    Broken Vacuum Lines. Need Help!

    Hey guys, I've been all over google, looking at links, videos and images and can't source exactly where my vacuum lines go. I took a picture for reference. I had to take a break from working on it and now have no idea if my vacuum lines are right, and where the broken ones are supposed to mate...

    Mid Wire Tuck - Engine Fires Wont Stay Running

    Hey guys, I had to move my mustang to the garage today so I quickly threw my pass side wiring back together (factory location/grounded relay in new location). The drivers side should be completed. I have temporary grounds in place. My common ground for where the service disconnect is had a wire...

    Brandon's "please Help Me Bring Her Back To Life" Thread

    Hey guys! Well, long story short I traded my Integra for a 91 5.0 GT. I presumed it only needed paint and a parking brake cable...but much to my luck it needs a lot more work and this car has been gone through very terribly by the previous owner. I started by replacing all the fuses back to...

    Wiper Issue Under Cowl

    Hey guys, Got a weird issue that I've googled and searched the forums that I can't find. My driver's side wiper keeps falling off the pivot on the passenger side. There's a plastic piece that connects to a ball pivot on the passenger side arm mount. It's worn out to the point that I cant...

    Quick EGR Question

    I'm planning on doing the 2.3 Ranger header swap here soon. I got one from the junkyard a few months back, but unfortunately i cannot remember the year, or if it had the O2 sensor in the manifold or not (I'm not at home at the time). However, I did pull the whole unit. The header, EGR tube and...

    Hesitant Startup.

    Hey guys, I have a 2.3 N/A with a 4spd automatic. It's also a duraspark motor. I seem to have a choking start up. It's very quick to come and dissipate. It's only within the first 1-2 seconds of start up, but I know it's not a proper firing. So far I've replaced: · Replace Both...

    Shimmy in my steering.

    I have a 93 2.3 LX (Should still be the same rack and pinion system as the 5.0) I've had an issue ever since I bought the car. When I'm driving, the steering wheel is all over the place. I'll keep tension on the wheel since it's a little sloppy, but it feels almost like...bump steer? When I...

    Refrigerant Lines

    Hey guys, The compressor was bad (like BAD, the clutch moves every direction and the pulley locks every inch turn lol). I got another compressor now. I know it's wise to replace the receiver/dryer (accumulator) when opening the system up, so I'm gonna get one. For one, the lines are...

    Help with some random fixes

    Hey guys, I purchased this 2.3 lx a few months back, and in severity I've done a complete tuneup and went through the entire ignition system. Since it's getting warmer now, I can finally fix some things. 1. The seatbelts are really squeaky when you lean forward and back, does anyone...

    Serious issue...

    Hey guys, I'll try not to make this long lol. I recently did a thermostat and it shattered into pieces when I pulled the coolant hose off. Needless to say a piece fell behind my crank pulley, got caught and destroyed the crank position sensor to nothing, mangled the crank hub as well. I...

    AC Compressor

    Hey guys, I just bought a 93 2.3 N/A (Automatic) with 71k on it. Buttt, It has some flaws. One thing I'm concerned about is the AC compressor. The pump was disconnected and I decided to take a look. I turned the pump and it would turn about 3/4 inch and get stuck, then I'd have to turn...

    Hey guys, I've only got about a week left to figure out this problem, so all help is appreciated! I have 78 Coupe - 4 cylinder - 4 speed. I'm having issues keeping it running at cold start. Once it warms up it's fine. If my foot isn't on the accelerator, the car will instantly drop...

    Some Things Don't Work When Cold

    Hey guys, I noticed the other day (since I don't drive this much yet) that the Gas, Temp, Wipers, and Turn Signals will not work when it's cold outside. Once it's warmer outside or the vehicle warms up they work. I'm not sure what could cause this, as if it was a ground they wouldn't...

    Replacing Fuel Pump in a 78 4cyl

    Hey guys! I'm trying to swap a new fuel pump and it's quite the pita. I know how to swap them, but everything is in the way of getting the back bolt out (closest to the firewall) I got both bolts out, but I'm definitely not spending an hour on the back bolt again putting it in. I feel...
