    2.3l non turbo questions

    that does sound like mine, I am all in all pleased with mine as it is deffinitly better on gas than my F-150 which gets 12 at best. i do find the Mustang fun, it seems to really get into the power when it hits 3000rpm

    2.3l non turbo questions

    okay, roughly 65000 miles on rebuilt engine, no idea on the o2 sensor, but keep in mind, it uses no oil, no codes, checked by ford, and when it was smogged it came in as clean as possible, so if the O2 sensor was off one would expect higher hydrocarbon levels.

    2.3l non turbo questions

    Okay, I have had a few tanks of gas through the thing, and keep in mind it does run good, it passed smog with flying colors, under 20 hydrocarbons when it was allowed over 100. Anyway two problems, I am only getting like 20 miles to the gallon, WTF? Second the temp guage only marks slightly...

    couple'a questions

    On the wheel questio, the simple answer is it depends on what size tire you will run. I went from the stock 14 inch wheels to 17 inch wheels but kept the stock diameter tire this way the ratio did not change, I just have rubber with a lower profile, and better handling. If you check the specs...

    parts?

    is there any outfit that is selling reproduction parts for a 89lx yet, such as National depot? I need a few things like new door panels, and I really do not want to buy used ones and recover, and my drivers side is relly shot.

    Wheels for 88 LX4.3

    got the wheels and tires, they look great, I will try and get picturessoon. The only thing is the wheels are 9 inches wide, which is slightly too wide for a 235, it looks okay, but a 8.5 inch wheel would have been better. A wider tire such as a 245 would have looked better but that would have...

    dumb question

    Finally picked up my Mustang, but I cannot find the release for the gas cover, I will not get into the status of the interior panels. Where should the release be? Second, the 2.3L has new plugs and wires, but sputters a bit off idle, gets smooth with higher RPMs. Any ideas? Last, where...
