    Digital Compass Showing "--"

    It's been about 3 weeks since my compass stopped working correctly, and instead just shows "--" where "N" or "S" etc should be. I tried holding 7 & 9 together on the radio buttons, to re-calibrate, but that didn't work. Also unhooked the battery to see if it would reset something, but that...

    PCV valve rattle?

    I've noticed a rattle coming from the PCV valve area on the drivers side valve cover. I have the Ford Racing valve covers, they're only a few months old. I can hear it at idle, it's intermittent, and it's really noticeable with a stethoscope. It goes away if I rev the car up a bit and comes back...

    clutch pedal clicking

    Just purchased a 2010 GT, it only has 5300 miles. I noticed today that when I press the clutch pedal down, I hear 1 or 2 'clicks'. It's doing it every time I press it down, and it seems like it's coming from the pedal. Anyone else have this clicking? It's still under warranty, but if it's...

    Suspension question (pic inside)

    Is the bolt circled in the attached picture supposed to be loose? I was under the car the other day and I can turn mine by hand...I'm not a suspension guru so I'm not sure what it does/if it should be tightened one way or the other :shrug:

    Paint pricing

    What is a decent price range for a front bumper paint job? Also, I have a few rock chips I've been painting in with touch up paint, would they be able to blend those in at all? or would they just have to repaint the hood... I understand the price will vary greatly from place to place, I'm...

    refrigerant leak, can I patch it up?

    One of the aluminum lines that runs AC refrigerant has a hole in it and leaks refrigerant...I found this out when I went to the garage today after my compressor decided to stop working the other day. They showed me the leak, it's next to the air intake (I have the K&N filter system) which has...

    Exhaust leak

    I installed an SLP lm II catback on the car yesterday afternoon. The instal itself was straightforward, but I do have a leak where the h-pipe hooks up to the rest of the catback. Here's the problem, I can't tighten up the exhaust anymore at that particular hookup...the exhaust flanges from the...

    stuck!

    I put some tires in my backseat to have them put on a couple weeks ago. I covered the seats with a blanket and I made it stay in place by lowering the back seats and then sticking the sheet above them and into the trunk. Now I can't get them out one one side :stupid: . It looks like the...

    Hose problem - Oil Leaking out

    About 3 months ago one of the hoses which comes out of the valve cover (left side when looking at engine bay, goes from cover to plenum) ruptured. I went to autozone and they gave me a free hose to replace that one. Yesterday, something started to smell from the engine bay, sort of like...

    Caster Camber plate noise

    I had CC plates installed a few weeks ago, they did a horrible job, I had to get my money back and take it somewhere else (posted thread and pics about this). The second shop did a great job but I'm starting to notice a knocking sound from the passenger side plate. I know the sounds my car...

    Caster Camber plate install (PICS)

    I didn't have the tools to install these correctly so I took them to Goodyear where my alignment was still under warranty. I picked it back up earlier and drove it for less than a mile when I started to hear thumping sounds under the hood. I went back to Goodyear, the mechanic added spacers...

    Vibration problem

    A year ago I got new rims/tires. Had them installed, balanced and had the car re-aligned at SEARS (worked there so got a discount...) Anyways, they balanced it 3 times because I brought it in to have it re-done since I was getting the old steering wheel shake/vibrations. It still wasn't...

    Clutch squeak?

    This morning I got into my car and I was picking out a CD to listen to...I had the door open, engine off, and I put my foot down on the clutch, just as a reflex I guess since that's what I do anytime I get in to drive. Anyways, I heard a rather funny sound, like a squeak coming from outside. I...

    transmission question

    I drained and refilled the tranny fluid last weekend w/ 3.2 L (3.4 quarts) of non-synthetic dex III ATF fluid. It was a big improvement in the 1-2-3 shifts on cold startups. I've got 2 questions: 1, I noticed a very small amount of tranny fluid on the floor this morning when backing the car...

    TB/Plenum lining up

    The other day when I had my intake tube off to get to header bolts, I ran my finger inside the TB (it's a Ford Racing 70mm hooked up to a 70mm Accufab Plenum) out of curiosity. I found that there is a gap between where the TB opens up to the Plenum. It seems that, just by feel, the plenum...

    Car feels "bumpy"...help!!!

    Sorry if this is kind of long but I need some help! I decided to tighten my header bolts some. I was going to drop the k-member but then I decided to just jack up the engine to tighten down a couple of bolts. Here is what I did. 1. I removed the passenger side tire (I thought I was going to...

    Which x?

    I'm looking into switching my off-road h to an off-road x pipe. It needs to be a shorty and it needs to fit BBK LT's. So far when I searched I found out that Dr. Gas or VRS will fit. I hear BBK x pipes sound like crap but what about the other two? anybody have any suggestion? Gabe

    Catback problems

    I spent most of the afternoon yesterday cutting off the old cat back and installing a new mac cat back. Everything went well except I'm scraping in the rear end when it hits a bump/depression in the road. It seems like it's scraping near the rear axle on a metal bar that moves up and down...
