my new fox. I’m not sure exactly what it is. The hose comes from under the intake manifold and back behind the engine I believe. Maybe I’m missing something here but I’ve never seen this..

    I've got a 1991 5.0, with about 104 thousand miles on it. I recently noticed that after I sit at a light for a minute and then start going again, it blows blue smoke out the back. Once I'm moving I dont really see any. Obviously its burning oil. Are my rings worn out? I put a new PCV valve in it...

    Engine Oil Leak Only When Engine's Cold

    So I recently purchased a 1990 Mustang GT, so far it doesn't leak anything beside a little power steering fluid (or radiator fluid I'm not sure). Anyways it leaks a little bit of oil from where the oil pan meets the bellhousing. The weird part is that it only leaks when the engine is cold, It...

    Oil Drain Plug Bad?

    Y'all, I drained the oil in my '90 5.0 LX last night in preparation to change it, but I noticed a small drop of oil clinging to the rear plug. It appears to be leaking from the plug--nothing major--a very slow drip that isn't really noticeable except for said cling-on drop and a small stain...

    Oil Pressure Sender Issue On Roller 351
