I just bought an 89 mustang with a 2.3L It is not currently running (missing serp belt and battery) and the guy wanted it gone. I only gave him $200
1) The 5 speed pedal goes to the floor like ther eis nothing hooked up. Is something broke here? What should I be looking for? Is this tranny a T-5?
2) I am going to hit the salvage yards this weekend. After I get a serp belt and battery in it, if it doesn't run (I assume it won't), what should I look for first? Soemoen who is familiar wiht the 2.3 L help me out here, give me some steps.
3) This helps wiht the other two questions.. When I am looking for parts in a slavage yard, what all 2.3L motors are the same as the one in the 89 mustang? Tbird?, Merkur? Ranger? I say Merkur because in the local salvage yard there is an 88 Merkur with a 2.3L and 5 speed. Is this the exact same motor, tranny, and ECU as the mustang I bought? What parts can I rob off of this to fix my motor / tranny.
Any help will be greatly appreciated [email protected]
