    spark plug change without tsb

    I changed mine at 55k. miles, following the tsb and had no problems. It did sound like a tap, cutting threads coming out but they were fine. I hope this helps! Michael

    Greasing suspension

    Hey LFR. you can get a grease gun and synthetic grease at any Auto Parts Store. I just did the same and got the Lucas grease, it was about $4 and the gun was only $12 I think. Also make sure you get one with a flexible hose to get into those tight areas. (That sounds bad:)

    Remove wax from plastic bits?

    I'm pretty anal when I wax my car. I tape of the black trim to keep the wax off. I tape one side, apply wax and then use the tape on the opposite side. However if you get it on the trim, WD-40 will take it off. I have tried other cleaners but WD-40 is the s**t!

    Key is stuck in the ignition. Ack!

    Is there an emergency release for the automatics? I think I remember reading something about it. Have you looked in your owners manual? Did you try going back in to neutral a few times?

If my car is on a slight incline and in first gear, when you push in on the clutch the car will not move. then if the gear shift lever is moved (semi forcefully) into neutral you can hear a pop as the transmission releases pressure from the...

    Had my finger amputated cant work

    Sorry to hear about your loss. I have amputated two finger tips (both ring fingers) over the years and there is nothing I cannot do. You will more or less get used to it. The sensitivity will decrease with time and you'll be fine!

    anyone with pbrake freezing or getting stuck when cold

    The new one is a much more sturdy looking piece. The problem I noticed with the old cable was the rubber boot where it attaches to the rear caliper was completely dry rotted, and would let water get in and freeze. They also turned the passenger rotor and replaced the brake pads.

    Battery keeps dieing! Help! - 95 GT -

    I remember on a Fox, I had that problem and it was caused by the Vanity mirror light staying on due to a broken visor. I know it sounds wierd but it was the culprit!

    Anyone with 255/50/17 tires?

    Rock, I could not have said it better myself. That is an excellent description of their performance. I don't really race my car other than a few passes down the 1/4 mile. That is interesting about the 555's in the 255/50/17, definately a better performance tire but with a disadvantage in...

    Anyone with 255/50/17 tires?

    I'm aware of that, but why the caution? They are a speed rated tire and they did fine in the Summer.:shrug:

    Anyone with 255/50/17 tires?

    Jeff, I have 255/50/17 Nitto 450's on the "Concept Wheels" and they fit fine and look much better than stock. They are not on my car right now because I have an extra set of wheels (Bullitts) for winter driving. I can snap a picture of them this Weekend with them off of the car if you would like.

    Antifreeze smell while driving along w/smoke out of AC vents?

    Sounds like your Heater Core is going out! I replaced one in my fox and it was a pain. You can bypass your heater core until you can repair it. Don't try stop leak.

    Steering Shake

    I have been told that SOMETIMES if you balance the wheels and put the weights on only the inside of the wheel and not on both sides it COULD cause a shimmy. I had asked about just putting the weights on the inside of the wheel and was told this. I would like to think that if you used the stick...

    Help my car won't start!

    Just wondering how lucky you might have been? If the Boost a Pump went out during boost or a nitrous hit, that could have been ugly!
