Sn95 5.0 Engine Rebuild

. Pop the hood and look for a loose vacuum line, spark plug wire, injector plug, etc.

Purchase a scanner. It's 20 dollars that no mustang owner can do without. Until then @jrichker Has a sticky that shows how to do it with a paperclip and count the flashes on the check engine light.

i will for sure to look for a scanner but never seen them for 20.00 more like 200.00 but maybe i just always look in wrong places lol


i was thinking more of cracking a few beers and pretending for the rest of the night i have a brand new mustang GT 750 LOL

Obd1 scanners are cheap


Drink a couple beers and tackle the car after you've had a minute to take a breath. Without giving you false hope it really sounds like you are pulling in unmetered air from someplace.

ya ... where its the block is now cracked or something is not plugged in i know it will get fixed since i paid for it he did the work said it was good ....

If your block was cracked you wouldn't have made the 50 miles.

.. what i really hate is not knowing ... i have tried more then once to learn engines but my brain just cant do it .. it dont like learning some things from books yet i can build a computer in the dark with no problem .. lol i know pretty much how to change oil .. you look for that cap that says 710 LOL ......

i know spark plug wires so il check them in the morn before i take it back as for vacuum lines ... i have a hoover and a 1967 "red" kurbi

 

[stykthyn]

Just look for anything that isn't connected. Vacuum lines are just rubber hoses. If you can build a computer you can do basic engine work.

 

[Brian Berthold]

was thinking .. this will help me does anyone have a picture of a stock 94 5.0 that has where the vacuum lines would be?? .... or drawing ... something i can say this is this and that is that and the line would be here time of thing

i really need to get those hanes books

something like this
pic is of car when i first got it

 

[a91what]

engines are so simple. its a big air pump

 

[Brian Berthold]

im still a very visual person though .. i know parts by what they look like as i am exposed to problems i was always able to be there and have them say this is this and that is that ... intake stuff MAF stuff spark plug stuff and major parts air intake block heads stuff like that stuff with belts

i knwo it sounds stupid and i feel stupid cuz i dont know

the only way i kinda knwo wiring

harness is this

 

[a91what]

And that's the beginning. Pictures.

Www.Veryuseful.Com for all your diagram needs.

 

[Brian Berthold]

now that my heart rate has gone down and the engine is cool ... that mo fo gets HOT HOT HOT i popped the hood and had a look around .... fist was SP wires checked at block seem all good checked at cap and i think .. cant be sure i felt a pop (il start it up and take her out in a bit) check all wire plugs i could see and get to all ok i guess ... so now for the new pics

the new water pump look pretty LOL

 

[Brian Berthold]

and .. can someone tell me what this silver thing is ... i dont remember seeing that before

 

[stykthyn]

That's your fuel rail. It's been there the whole time. Promise.

ahh ok ... maybe its that they cleaned it then

witch brings me to a question

i want to clean the engine as you can see there is still some dust dirt but i do know you just cant take a water hose to it ... so any suggestions

 

[stykthyn]

Spray it with purple power, rinse, repeat.
Water hose won't hurt, but I wouldn't blast it with a pressure nozzle.

 

[a91what]

wait just a second and think about that.............

anytime i take a part to the machine shop no matter what it is it comes back to me CLEAN!!! you would think the guy would at least toss the stuff in a solvent tank and brush them clean before the install....
