    Air Vents Randomly Lose Output

    Fix your vacuum leaks. Its as simple as that. The vents are defaulting to the floor or defrost positions when you loose engine vacuum, so you need to replace the faulty check valves, and repair or replace any cracked, disconnected, or broken vacuum lines or fittings.

    Airbox On A 89 N/a

    Ok, I would still pick one up from a junkyard. Running just a filter with no airbox means your engine is drawing in heated air instead of cold air. Hot air is less dense. Less dense means less power and less efficiency. It also means the engine will be more prone to knocking (bad) and more...

    Airbox On A 89 N/a

    Your car came with a cold air intake. There is no gain to be had by using an aftermarket intake unless you also do some serious mods to the engine to increase the flow through the head.

    Svo Distributor Timing

    You heard wrong. Firstly yes you need to set the cam timing. You set the crank at TDC, if you pull a string from the bolt on the crank to the bolt on the aux shaft, the timing mark should be on center. The same for the cam pulley, if you pull the string from the cam bolt to the aux shaft, the...

    Best High-po Tranny?

    I don't get this, a stock T5 will handle your power goals just fine. You just need a stronger than stock clutch and you are good.

    Airbox On A 89 N/a

    You would have a hot air intake, the engine will not run as well, fuel economy will decrease, performance will decrease.

    Engine Stuck At 3000 Rpm's

    High RPM usually means either the IAC motor is stuck wide open, or you have a massive vacuum leak. Or the throttle plate is stuck open. Check other things first, but if someone has turned the idle set screw all the way in, I don't know if it would go that high, but that could cause an...

    93 2.3 Na Mods

    Well, this is definitely going the wrong way. 1. A turbo computer is just an EEC-IV with a different tune. In your car, that computer is gonna be like (?). Its not going to work and it has no benefits. If you want a computer that will really get the job done, switch to a Megasquirt based...

    Fuel Pressure Problem?

    Sounds to me like you have a plugged filter, or a weak pump that can't keep up.

    Engine Svo Turbo Bad ?

    Extremely unlike that the gasket would have gotten in. That area is under pressure, so if any pieces broke free, they would have blown out, no possibility of getting sucked in. The issue you are having may very well be turbo failure, but I doubt its related to the gasket.

    1991 Dual Plug Head 2.3 - - Cant Find An Aftermarket Cam

    I honestly don't know why this is difficult. The cam is the same setup for all the 2.3L motors. The stock turbo motors and the other early 2.3L use a slider cam, the dual plug heads use a roller. Most of the aftermarket cams are made for the roller setup, and many of them can be ordered with...

    Anyone Ever Build A Turbo Set Up From Scratch?

    This really depends on the motor. If you have an older 4 plug head, then you have to modify the combustion chamber shape from its heart shape to more like a D shape like the turbo heads. Then you use the proper forged pistons. The rods may already be forged depending on the year, must '94 and...

    Any Speaker Upgrades For Premium Sound ?

    I have done a few sound upgrades on my Fords, heres the deal. Running 4 ohm speakers is not a problem, that is the standard. However, these systems are common ground on the speakers. You will get better sound response and clarity by running new heavier gauge wires to each speaker...

    Electrical Really Confused And Would Like A Little Help

    If it fits, sure. But again, even trying that is pointless. If your battery is dead, and you put another alternator on, you will end up with a dead battery and 2 damaged alternators. You need to make sure you are connecting to a good battery. You might want to consider pulling your old...

    Electrical Really Confused And Would Like A Little Help

    Moving forward without getting your battery tested is pointless, and if you keep trying to run a car with a dead battery, it will overheat and destroy your alternator. Go get the battery tested at your local auto parts store.

    89 6cyl Gas Problem

    If it won't run on starter fluid then either you have no compression (unlikely), or you are not getting spark. You gotta go to the basics and figure out what is missing. Spark, fuel, and compression. One is missing, you find out which and your problem will be solved. A yellow spark is the...
