Our cars don't use the MIL eliminators, only 96+. 96 is when they switched to OBD II, 94-95 still has OBD I.

Is it still the stock radiator? Looks like you're car has h/c/i, so it would definitely benefit from a new radiator....Fluidyne, Steeda, etc.

you dont need the mil eliminators they wont even work on our cars since we have oBD l computers 96 and newer have OBD ll and try changing your radiator cap sounds like its busted and cant hold in the pressure

look into the summit radiator mentioned above.

flush your coolant system. make sure its not leaking anywhere. new coolant with water wetter or other such additive. new cap and thermostat(180*).

The V6 94-95's were OBD-II. This could be a source of confusion.

its not leaking anywhere that i could see... i just bought a new cap today. and the thermostat is fairly new, maybe a month old?

i was just wondering about the 3 core because i can get it for $100 which is pretty damn cheap!

The obd 2 connector under your dash is there because the v6 cars 94-95 were obd2, and all the cars were wired the same to make it cheaper. The obd1 connector you need is under the hood, on the passenger side, close to the firewall. All you need to do to check your codes is use a paperclip to short two of the connectors (I don't remember which ones, do a search) and the check engine light will flash, read the flashes. sorry this was just general info, if you search the forum you should find the procedure pretty easily.

Nah you're fine man. When I mentioned the V6's being OBD-II, I should have explicitly stated that Ford does not build V6's and GT's separately, and that your GT would have the OBD-II and OBD-I connector in it (just like how coupes have all the convertible wiring inside them). Ergo you would need to forget seeing the OBD-II connector and use the ALDL under the hood.
Scott and some of us type the same stuff over and over and sometimes I get brief with my typing after having done it enough times. This can leave details out.
The info 95YGTS gave you is right on and should have helped a lot.

I was irritated from workin outside when I came in and read the threads (Scott, that hail storm last night tore the house apart. I hope you made out alright!).
