    Check Out My Pony

    My '92 LX is an old whore, but I love her none the less. Try to keep your '88 as nice as possible. It would be a shame if in 30 years people forgot mustangs had 2.3L engines. Its up to us to remind them. :flag:

    93 Mustang 2.3l Automatic Trans. Helpppppp!!!!!!!

    I solved the same problem with my A4LD by junking it and converting my 92 to a T-5 Manual 5-speed. I highly recommend the swap. The input shaft seal was leaking on mine. If you are still having the problem, also recommend buying a few cans of brake parts cleaner, thoroughly cleaning everything...

    " The Seal That Time Forgot ": Fel-pro: Es 72734

    Well if you haven't guessed yet, I picked up a Fel-Pro "Timing Cover Dust Seal Set", part number: ES 72734. Now for the fun part, I can't find any directions on how to install the seal in question. I even made the mistake of asking Fel-Pro directly and they told me to check with the...

    1992 Clock Spring

    UPDATE!!! I have successfully swaped in a clockspring from a 1994 Mustang 3.8L into my 1992 2.3L, so far so good. Give me a few days to test it out, If I am certain it works 100%, I will post how-to instructions for others with pictures. I will say, this is not a project for novices. You...

    1992 Clock Spring

    Yeah I read that thread. I suspect I am going to have to get a newer clock spring and splice on the older plugs or re-pin the connectors. I plan to pull out the old one and will attempt to open it. If I rebuild it and it works, I will post pics for the next poor soul. :rolleyes: Don't...

    1992 Clock Spring

    Update... I have CJ Pony Parts digging for one now but I was just wondering if anyone re-pinned or re-wired one from a newer Mustang or Crown Vic or Ranger with any degree of success. Any idea on a good price for a bone-yard piece? :)

    MPG question

    Update Last three tankfuls were at 44 psi tire pressure and I made over 25 mpg on each. :D If your tires are rated to 45 psi max put them to 44. I love the hard ride and outstanding road feel. The MPG is a plus too. I just did another oil change, trans fluid change, cleaned out the...

    something is wrong

    Your catalytic converter may be clogged. With you car in neutral, rev the engine can it go past 3000 rpm? If it cant get past 2000 rpm +/- you have an exhaust blockage. Another way to check is attack a vacuum gauge to the engine and slowly rev it up, if the vacuum decreases as RPMs slowly...

    need some n/a 2.3 help

    If the tach is working strangely I would vote for the ICM is bad. Go to you local junkyard and harvest one off a ford ranger, then go to Radio Shack and get a tube of white conductive jelly. They are only mounted by three screws in spite of the fact there are 4 holes on the module. Take the 3...

    heat in a '88 2.3

    Its 20 degrees here in Harrisburg PA so I know your pain dagenham. AKA3Toes I picked up a Mr. Gasket #4365 Thermostat only to discover it does not fit like the factory T-stat nor does it work correctly when installed. Question: is the #4365 for the 5.0L or the 2.3L? It looks like it will...

    2.5 duratec engine swap on fox body

    BNZAG have you removed the air restrictor in your intake muffler yet? Can you legally gut your catalytic converters in your state? Those two mods can do wonders. I also think a 5 speed swap might be an easier project for you. I can at least help you with a complete parts list and step-by-step...

    Let's talk suspension maintenance

    - Jack the front wheels in the air supporting them by the lower control arms with jack stands as close to the lower ball joints as possible to unload the suspension. - Have your friend grab the fronts of each front tire, one at a time, and shake them from left to right. While he is doing...

    MPG question

    Improvement! OK on to tank three. This is going to sound like a Public Service Announcement but keeping your tires properly inflated helps mas mileage a lot. Tank three clocked in at 11.439 gallons over 304.8 miles or 26.646 miles per gallon. That is an improvement of almost 6 mpg from the...

    MPG question

    Second tank was 297.1 miles over 14.287 gallons or 20.795 miles per gallon. I checked my tire pressure and three or my tires were very low. I will report the third tank with properly inflated tires but I suspect mileage in the mid 20's will require some new plugs, new wires, throttle body...

    heat in a '88 2.3

    I was thinking about what you said dagenham... If you have a code reader, the fan should come on when you are in diagnostic mode and pulling the computer's trouble codes. If the fan comes on in diagnostic mode, the fan circuit is OK. However, If your radiator fan is never coming on, especially...
