    88 MUSTANG LX 2.3 ¿¿¿WHERE DO I START??

    Pulled the part of the dash that covers the speedometer and other guages. The reason why I'm getting no lights for check engine and stuff is because there is no lighting asseMbly for those lights and there are no plug ins for it. Very confused now. And yes the oil pressure and volt meter work...

    88 mustang 2.3 Lx questions. new to mustangs

    hatchback car. im kind of unclear about the north carolina inspection laws, if i can remove the cats or not. or just gut them. i think since its below 1996, that it only has to pass the safety inspection, not the emissions. wait if they started badging the 90-93 cars with LX, why does my 88...

    Bought a 88 stang 2.3 na. needs work. help please

    alright ill have to talk around, see if anyone is willing do do some cheap welding for me. About the miss in the motor/rough running problem. you think it sounds like a bad o2 sensor, and are the sensors fragile cause the dent is fairly big, maybe broke some internals in the sensor??
