    Engine Turn Ac On, Rpms Drop 400 And Car Stalls. Solved!

    It blows cold if you keep your foot on the gas to keep RPMs up, but otherwise with AC on the rpms drop to around 400 and of course the volt gauge plummets. I tested with no AC on, but blower on full and do not have this problem. Even the electric fan I have that kicks on doesn't cause this...

    Engine Using Coolant Yet No Smoke, Steam Or Leaks?????

    I am completely stumped. I have a new 3-core aluminum radiator. A Flex-a-Lite fan, new performance thermostat housing, new stat, good water pump, all new hoses and my car is using coolant.; a lot. It's not over heating but it but it obviously gets a lot warmer once the LOW COOLANT light trips...

    Is there no upgraded convertible top out there?

    I'm really tired of the poorly mounted stock style rear glass. It's designed to fail after 2-years I swear. They just lay the glass on a thin strip of plastic with glue on ONE side? THAT'S IT?? UGH. I want to find a top where the rear window has a gasket around it, sealed nicely, and even...

    Anyone deal with Corbeau seat in our cars?

    Anyone know if the Corbeau seats (wide version) fit in our cars? I know they make seat brackets for 79-98 for their seats. Just wondering about the fit for the actual seat. I also know Mustang 94+ seats sit about an inch higher in our cars and can be unpleasent. Corbeau sells seats with a...

    Potential business? Seats?

    I can't find rebuilt factory FOX seats anywhere. On Ebay I've seen there's a guy rebuilding the power seat tracks, but no one is selling FOX seats. Why? There are a lot of years those seats could fill. I'm a customer looking and no one is offering. This is baffling.

    I love those little moments...

    I swapped all my switches and everything started working; windows and locks. Well, all but my drivers rear window. Off to bed I went knowing I'd had to rip that apart to swap the motor. Up the next day and off to work, drop the top, drop the windows.....HELLO...the drivers rear happily obeys...

    Electrical swapped clusters, fuel gauge sporadic.

    Is it possible the anti slosh module in the replacement cluster is wacky? I knew I should've swapped mine in to it before putting it all back together. Grrrr. I can't think of any other reason. Unless it's from jacking the front end way up to replace the starter some how messed with the float...

    Brakes Is it really $700 to convert the rears to disc???

    Was looking online for kits for my 1993 and they are all $700+. That DOESN'T include a larger master cyn which I assume is needed to run discs at all four corners???

    What is it about the '94 front seats that won't work with '93?

    Are we talking frame rails to the floor or plugs? Plugs I can cut and splice. Seat rails can be adapted. Just wanted a heads-up if any one knew what to expect. Thanks.

    Engine Motors cuts out around 3.5-4k as she warms up.

    So I have this issue where the motor cuts-out much like a rev limiter kicking in around 3.5 to 4k. It's closer to 3k as she warms up. I've verified the TACH is correct. Ideas?

    Electrical Unused Fused causing intermittent drain?

    Got out my test light tonight and found some answers! (1993 Mustang GT Convertible) I have two fuses that are pulling quite a load. Illuminates the light nice and bright. HOWEVER.... With both of those pulled (highlighted in red) I would get the light to come on for about 2-seconds, then...

    Wheels-Tires Despite logic and reason, I put 17x9s on my FOX.

    My question is, being that the car is in SOCAL and it rarely rains and I don't drive through mud and snow, if I remove the inner plastic wheel housings will that be a complete FAIL eventually? Mucking up everything? Or with regular cleaning of the engine bay, should it be okay? I have no idea...

    Drivetrain Where To Find Locking Ring That Goes Over Manual Shifter Base?

    On short throw shifters, Hurst specifically but common in many, there's a little round black "puck" that slides over the installed shifter and rest on the base under the boot. You use set-screws to lock the entire shifter to its installed assembly. Otherwise you could pop the shifter up in the...

    Drivetrain Centerforce And Ford Racing Wc Rebuild Post-mortem.

    Well I've now put 450 miles on the rebuild. Results? Happy. A lot happy. The first stab at fixing my 2007 V6s T5 woes involved a SPEC Stage 1 clutch and resurfacing/cutting the stock flywheel along with new ToB, slave, fluids. This did nothing to fix the sticky/notchy gears of the T5. (of...

    Drivetrain Hurst/b&m/ford Racing Shifter For Early V6s!

    It has been quite a challenge in finding a classic, complete, short-throw Hurst shifter for the V6. Steeda makes this billet stick thing, but it's not a complete shifter replacement. I wanted that snicky-snick the Hurst had. Plus it looks all kinds of badass. Then I find out Hurst goes under...

    Cruise control won't turn on after clutch swap?

    So I want to arm myself with some knowledge before I take my car BACK to the shop that did my full clutch swap. Is this something they forgot to plug back in? Or is it an adjustment to the clutch position sensor? My CC will not turn on; dead-as-dead. I've also noticed *sometimes* the car...

    AC pulley should spin freely even with clutch disengaged right?

    Shouldn't our AC pulley be spinning even if idle? I ask because the car tends to be a bit rough at idle AND my radiator overflow popped even though the weather and car weren't apparently hot. (didn't know until weeks later) Now I am hearing squeaking (weeks later) This makes me think the belt is...

    Do all the cars have TPMS?

    I have a 2007 Pony Package with the 17s. Does it have TPMS? Thanks.

    Can I just drop a GT rear-end in my V6?

    I was looking into an LSD and gear and after adding it all up I'm not too far from just going with a full take-off 8.8 rear end. Will it just bolt in to place, connect to the driveshaft?
