    Pics And Help me FIX the saturn beater!!!! video inside!

    Oh, the other thing I agree with 94 Cobra 5.0 on is the CTS. They are strange little things that work well when the do, but cause MAJOR problems when they don't. They can also cause other codes that aren't really true... namely misfires and loads of throttle body codes (IAC, TPS, etc.). It...

    Pics And Help me FIX the saturn beater!!!! video inside!

    Adam - From what I remember. , the service wrench light means something catastrophic happened (or is happening). I could be wrong about this though, I forgot what lights comes on for routine maintenance, but sort of looks scary. I thought they changed this in the 00 or 01 model year...

    Adam - Much easier format... tnx. Check plugs for carbon tracking and age. Wires may be junk too. They are usually dated when they are made... That torque axis mt does look poor, but that wouldn't cause jumping around like that. Coolant temp sensors are notorious as are Idle Air...

    Buyer Beware!!! Use Caution buying from MUSTANG WAREHOUSE!!! Buyer Beware!!!

    I got my h pipe through them a month or two ago and they were fine. No real communication, but I got the item within a week. Sounds like the one bad transaction in a thousand. Sorry for the problem though, it sucks.

    Shipping Co. (DAS) Rant!!!

    I used them to ship a bike a while ago and was not happy with their service, it took several days longer than predicted because they were closing the local warehouse and my bike was just sitting there on a pallet. They offered very little in the way of a "sorry" other than just saying "oops" and...

    Mold in my car?

    evap core drain hoses may be clogged and causing water to build up behind the front pass and driver carpets, causing mold. sunroof drains (if it has one) can also clog and dump water down the headliner to the lowest point (again, R & L ft carpet), causing smell also. if the car has a...

    Homemaid 2-stage Boost controller

    That's a good point... (above) :lol: I read through the build-up a while ago and am always impressed. If the car is only running low boost now, imagine what kind of power it could make if it were controllable through graduated levels of boost. I.e. 5 psi at 0-20mph, 7psi at 21-30mph and...

    Batteries in my plow truck R dead.

    :OT: :OT: :OT: :OT: :OT: :OT: :OT: Okay, so the problem I ran into over the past week was that the primary (starting) battery in my plow truck was dead. I jumped it w/the accord and it ran fine. Bear in mind that the at night temperature here has been 0-15. Wind chill below 0. And a few days...

    Homemaid 2-stage Boost controller

    Check out Hallman boost controllers. I had one on my Daytona IROC and the thing worked really well. I believe they make a 2 stage one. Plus, you could always just get ideas and fab something similar. www.hallmanboostcontroller.com Good luck.

    +1000 for sucking big time. Sorry to hear about that. Hope it all works out in the end. You could always take the $$$ and buy a bike...

    sputtering while accelerating

    If you can, yank the plugs tonight and see if any of them have carbon tracking on them. If yes, you know which one to replace. But all at once would probably be a good idea if one (or a few) are bad. Good luck!

    sputtering while accelerating

    Absolutely, it sounds like a bad plug (or several) if it minimizes at higher RPMS more than lower ones. Typically, I found bad plugs seem worse "around" shift points, give or take a few hundred RPMS. When the engine is at idle, the spark is so infrequent that it doesn't seem that evident, but...

    motor has 120,XXX, need opinions on rebuild!

    It seems like we are missing basic information here: Is there a compression issue? Is the engine burning oil (blow-by, as mentioned by several members above)? Is one cylinder (or more) worn to the point of crap? (see above questions) I would REALLY think that unless there is a specific...

    Heater problems

    I don't know much about F-150s, are the HVAC systems electronic or cables and vacuum lines? If electronic, I would guess that thing took a crap (another Chevy truck I had, not the one listed in the sig had that happen and I replaced it with no further problems). If manual, I would...

    sputtering while accelerating

    It sounds to me like a very mild misfire. Not sure what code 565 is, my Chilton manual doesn't give 3 digits, only 2. What brand were the plugs & wires? I have heard that these engines (94-95) only like factory stuff. Unless the O2 sensors are complete junk, I would doubt they would...
