Need to replace the strut rod brackets. I've left the old ones on so far, and taken several hundred measurements...

    97 cobra - what to do...

    I bought this car for my step son and helped replace nearly every part on it. I ended up with it back and the oil pump gave out. Got a 98 cobra motor with 80k miles on it and fixed it. Hanlons rebuilt the t45. All Steeda suspension. Needs body work and paint. So a decent running car I have a ton...

    97 Cobra no code misfire after eng replacement

    I solved this some time ago. Even though they looked brand new, the #7 spark plug wire had failed. It finally threw a Cyl #7 missfire code. New plugs, wires, and coil packs and its screaming down the road again.

    ABS Problem

    Yea, ABS problems are not always easy. And the ABS module/pump are Cobra specific. 94-98 I think. No swapping with a GT or V6. Which also means unobtainable. But the wheel sensors are still available. And here is a link to get you started down the dark ABS hole...

    Timing chain slap?

    It "sounds" like timing chain...could be valve train too. Ive replaced the timing chains, tensioners and gears on a 97 cobra motor. Ford Motorsport sells a complete kit. But you need to narrow down the location of the sound. Either a long screwdriver to your ear or a diagnostic stethiscope...

    Needing help

    I chased a misfire for weeks thinking it was something serious on #7. New wires. They "looked" ok, but put a new set of Ford Racing 8mm wires on and never ran better. Make sure to follow/verify where each wire lands on the coil pack. They are numbered.

    rough idle and very slight miss

    What about the lower intake gaskets? It does sound like a leak. My bet was on coil paks and wires but you covered that...unless I missed it-what year cobra? Hopefully you dont have to deal with IMRC plates...

    What Hose Is In Front Of Passenger Side Wheel Behind Plastic Guard

    wmburns, I solved the 4011 on my 97 Cobra today. Been putting it off dreading dealing with another emissions CEL. And there is shockingly little info on this part of the system/this DTC 4011, on the internet. But I found a lot of people asking how to fix it. I swear I've learned more about...

    97 Cobra no code misfire after eng replacement

    Eng seized on the 97 Cobra. Found a 98 Cobra motor with 80k miles on it. Looked like brand new. Spotless. Not cleaned though. It came out of a car like that. Still had the inspection sticker on the back of the valve cover. I couldn't make the 98 eng harness work so I swapped the 97 harness onto...

    97 Cobra Car-installing 98 Cobra Motor

    Started right up. No warning lights at all. Runs great. The only anomaly I found was that the temp gauge is not accurate. Reads way too low. Barely comes off the first notch. Put in a new thermostat before we started it. Temp gun say ~200 degrees and the fan cycles on and off like it should. Ill...

    97 Cobra Car-installing 98 Cobra Motor

    So I gave up. I could only figure out half of it. The primary circuit in that connector was the coolent level in the plastic tank. Easy enough. The hard part was the little air (?) Solinoid thst moved from the passenger side to the driver side of the motor. The 97 connector was in the chassis...
