I had a problem where my FPR vacuum was unhooked but resolved that. I may have other issues like the lines on the vacuum canister seemed like they are not the best of shape. The reason I didn't replace them is because they the smell seems to come from the fuel rail area hence me thinking the...

I'm all of a sudden getting a strong fuel smell. When you coding your base tune do you ever get a strong fuel smell in the cabin? Not sure if my tune is really rich or I have some sort of fuel leak. basically...is it the tune or mechanical failure.

Vacuum I may have messed up my vacuum connections. I have a black hose coming off of the FPR that is going into the EGR. I'm guessing this goes to the intake bend. There are are green and a red. in that bend now. My guess is the green goes to the egr?

I'm getting a really strong fuel smell inside my car. When I open the hood I smell it to. It's really strong in the cabin of the car. I looked under the hood to see I saw any standing fuel but didn't see anything. The car isn't missing or anything. What might be the most likely culprit and where...

I'm having a weird problem where my stereo will turn on for a minute but I can't change the volume and then all displays on the unit disappear. I can tell it has power. This is a Pioneer Premier with 2 displays and it will close when the key is off. It will just stay open. At the same time my...

I tried turning the engine with my flex bar and I saw the distributor move. I tightened down the hold down bolt and she started right up. She is bucking badly. I'm not sure if the problem is the timing is now off or I have the tune set on the wrong selection (TwEECer). I did a compression test...

Hi All, Just got my stang woke up from her winter sleep. I drove her to work and then I got a check engine light. When I tried to leave she sorta started, sputtered and died. I don't really hear the normal exhaust tone like it's either missing really bad or no spark at all. I pulled...

I'm having a problem like this. Right before I had this problem MY car though a code. I pulled it. 116 which means the ECT of out of range. ECT adjusts timing based on coolant temp. This may be your problem.

Do you guys know what thread and size this bolt is so I can pick one up at the hardware store? Otherwise it's a jegs/resto purchase..the Effing shipping costs more then the part..LOL Maybe I'll just by some more stuff she needs. I do have a lifter/valve noise coming from my engine that should...

Yep Dumbo left it unpugged...LOL It's plugged in and she runs better. Now I'm getting a check engine light on right about the time when she gets to operating temp. what's the procedure for the engine on code test? I have a OBD1 code reader without the manual...LOL This kinda seems like I...

Ima tard... Wrong code...I thought I memorized it but my mind does not possess the force..LOL Anyway, it's code 122 which is: Throttle Position Sensor circuit Low Input. What causes this...dirty sensor? It was sitting out for a while so it could get dirty.. Thanks guys, Tom

Thanks for the reply guys...Much appreciated! I take it that the IAC is this thing: Intake Air Temperature sensor 94 mustang | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Looks pretty dusty may be the problem... I'll keep ya updated.

My stang threw a code of 112 on the key on engine off test.. I looked it up on this site and the description was: Intake Air Temperature circuit Low Input. Is this a MASS air flow sensor dirty maybe?? Thanks, Tom

My car has been sitting for over a year and I've just replaced the intake gaskets. When I tried to start it, she only turned over a second... then pauses and then turns over another second. I've hoping part of a low charge on a battery so I'm charging all nite... Do I need to try adding some...

Thanks for your input kurt!

Hey all, I've got the manafold off the car and took a few pics. If it's a intake leak should it be obvious now?? Here are a few pics. Intake Pics

So, Is is possible for a leaky lower intake gasket to suck coolant into the engine? Pardon my ignorace and thanks for your reply. Thanks in advance.

Last summer my car started smoking out of the exhaust and I figured it was the head gasket. I finally started tearing her down and found oil on my upper intake spacer and gaskets....is this normal??? also found some residue on the center port on my upper intake. Do you know what this center...

sorry to say it but I lost my chilton repair manual. Since I have to get another one I'd might as well upgrade. what is the best repair manual? Helms? Factory? Since I'm not the most experienced with car mechanics, I need a good one. Thanks, Tom
