    96 Cobra Gauge Problems!!

    Big problems with the gauges! Temperature and alternator gauge peg on hot and 18 when I first turn on the key. Speedometer jumps to 20 mph and the tach goes to 2000 rpm too. This is before the car is even started. Fuel gauge seems normal as does oil pressure but the odometer does not work. Any...

    My spit & sputtering problem?????

    Been there1 I had the same problem and it was the DIS module. With my T-5 swap I pulled codes for the 3-4 shift solenoid and the torque converter lockup problem. Check engine light was intermittant. I got a DIS from a PicknPull for $5 and all was well...until my fuel pump gave out! But...

    not a mustang but its turbo

    Me too! I just got a 91 XR-2 myself. It smoked like a wild fire but have narrowed it down to bad seals in the turbo. Have 2 more projects ahead of it but I could not pass up the price. Hint: I found a receipt for a set of new tires and they have 70 miles on them... I paid $200 less than the...

    Need advice on '90 4cyl vert price

    Counteroffer That is nearly identical to my 91 vert 5 speed. Right down to needing a top. My AC is not working right now, but I am asking 1500. I know distance is a factor (I'm in East Texas) but just my opinion. 2600 might be a good price with a new top...use it as a bargaining tool. Bruce

    computer numbers??

    Will do! Temp sender is first on the list. My gauge even reads low. Earlier I had a small leak in the radiator and had a good 2 row from a 5.0 lying around so I used it. Heater works fine so I know it is warming up properly. Bruce

    computer numbers??

    Thanks Actually the light was on before I did the swap. The tranny had lost all OD function but still had 1-2-3 if I put it in drive (not OD). Popping is through the exhaust. Tuesday is the garage day for this car and I am getting my plan down tommorrow. Vacuum lines are fine as this was...

    computer numbers??

    tried.. I did run the KOER test but got no results. It was a while back but it would not read. When I start the car the check engine light comes on after about 30 seconds. Does this idleing, or driving so I cannot think it is the solenoid problem lighting the light. Has been running much...

    computer numbers??

    My plan. Primarily I wish to read codes. Reading codes, I cannot get past the key-off codes that relate to shift solenoid malfunctions. The car does have some running problems that I could thrash around at until I stumble on the correct problem, but I wish to start with a better...

    parts from 88TC?

    Thanks! What is special about the front brakes and such? Seats are now in a 91 Mustang vert, wiring stuff is due for removal, turbo and manifold were parted off before I got the car. Doors are good but will not stay due to storage concerns. VAM and wires are safe. Got everything vauum...

    parts from 88TC?

    Local powers that be have decided that my 88Turbocoupe is a threat to public welfare and must go. I did buy it just for parts and and have taken most off. Engine, tranny, computer (LB2), rearend are all safely removed and stored, so my question is this.... What other small parts do I need to...
