    Engine Dies after a few minutes, won't restart.

    I've had trouble with my '91 LX 5.0 for some time. It started running very rich and progressed to the point where it barely ran. Think it was the computer, I took the car to a local shop owned by a guy that is into Fox bodies. He loaned me a spare computer he had, and it seemed to run fine. I...

    '91 5.0 began running poorly/missing etc. A friend with a shop had a known good A9L we swapped in and cured the problem. He needed his test unit back, so I bought a used A9L off eBay.

    AOD to T5 issues

    After 14 years and 1 rebuild the AOD went south again. I've swapped in a rebuilt T5 and am pleased but have 2 issues. 1. The clutch. It ingages with the pedal about 1" off the floor. In order to get even that much pedal travel the fork is in constant contact with the bearing. Is this...

    Engine cooling fan question.

    My cooling fan runs anytime the key is in the "on" position regardless of the engine temperature. Is there a relay somewhere that might be stuck? Any other possibilities? It's a '90 model by the way.
