    Got some probs with some codes

    In my 96 GT I have codes 171 and 174. They went away with a new maf replacement once before but now they are back. Fuel pressure is good, maf is good, pcv and hoses all good, sprayed carb cleaner (the flammable kind) around the intake manifold gaskets and nothing. I don't hear any sounds or...

    So I just picked up some PI heads, what else do I need?

    I have just acquired some complete PI heads out of an 02 Crown Vic. I plan to let a machine shop port and polish them. I was not able to get the intake manifold since someone had already taken it. Aside from the obvious of needing a manifold, are there any other parts I will need to complete...

    PI head question

    I have come across a few pairs of PI heads from several 2000 and up Crown Vic police interceptors with the 4.6. Would these heads match up to the block on my 1996 GT? Has anyone swapped these? They are dirt cheap. I have to pull them, but I don't know which PI heads will work outside of the...

    Auto trans stalls in gears

    I have a 95 that I recently replaced the iac on due to high revs. The car idles fine now but stalls when it is put into drive or reverse. If I put it in gear with my foot on the gas it will run but when I stop it immediately stalls out. This is a new one to me. Any ideas?

    1995 v6 code 171

    I have a 1995 Mustang 3.8 vert. I have a mil light on and code po171 (lean bank) is what the scanner prompts. This is a car that I bought for $500 with a bum trans that sat for nearly three years. Got it running in Jan 2007 and it runs great except for that code. Coincidently, the motor...

    Fuel pressure

    I recently replaced a known bad fuel pump that was causing a miss on my '96 GT. It put out 30lbs of pressure prior to replacement and with the vacuum hose disconnected at the pressure regulator, it flucuated between 36 and 38lbs with a very unsteady needle. I now have steady pressure with...

    Bad Sensor?

    A friend of mine replaced his aode trans that was bad on a '94 Stang this weekend and the tcc sensor harness had trans fluid in it, like the sensor leaked through. He also put a newer trans in his car, one that uses mercon V fluid, year unknown. I don't know but does he need to have the trans...

    Tranny question

    I recently picked up this 95 vert that had sat for 3 years due to a bad tranny. The girl said when the tranny went all the car would do was rev but not go until it eventually wouldn't move at all. The shop told her it would have to be replaced, but a mechanic never looked it over, just told her...

    Timing chain replacement

    I'm getting ready to replace the timing chain after 150k on my 1996 GT 2v and I've replaced many timing chains in cars throughout my life but while glancing through the procedure in the Haynes manual it says that you have to remove the oil pan, which requires removing the tranny. I've never had...

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    I posed this question about a month ago but milk, a three year old, and computers don't go together well. I have a stock 1996 4.6 that is giving me fits with an intermittent cutout problem. I have replaced the spark plugs, coils, fuel filter, and air filter all at the same time. The spark...

    Why does this buck and hesitate?

    I have a '96 GT and for some reason the car runs bad when its in drive. The car will idle fine in park or neutral but when it is in drive, it hesitates at idle at a stoplight, not constantly but about every 5 seconds. The tach barely registers the miss but you can still hear the car cut out...
