    Hard Time Starting

    1994 5.0L GT Mustang After about 3 or 4 tries, car starts but it takes a lot of work from the car. Car will idle fine but the car will die if I press on the gas. HOWEVER, I was able to drive it home as long as I had the car revving over 1000 RPMs. so, when I was at a stop light or sign, I...

    FINALLY found out why my car doesn't run on its own!!

    For awhile, I have a wiring system hooked up to my car bypassing the ignition so I can get my car to work. The reason why my car has not been able to run has been baffling for several months now. Saturday, I went in for a diagnostic at the Ford Dealership and they told me my CCRM was shot...

    This weekend they stopped working. Checked the fuse and it's working fine. In fact, I replaced it just in case. I'm assumng it's the motor but where is the motor located?

    Fuse Box

    Last night noticed blackness on the left side. Cannot see gas gauge or temperature gauge even though my lights are on. Could this be just a fuse? I don't have the manual to the car. It was sold without one. I'm assuming the fuse box under the steering is where I would need to find the bad...

    Need Reassurance With Knowledge Of My Own Car....(?!)

    I need some reassurance. I went to a "mom and pop" shop to talk to them about a possible diagnostic for my car shaking and timing prices. The main guy that works on the cars said "all cars 1990 and up don't have timing; it's adjusted by the computer" eh??????? He told me they don't have a...

    Why Today Of All Days.....

    I am sick as hell and being pregnant sucks because I can't take anything. Had to call into work sick, again. Went to my classroom to get things ready, came back home and realized my car sounded a lot louder than normal. Looked underneath and my muffler tip (?) had disconnected from the...

    Rough Idle

    Hi, I'm new here but I have a tech question. Recently, I had to replace a module inside the distributer. After I did that, I had to get it timed, which I did and it ran beautiful for the next 2 days. On the 3rd day, when I started my '94 GT, it began shaking! It continues to do this as long...
