    Extreme engine vibration (especially while in reverse)

    I was informed of this weight difference while doing the swap, so I made sure that the new engine was balanced at the same weight as the old engine. Thanks for the reply.

    Extreme engine vibration (especially while in reverse)

    Just finished putting a remanufactured engine in my stang. Everything runs great except this vibration. The vibration isn't too bad until the car is put into reverse. The minute I shift into drive or neutral, the vibration minimizes. I have no idea what it could be. The engine mounts and the...

    Torque converter engages too early

    Not sure what all of the numbers mean and I probably should have mentioned that it is an automatic. The mechanics that have actually driven my car have said that they feel the torque converter engaging way too early. One of the transmision specialist went as far as saying he thought this was...

    Torque converter engages too early

    Torque converter locks up/engages around 15-20 mph instead of around 40 mph. One specialist believes this may be due to a computer calibration problem? Any ideas?

    Air Bag Light

    Had my convertible top replaced and the air bag light began blinking since I picked the car up. It never came on before and only just started since these people had my car. It has been almost a year and still can't get this thing cleared. Any suggestions?

    extreme hesitation

    Took my stang to another transmission specialist and he drove it around. In his opinion he thought that the transmission was working properly and that all of the problems the car is having is due to a computer issue. He thought that the computer might need a calibration update. Anyone ever...

    extreme hesitation

    Thanks for the reply. No codes have come on. The problems persist all of the time regardless of engine temperature. Any time I accelerate there is spark knock, but it is way worse when trying to accelerate right after slowing down. A compression test was completed and each cylinder was in...

    extreme hesitation

    I know this is for the big dogs but I figured there would be more knowledgeable/experienced people here and have not found the help I need in the v6 forums. Plus, as soon as I get this problem figured out I'll upgrade this engine. Have a 95 v6 automatic that has baffled every mechanic that has...

    Pinging ...ugh

    My 95 always used to ping when using 87 octane so I used 93 octane for over a year and the pinging stopped. When I switched back to 87 it started pinging again. The carbon deposits were so bad that I took the engine apart and reconditioned the heads. After that, I was able to use 87 octane...

    Engine hesitation and no HP

    Thanks for the reply. Not a single engine code has come on. The last engine codes came on about 3 years ago after replacing my EGR valve (excessive flow detected at EGR and No flow detected at EGR).

    RPMs go up but car does not accelerate

    Thanks for the reply. It is an automatic. I've checked the fluid and it is at the full mark and it is not overfilled because there are no bubbles on the dipstick when I pull it out. I hate to say it but I think the tranny might be kicking it. It has 185k miles on it but it was rebuilt at...

    RPMs go up but car does not accelerate

    Thanks for the reply. It is a 95 mustang and it is an automatic. This is definitely something I will check into. I plan on changing the transmission filter and fluid tomorrow and putting an additive in the transmission. Before doing this, I will check the cable you talked about to see if it...

    RPMs go up but car does not accelerate

    When I pushed on the accelerator while attempting to pass another vehicle the rpms increased to about 4000 but the car stayed at 45mph and didn't go any faster. I let off the gas, waited a about 10 seconds and attempted to pass again. Once again the rpms more than doubled but the car didn't go...

    Engine hesitation and no HP

    Already replaced fuel filter I've replaced the fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, camshaft sensor and crankshaft sensor. Was thinking about replacing the fuel pump. The fuel pump tested at 31psi at idle which is low but still within the acceptable range (30-45psi).

    No Hp and extreme engine hesitation

    Have a 95 v6 that has baffled every mechanic that has looked at it. Car has hesitation issues accompanied by spark knock and there is a total lack of hp. The worst part is after the car slows down (but doesn't come to a complete stop) and then tries to accelerate again. The car will not...
