I had my mustang out a few times this year with no issues until now. I took it out of the gargae and parked it in the driveway for a few hours, no issues when i did this. A few hours later I went out to move it back into the garage (car was parked on a slight incline), the transmission lever...

Hi, I am looking to install an aftermarket electrical temperature guage in addition to the factory guage. I am looking for some step by step instructions on how to do this (what wire to tap into for power, where the sending unit goes etc.). I have found alot of posts on this but no real step by...

Hi, I just purchased a 67 Coupe with a 289, automatic. I have always had fuel injected cars and just sold my 87 fox body Mustang so carburetors are completly new to me, trying to stumble my way through it. The car runs great, but seems to lack alot of power. At wide open throttle the car seems...

I checked through the idle serge check list and still can't figure this out. I went through the steps to reset the idle. When I do set the idle with the IAC disconnected it idles fine and smooth but I had to set it at 850-900rpm or it would stall. When I hook up the IAC again it idles even...

I just finished replacing my intake gaskets along with installing new headers. At the same time I cleaned my MAF sensor which was full of gunk. I start it up and have some idle issues with the rpms surging up and down. So I fixed that by following the idle reset procedure. I still have a high...

Anyone know what the threaded whole is for in the back of the block. This is a picture of the back of the block with the lower intake removed. There was nothing screwed into this spot but it was filled with coolant. I am not sure if something should be there or if it was full of coolant becase...

How do I safely remove the rest of the glue/gasket material from the lower intake without taking off too much material. Can I use 2000 grit sandpaper? I have used a razor blade along with some gasket remover but this is as clean as I can get it. Or is this corrosion on the aluminim as it only...

I took my lower intake out to replace the intake gaskets and noticed that one of the injectors is a different color than the rest of the injectors. 7 of them have an orange top and black base, but one has an orange top and a grey base. Is this just a difference for an aftermaket injector or...

I can't seem to get the fuel rail connections to pull apart. I have the correct AC/Fuel line disconnect tools but when I push it in it does not move at all. I have sprayed some PB Blaster in the connections but still with no luck. Any suggestions on how to get these apart?

Hi, I had a slow coolant loss and hopefully I have found the issue. All of my lower intake bolts were loose. Off by about 8-10 ft pounds. My first question is, if I tighten them all up will the gasket seal again? The reason why I ask is I do not really want to take out the lower intake if I can...

I have been thinking of getting a new set of headers, the headers I currently are rusty and I have tried everything to paint them but it just burns off. The question I have is, does it matter what headers I get? Will they bolt right up to my current exhaust or do I need a set of headers that...

I have found quite a few posts on head gasket replacement but not exactly what I am looking for. Does anyone have any step, by step, by step instructions on how to replace them? I know the standard Haynes books but I find they miss a few steps that may be common knowledge to most but not to...

I am an 87 mustang converted over to mass air with a 70mm throttle body. From everything I have read from other posts the code on the mass air sensor should start with F2VF. Looking at mine it is F07F-12B579-A2B. From what I found through google one of the applications for this mass air code...

Can anyone help with code 87?

With the key in the run position, the fuel pump primes but continues to run. I tried replacing the relay but this did not solve the issue. Any suggestions on where to start?

So, this weekend I went to a car show which is about an hour and a hlaf away. On the way down the car ran great. I parked it at the car show and it sat in the hot weather for about 8 hours. Started her back up to head back home and had no issues until a few miles down the road. First issue was...

So I decided to change my plugs today as I do not know when the last time they were changed. Bought a set of Autolite plugs and gapped them at .054. Started with the first plug and came on to it pretty hard and it would not budge. Checked a few others and they are all the same way. I do not want...

Ok, so we were driving home from a car show today on the highway and just about home when I hear this clunk and then I see something fly out from underneath the car and bounce down the road. Took it slow for a few km and everything seems fine so I made a loop around went back to where it...

I purchased a new wiring connectors and a new headlight / foglight switch for my 87 Mustang. The previous owner had the fog light hooked up to a toggle switch and only had an LX headlight swith installed, the one without the fog light switch. I want to wire the foglight back to the the headlight...

Hi, I need some opinions. I am having some issues with my T5 transmission in my 87 Mustang. I was going to have it taken out and rebuilt but I found a used one with 90,000 km for $380. The seller says that it shifted fine before it was taken out. How long does a T5 typically last before a...
