Hey. I sent a reply on Monday, I think it was--pics attached. edit: I just resent it. Let me know if it doesn't come through. The attachment is only about 1MB

hey, i was just about to put my '91 hatch up for sale. i'm in romeoville. it's a pretty solid car (with a working ashtray door! :D ), just need to get rid of it--too many cars in the household as it is. feel free to pm or email me if you're interested. that's it in my avatar. i can dig...

Ok, I was just out checking some more stuff: The compression is about an even 160 across all cylinders. The timing belt is lined up. The vacuum stutters from 0 to about 5 (that doesn't seem right) The engine still just putters and eventually just dies. Any ideas on what I should be...

nope, check engine light is not on. I forgot to mention, though, that i did pull codes the other day and came up with 52 and 84. One is EGR-related (don't have my manual in front of me) and the other is power steering pressure switch open, iirc. I don't think either one is new (i know the...

Loss of power -- Help! Hi everyone, I'm having some problems with the '89. About a week ago, the engine lost a lot of power, struggled to stay at 55 on the highway. It didn't seem to miss, there just wasn't anything there when I would push down the gas. I changed the fuel filter...

umm...i don't know about that. Just make sure you get the right size tire. If you look on your door jamb, there should be a sticker with a listing of different tire sizes that the stangs came with stock. Look at the one for 15". Oh, and go to a different mechanic next time :)

Be careful with the TC front sway bar. I think the diameter is the same as the Mustang GT's but the one I got was too wide and rubbed on the struts. This was on an 89 2.3 vert and the sway bar was from an 88 TC. I'm not sure if this makes any difference. The rear couldn't be any easier...

Alright, I've done a *lot* of searching and I think I figured it out. Please tell me if I'm wrong with anything here.... Set the cam pulley mark with the center mark on the plastic marker (like I have it in the pic). Also, set the notch in the crank pulley to TDC on the timing cover. And...

i just ran across this link in the tech articles while trying to find some info on doing a timing belt... http://www.angelfire.com/wa3/fastest4d/faq.html

I think the LB2/LB3 were from auto TCs, not the LA-series comps.

haha...first thing I thought when I looked at that is "wow, those are some wide rims!" :rlaugh: :nonono: they look pretty sweet though. nice notch :nice:

I have a screw in the armrest too :shrug: By the way, I saw replacement clips at my local Ace Hardware last time I was there. They didn't have many left, but I think they were pretty cheap.

Okay, the '91 has been sluggish on the low end but great on the top end. I think I've checked all the sensors and so far so good. I pulled the timing cover off yesterday to take a look, and I *think* the timing belt is off, but the problem is that I'm not sure what I have to line up. The...

from what i understand, turbo engines love the nawzzzz. it'll help cool the intake air down after it's all heated up from the turbo

fyi, the 87-88 TCs have a hydraulic clutch. You could use this or get regular 2.3 stuff for the clutch assembly (I don't know what's all interchangeable between the two setups) edit: one way to quickly check a turbo is to wiggle the shaft around. you want as little play/wiggle as possible...

I didn't see it anywhere, but is admission free?

I can come pick up the manuals and code scanner this weekend if you still have them. Heck, I can take everything off your hands if nobody else wants them--never hurts to have spare parts, right?! let me know where you're at. PM or email me edit: by the way, what is a ford v8 garage...

#727 here. The other guy has 666 :shock: so are you taking us all out for a pizza party if you win? :nice:

I used to build a lot of models. I still have a C5 laying around that I never started. By the way, I have seen a few fox bodies. There's a kit I used to see at walmart that had 3 different stangs in there.

i bought one of those for my dad for xmas. he's 60 years old and loves it! :nice:
