    A different HVAC vacuum question

    Yes, I know. That's why I mentioned that I never use any other function so just having defrost for a while isn't that big of an issue for me. I was just asking if plugging it would create any other issues.

    A different HVAC vacuum question

    Yes, the main vacuum tree (driver side firewall) is plugged. There is still a small part of hose, maybe 4 inches, left sticking out of the access point to the hvac control. That shouldn't be a problem, should it? It is neither sucking or blowing lol. I don't use the a/c, never have need for...

    A different HVAC vacuum question

    This isn't the usual vacuum hose/hvac control question. My car has a/c but hasn't worked in *counts on fingers* probably 8 or 9 years. The hose is cracked in several places and I pulled it off and plugged it. There is still the section of hose coming in from the firewall. Are there any adverse...

    Distributor/Transmission Question

    Car Part Wholesale - Auto Parts and Accessories Catalog - Accel Distributor - Billitech - Billet aluminum This is the one I'm leaning towards. New, not reman, like suggested. And a nice price, compared to Jegs or Summit.

    Distributor/Transmission Question

    As talked about in a previous thread, it seems that my PIP sensor has up and bit the dust. I'm going the whole new distributor route and the distributor I have taken a liking too says it's for manual transmission equipped cars. I have an AODE. Is Jegs just retarded? That's the only website that...

    Sudden RPM Loss

    I guess the PIP finally shot it's wad lol. Died coming up to a redlight and couldn't get it started, had it towed home.

    Sudden RPM Loss

    So the PIP would tie in with the random no-starts, correct? Along that front, I've posted about it before, but the car would crank and crank and nothing, charging system is good, along with new dizzy cap and rotor, TFI module, coil, and plugs and wires.

    Sudden RPM Loss

    I was on the way home from work tonight, cruise control set at 65. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the car jerked and lost rpms, I mean totally down to 0. Then everything was back to normal, all within a second or two. I know you'll ask, so here goes: the car is basically stock, which means...

    Random No-Starts

    How long do coils usually last? The MSD coil I have now is about 7 years old. I guess the stock one was on there 10 years. Holy crap, this car is old. Would anything lead to early coil failure? Or is it just one of those things, ya know.

    Random No-Starts

    Atleast once a day I have a no-starting issue. At first, I could count to 10 and then it would start, then it progressed to a couple minutes, then today it took me half an hour, lol. It also seems to be bogging slightly in normal driving. I've replaced the ignition module, it has new plugs...

    Harmonic Balancer choices

    For a daily driver, to and fro work car. I've read to stay away from Dorman products, so I've narrowed it down to the Ford Racing balancer and the Pioneer non-SFI balancer. They are similar in price with the FRPP being 2 bucks more, but it can be here a couple days sooner as well. Any opinions...

    Is this an exhaust leak?

    no updates but to me it sounds like an exhaust flange or something vibrating.

    WTH another problem

    Seems like I come in here every few weeks with some issue, this time it's a rusty crank pulley. Yeah, I said it, a rusty crank pulley. Anyone ever have this issue? It's just a really annoying sound...lol! It sounds like a propeller or helicopter blades rotating at slow speeds, whirr whirr whirr...

    Is this an exhaust leak?

    There's a sound I can't quite describe. The best way to describe it is metallic vibration, something like if you spin a quarter on a desk, it only lasts a few seconds, does it in any gear but only when the gear is winding out and the tranny is going to shift (it's an aode). Thanks for any help...

    Do I need a new engine/rebuild?

    it had a fram on there before the intake swap, now it's some unknown white brand, i think it's a valucraft autozone type; I didn't have the oil and filter so the mechanic probably just used the cheapest thing. The oil is being changed again this weekend, right after the motor flush is ran...

    Do I need a new engine/rebuild?

    Would anyone here recommend me going to a thicker, 20w oil with the next oil change?

    Do I need a new engine/rebuild?

    So i haven't touched it since last Friday. Today i start it and it holds good pressure for about an hour of sitting/idling and driving around the neighborhood. After that hour or so, it starts to lose pressure. I can shut it off and let it sit a minute and when I restart it, it has...

    Will other AODE's work in my 94 mustang GT

    It is basically a 99% direct swap, there are just a few little things that need swapped from one tranny to the other. The 4r70w is just a beefed up AODE with wide gear ratios. I got mine for $200 and had it installed with a shift kit added for another $200. No horror stories here. If you can...

    Will other AODE's work in my 94 mustang GT

    I actually have a 4r70w from a 2002 in my 94, so yeah, it will work.

    Do I need a new engine/rebuild?

    Know what's funny, another (better) mechanic seems to think this is exactly what happened. He said if the mechanic who did the gaskets hadn't done such a job before that he could have easily not installed the distributor the right way.
