    Pinging, Lack Of Power, And Fuel All Over Back Of Car?

    This is so strange. The oil spots are even on the plastic fuel tank cover. I don't have a way to do a compression test... and I don't really trust any dealership. I don't mind getting into it, I just can't right now cause of my Bronco. Do you think it's a bad idea to continue to drive the...

    Pinging, Lack Of Power, And Fuel All Over Back Of Car?

    Fwiw, I know I have a rear main seal leak, I just don't have time to do it right now (I bought a Bronco to drive for winter that I'm trying to get up an running). My mustang is my DD. could that somehow cause oil to up in the exhaust?

    Pinging, Lack Of Power, And Fuel All Over Back Of Car?

    Well, I picked up a can of MAF Cleaner and cleaned my MAF, but before re-installing it I decided to pull out the #1 spark plug... That's oil on the threads. Here's a pic of the back of my car. What I thought was gas may be oil??

    Pinging, Lack Of Power, And Fuel All Over Back Of Car?

    I'd love to pull codes...been contemplating picking up a decent OBD-1/OBD-2 scanner, but I'm having a hard time justifying $200 or so right now - especially if I did end up needing to spend decent money on whatever is wrong. I have not checked the plugs, I guess that's not a bad idea. I...

    Pinging, Lack Of Power, And Fuel All Over Back Of Car?

    I did replace the filler grommet. I always run 93, usually from Shell, and even ran a bottle of Techron through it. I will check the timing, but it's bone stock so I don't see how it could've changed suddenly. Plugs were gapped. Maybe I'll try some of that MAF Cleaner they sell at Autozone, but...

    Pinging, Lack Of Power, And Fuel All Over Back Of Car?

    I noticed my car started pinging a few weeks ago. It lacked power occasionally, sometimes would stall when I'd first start it, and eventually got so bad the car would die at stop lights. I also noticed one day what looked like spots of gasoline all over the back of the car. Like from the bumper...

    Can't remove front bumper cover?

    Wow thank you so much! I think I probably would've ended up breaking something via the brute force method. I just couldn't figure out how the old one practically fell right off and this one was stuck on so good. Thanks again, I really appreciate the help!

    Can't remove front bumper cover?

    Okay, I realize this sounds like a stupid question, but here' my deal. I just got a new Cobra bumper and before having it painted, I figured it'd be a good idea to test fit it. So I did. It fit nicely, and all I did was just drop two bolts through the top holes (which are ultimately riveted)...

Includes...

    Swapping a V8 into a 4cyl, but title shows v8?

    That is a sweet looking notch! Yeah I am pretty excited. I found a nice 96 GT donor car so it should be FAIRLY straightforward, but yeah isn't everything?.... Well, here's hoping in a month or two... :shrug:

    Swapping a V8 into a 4cyl, but title shows v8?

    Thanks for the advice. Actually, that's exactly what I plan to do. I picked up a nice 96 4.6 drivetrain that I plan on swapping over to the 93 coupe. The plan is to keep it stock, right down to the air box, so if someone didn't know any better they'd think it came with a 4.6. The body is in...

    Swapping a V8 into a 4cyl, but title shows v8?

    Cool thanks for the input. Yeah I wasn't gonna try to be dishonest or anything, but I just figured that since I will be making it a V8 anyway, it's kind of convenient that the title already says that.

    Swapping a V8 into a 4cyl, but title shows v8?

    I just bought a nice 4 cylinder coupe that I plan to swap a V8 into, but I noticed on the title, plain as day it says "Model 'MLX' CYL. 8" However, if I enter the VIN into Carfax or Autocheck (without paying it gives you a few details) it does show it as a 2.3L 4 cylinder. So my question, or...

    RPMs at idle?

    First of all, when did your trouble begin? Did this happen all of a sudden? To set your idle, use this link http://www.stangtuning.com/showthread.php?t=1430 Besides following the instructions in that post, I think you could also benefit from some more timing. At least 14-16* I would think...

    A9L Conversion

    Okay you said not to say Tweecer so I won't. PMS (www.andersonfordmotorsport.com) That's all you need dude. You can get it for around $800, so just a bit more than an A9L conversion, and it doesn't have the learning curve that the Tweecer does. www.stangtuning.com has tons of help if you...

    Manual steering vs Power steering

    thanks guys. I guess I'm thinking I will stick with the power steering. It just seems like the goods outweigh the bads. I would like the steering to be a little tighter and get more road feel, but going to a smaller steering wheel will probably make it feel a little better. I wish it felt...

    Manual steering vs Power steering

    My 94's steering is getting loose, and I'm faced with the decision to either fix it like it is, or go to a manual rack. Right now the car is primarily an occasional street car (not my daily driver) that I plan on road racing next summer. My first thought is that with manual steering, road...

    OT: 2006 Z06 Pics

    1. Why would I not get my hopes up? 2. The Lightning was "delayed" because of the new F-150 platform, same reason the next gen Mustang Cobra was delayed. 3. When I say Cobra or Shelby, I mean that as Mustang Cobra or Shelby Mustang, not Cobra Cobra like as in the v10 concept. 4. Notice the "s...
