    Engine Dies after a few minutes, won't restart.

    I've had trouble with my '91 LX 5.0 for some time. It started running very rich and progressed to the point where it barely ran. Think it was the computer, I took the car to a local shop owned by a guy that is into Fox bodies. He loaned me a spare computer he had, and it seemed to run fine. I...

    Electrical A9L repair service

    '91 5.0 began running poorly/missing etc. A friend with a shop had a known good A9L we swapped in and cured the problem. He needed his test unit back, so I bought a used A9L off eBay.

    4.0 oil leak

    Turns out there were two gaskets on the filter. The old filter was hard to get off and somehow he missed the fact that the gasket didn't come off with the old filter. I'm amazed it took a week for the thing to leak. Somehow it sprayed out just right to bounce off the block and make me think...

    That was my first thought when he called me as he had just changed the oil the week before. The filter is tight thought and the leak appears to be coming from clser to the front of the block.
