    wont idle in gear when its warm

    I know that you just replaced the head gasket on the car. When you pulled the head, did you inspect it? One thing I notice was that you said there was radiator fluid in the head. Did you mean on top of the head under the valve cover or did you mean in the piston cylinders? You could have a...

    Maf houshing problem?? any help please.

    OK, it's pretty easy Eric. I think I have a 400 next to my name. That doesn't mean 400 transactions, but 400 different people I have dealt with on Ebay. Depending on what they were selling, I have made many purchase from an individual/company. So, the number next to the user name is the...

    Maf houshing problem?? any help please.

    I have had good luck with them so far and I have been using them a long time. Actually purchased a used 5.2l jeep engine from back east (I am in Cal). It was low mileage (67K supposedly) and I knew the exterior would be a little rough. It ran like a champ. Got it here $350 shipped from a...

    95 mustang starting

    Couple of problems I see. More than likely the park/neutral safety switch. Could just need an adjustment. Ask your pal with the meter if he can help adjust it. If he has that meter, it could indicate he might know a little something. :D

    engine code P1744

    Well, it depends on if the tranny was new or rebuilt. If it was rebuilt, the master kit more than likely does not include the TCC solenoid which means the old one would have been used. Do you know the mileage it was replaced at? I would venture to say that this is probably a solenoid issue...

    97 mustang head gasket problem maybe?

    And thinking about it a little more, not sure why he replaced the water pump gasket as the pump usually goes bad before the gasket does. Not too sure who was working on his car there. Listen, Nick, let us know what you mean by engine not turning as that will be a big indicator. I am almost...

    97 mustang head gasket problem maybe?

    A bad or blown head gasket won't stop a car from starting. Aeroman asked the question of the day: Is the engine seized? Are you saying the engine doesn't turn or that it turns but the engine doesn't fire. There is a big difference. If the engine has overheated, this could lead to a...

    engine code P1744

    Just thinking about it, have you ever done a minor service on your tranny? (Flush, fluid filter). Might work wonders. How many miles does the car have? Do you know if the tranny has ever had a minor service?

    engine code P1744

    Is there any jumping when shifting? Is your car shifting roughly? Do you know someone with a code reader? If you do, have them reset the error code. If not and you have a few bucks to spend, buy a code reader that will reset your codes. Drive around a bit and see if the code comes back up.

    Why won't my 94 Mustang Crank

    A whining sound indicates the Bendix gear is not engaging the flywheel. There is only one solenoid and that is the one sitting on the starter. When you turn on the key to start the car, the solenoid has an arm that pushes the bendix gear into the flywheel. It stays engaged as long as you hold...

    engine code P1744

    I am surprised no one has commented on this yet. Maybe you should read up on what a torque converter is first so you can understand what it does. To quickly answer your question, the TC is located between the engine and the transmission. I guess a good way to think of it is like a clutch in a...

    HELP Power loss, Engine shake, rough idle

    It could be the DPFE sensor. Did you replace it when you replaced the EGR valve?

    3.8 timing marks

    If you have coil packs, you probably don't have timing marks. The timing is set by the computer and there is no need to set a timing as there is no distributor. What is the reason you are looking for the timing? Planning to change the chain? The crank and cam gears have timing marks on...

    Yeah, the year probably would have helped. It's a 99 coupe. I am going to go over all the wiring more thoroughly today so will post if I find the problem for others that experience this. Like I said, I am leaning towards the ECU as when I turn it off and turn it back on it starts fine. Hard...

    I have seen a lot of different discussions on this error code. I started running rough and happened to have a meter on me. I got this code. Made it to where I was going. Sat there for the day and when I went to restart it, it went on fine. Reset the code and drove home. Next day I picked...
