    Gas Overflowing Through Gas Cap On Hot Days

    My car has ran rich since i got it. There's a heavy gas smell every time i drive it and because it's parked in my garage, the fumes are overpowering. Can this be caused by a clogged charcoal canister?

    Gas Overflowing Through Gas Cap On Hot Days

    Why is it that no matter how full my gas tank is on my 91 mustang, gas always leaks out through the gas cap when driving for more than 20 minutes in 100°+ weather. It's quite a bit too. When i open the gas tank door the entire section around the cap (couple inches deep) is flooded with gas as...

    What is the purpose of the upgrade? Does a quarter of an inch make that much of a difference?

    91 Exhaust System

    I had an exhaust pipe break about 2 feet in front of a muffler due to rust. When I looked under the car, that 2 foot pipe (coming out of the muffler) is dangling towards the engine just waiting to catch something causing it to do a "pole vault" action and can cause big damage, possibly to my gas...

    Cats Not Changing Colors Driver Side

    ok... codes ran and only one came up... #21. Can this code happen due to using after a market temperature gauge and a bigger sending unit that came with the gauge? or is my cooling temp sensor need to be replaced? So now that the codes don't reflect my initial concerns, any ideas?

I had new cats and flowmaster muffler installed thinking it was a blockage, time will tell as I have to wait for summer again (Hot months). But I noticed the area between my drivers seat and consul was...

    Temp Gage Reading For 91 Fox

    I've had the coolant changed flushed twice. Once when I upgraded the radiator, and again just a couple weeks ago to ensure everything was out. It was purged both times during the burping process. I've replaced the thermostat 3 times now and still no improvements. The cap was just changed out a...

    Can somebody PLEASE tell me what their 1991 stang runs at with regards to the temp gage. I've been dealing with overheating issues since I bought this car several years ago and have just recently got aggressive in attacking this problem. When looking at the gage you'll see the word "NORMAL"...

    Muffler And Cat Upgrade

    Thanks for the info jrichker. You said "Use them on an 86-95 Mustang and you will slowly kill them with the pollutants that they are not designed to deal with." Does that mean go cat free? Not sure what you are getting at here. :(

    Muffler And Cat Upgrade

    Currently my 91 gt stang has it's original cats and muffler. Tomorrow I'm looking to upgrade with flowmaster 40 series and Magnaflow cats. It currently has the H-Pipe. My question is... can I get away with only using 2 cats rather than the 4 that's on there? Will it screw with 02 censors and...

    91 Mustang Gets Squirrelly After 50mph

    What can I do to have complete control over my Car at higher speeds. I'm not liking the fact that if I have to jerk the steering wheel to avoid something in the road I about lose control of the car. It gets real squirrelly. Another thing... when I'm in the dirt doing donuts the car makes a loud...

    Under Hood Insulator

    Fans are kicking on ok and the Water pump is new. Timing light was put on it today and the timing is within parameters. I just had "Firestone" do a complete tune-up so I'm now running with new plugs, wires, and rotor. As far as the "Running lean" comment... I think it does. When you pop the hood...

    Under Hood Insulator

    Something else that I forgot to mention is... the fenders are also getting getting very hot and can't be touched for very long. This is when I have the car running in the garage. So, can a clogged cat cause this. I have 4 cats. If so, how do I test for a clogged cat?
