    HVAC vent problem

    I've only replaced one on a 95 v6, and it was located at the top of the engine bay, running alongside the firewall. It should not be buried at the front or down low on the sides. If I recall correctly it was a 3/8" tube at the ends connected by hard plastic in between. The plastic is what...

    Stripped lug nut bolt

    If it is striped it won't matter if you tighten it more, you'll just strip it further. But if its striped anyway, I'd go ahead and tighten it to drive it to a shop to replace the stud. You can replace it yourself if you can press the stud in place, but a decent shop could do this in a few...

    HVAC vent problem

    There is no "cable" which controls this. It is a vacum line, so check for a small vaccum line that is broken or disconnected under the hood. If broken, a new hose from an auto store will only be a few bucks. The reason it is stuck on defrost is by design, so that if this hose breaks you can...

    Cobra bumper on GT

    No....just the opposite. GT hood and 03 Cobra bumper is a tight fit and might require the new holes for the bumper (mine fit tight, but still worked like bigoragnegt said, without the new mounting holes). You get the gap when you use the GT bumper with a 03 Cobra hood.

    Radar detectors

    I used these instruction to hard wire my V1. Skip the steps for the remote display if you don't have one. Install was pretty easy......took about 30 minutes being pretty careful. Edit - if you don't have a V1 you will need to figure out the electrical attachments on your own (not too...

    How to make RPMs drop faster

    You can do this mod to an auto, but won't notice it as much. You'd mainly notice a difference at start up or when reving it in neutral/park. Not a whole not of difference when it shifts, maybe a little more when coasting down to idle.

    Trunk Hit.....Wing/Spoiler Options

    After searching for "wingless" I'm tending to lean that way (plus it saves repair costs which I can pocket/spend otherwise :D ). Also, I'd just order the V6 trunklid and save my stock wing as it isn't damaged that bad, so I could always remount it later if I want or if and when the car is ever...

    Trunk Hit.....Wing/Spoiler Options

    I'm looking for something a little more subtle.....but a good looking wing nonetheless.

    Trunk Hit.....Wing/Spoiler Options

    If you fill in the letters on the bumper, is there any concern about the life of this mod? Is there a possibility of the fill-in "popping off" or not look so good after a few years?

    Trunk Hit.....Wing/Spoiler Options

    I had a semi back into my trunk, which cracked and scraped the trunk lid, broke the corner and center tail light, and scraped the bumper and wing. I don't plan to do anything different on the bumper as it is just scrathed can be fixed easily (and I'm not a fan of having it say Cobra or Saleen...

    03 cobra hood + gt bumper

    The GT bumper and 03/04 Cobra hood combo leaves a nasty gap between them; The 03/04 Cobra bumper and GT hood combo is a tight fit, and recommend what TL1000S says. Looks :nice:

    Howling at Idle

    After playing around a little more last night it seems the noise is coming from the IAC as the howl would still be present even without a filter on (just a little less volume). I guess the noise was just traveling down the air tube and out the filter box. My guess was the IAC was just getting...

    Howling at Idle

    Now that it got really cold here, I was able to get the howl to happen with my head under the hood. The noise is coming from the air box. It only happens at idle, typically when a decent load is on the engine and in gear (if shift out of drive it stops, or if you turn off the air compressor)...

    Whirring sound from IAC?

    Did the new IAC fix the problem? I am having a howling noise as well and almost replaced the IAC, but when I got it to howl with the hood up the noise is definately coming from the air box. I have another thread on this but wanted to know how yours came out.

    4R70W slipping?

    Mine was doing the same thing. When I had the fluid changed there was metal in the pan. When I went to Ford, all I really had to say was "Overdrive" and "shudders when hot". They looked at it and no questions asked had it rebuilt (mainly overdrive band and new torque converter)as well as gave...

    Hit a coyote last night.. pics.

    For what you stated that cost sounds about right. When I had to replace my front bumper I just took the check from the insurance company and took the car to a shop that was willing to work with me on getting an 03 Cobra bumper on it. From what I found the Cobra bumper should not by any more $...

    Howling at Idle

    Anyone?

    Howling at Idle

    Since it started getting cold here, sometimes, but not always, I get a howl when the engine comes to idle speed. It goes away when I tap the gas. Thus, I assume the noise is part of the idle air system. I had thought that the black box before the IAC was to help eliminate this noise. What...

    Laying Rubber

    The rear-end does not "lock" each side together. Power is transferred from the right to the left by a fluid/clutch, similar in principle to a torque converter. Thus, if the right breaks free and starts to spin too fast the left side may not "catch up" and also break free, leaving only one...

    Anyone with a Coupe have visor lights on there mirror?

    I have a 00 coupe. I memory serves me correctly it was an option that year, and about a $95 option at that.
