Anybody know how to get one of these things out? I know there is a little pin that one is supposed to press inwards and then they should slide right out of the housing, but my cylinder is stuck in the off position (you can only press in the pin after you've turn the key to the run position--for...

As the title says, I stripped that cone-headed torx bolt that holds on our static idler pulleys. I believe I was using the correct sized torx socket (t-50, IIRC) but even so, that thing stripped faster than a $20 call girl. Anybody else been down this road? I just drenched the...

I've been trying to diagnose a squeak coming from my belt area for the last week--it sounded as if it was coming from the tensioner/tensioner pulley so I replaced the pulley but to no avail. It still squeaks at idle and at low speeds. While checking to see if all the pulleys were aligned...

Ok, so after writing a beautifully detailed grocery list, I hopped into the car to head to the store. When I turned the key, the motor cranked but wouldn't start. I tested the battery and it's fully charged, so I started looking suspiciously at the fuel system. I hopped back in the car and...

I hopped in my car today ready to leave campus. As I pressed my clutch pedal down to start the car I hear somewhat of a pop and the clutch pedal loses all resistance. It takes a mere breeze to push the pedal to the floor now and the clutch obviously isn't engaging. The pedal still returns to...

Welp, The other day, a passenger informed me that my door lock switch and window up/down switch were both not functioning on the passenger door. I checked the driver side switches and the door lock switch worked fine but the passenger window switch didn't work on my side either. I tour the...

Hey, errbody. My dad informed me today that his mustang won't start. I went and gave it a crank and all I heard was a clicking noise. Also, when you turn the key to the "run" position, the radio doesn't turn on. Here's the thing, the battery is new and so is the alternator. I'm assuming...

...or something like that. I was told that if you red-line a challenger, the engine drops down to 3500 rpms. Is this true? Why the heck would it do that? Annnybody know? Seems like it would only do that in a manual maybe, idk, the challenger in question is an automatic sooo, yeah idk...

Hey guys, I'm sorry to have these codes posted in another thread on StangNet, I'm usually not one to double post but because I am about to take a 3 hour car trip, its urgent I get some feedback from you guys ASAP: These are the codes that I pulled: Code 565 - "Canister purge circuit...

Howdy everyone.... So, yesterday I was cruising across Texas down I-10 (going about 80 mph) and without any notice, or at least none that I could recognize with the music cranked so loud, my car dies. I tried to start the car while I'm still coasting and apparently that doesn't work so I...

Alright, StangNeters I write to you with hopes of elucidation! A friend of mine shot me a text the other day asking what year Mustangs began including LSD's--the differentials not the hallucinogens. I told him that I'm pretty sure Ford refers to this as Trac-Loc and that I'm not really sure...

I was wondering if any of you would be able to get a carfax history report for my mustang. No particular reason, i'm just curious. I checked out carfax.com and found that one history report is 30 dollars, but unlimited reports would cost 40. Soooo, anybody here have the unlimited reports and...

Ok... my dad noticed my windows have both failed in the last month so as a birthday gift he went to a junk yard and grabbed some window motors. The sentiment was generous however I'm not sure that its the motors as much as the bushings...oh well, i have two more perfectly good motors now...

Ok, so about a year and a half ago I dropped the car off at a mustang specialsts' place called "slater's automotive". I had someone, i suppose slater, put in a rebuilt t5 in and swap it out with the old t5 I had (which had worn out synchros and no 2nd gear):notnice: Now about 17 months...

I just painted my dash clock and have a few pictures to illustrate what could be a write-up tutorial for anyone who would be interested. The reason I offer is because out of all the interior parts to paint the dash clock was probably the most difficult. Its not a situation where masking tape...

So, my buddy and I took the 'vette out :-) We didn't get the greatest footage but it was still a fun ride and a beautiful day. Check it out: (video link removed) http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/will4fang/?action=view&current=VetteTahoe011.jpg...

So, I have an extra dash clock lying around and have an interesting idea. What if i removed the clock computer and fabb'ed in the front screen of a radar detector to replace the clock? There is plenty of room under the clock (its pretty much a hollow area i think) but I might have to angle...

Ok, a few weeks ago I noticed my Low Coolant was illuminated. A few days later I got the oil changed and had them top off the coolant. Well, its only been two weeks and the low coolant light is back on :notnice: My first thought was a leaky head gasket; this is because, if I remember...

Ok, I finally got my fog lights working and boy do they add sex appeal! I remember Hissin mentioning that the LED on his fog light switch burnt out and he had to replace it. I have suffered a similar fate but I'm having trouble removing the LED. I can't figure out how to get it out! I pried...

Ok, so I forked out 750 bucks to have a new compressor, drier/accumulator...etc thrown into the car for my Air Conditioning to work. I was very happy the morning i picked it up to find cold air blowing out of my vents. Heres the problem: Lately when I turn on my AC, no matter what setting I...
