    95' Cobra Intermittent Airbag Code 34

    A Google search for "ford airbag code 34" came up with a lot of other forum links, and many of them point to the clockspring as the cause. In general, low resistance implies a short in the driver's airbag wiring and a failing clockspring can definitely cause that. However, throwing parts at a...

    Nice Sn95. 100k miles. Heirloom. Garage kept. We need some help

    I would start by checking the computer for codes. The code that lights your check engine light (CEL) should still be stored in the computer when the CEL light goes out. That will give you a starting point for diagnosis. Report back here what codes you got, and you'll be able to get further...

    Paint and Body Chythar's 94 Cobra Clone Paint thread

    It's been a while. Went through a forced move where I had to throw out a lot of stuff and reestablish myself. I expected things to suck for a while, but they haven't actually. I'm working for a Ford dealership now, so I'm surrounded by car guys, and I live closer to my good friends who are...

    95 GT Issues and Codes - 158, 172, 176, 212

    Code 212 is usually the hall effect sensor inside the distributor; it's usually called the PIP. When mine failed last year, the car mostly ran fine but would 'stutter' at times and act like the engine was cutting out for a second. Which it technically was, as the PIP was failing to tell the...

    Progress Thread 95 2-Top Cobra Build Thread- Never ending

    Well, the PIP can send a signal but it might not be a good signal. My PIP started acting up, it would stop sending a signal to the ECU for a couple of seconds then continue as if nothing happened. No check engine light, no code 212 (the most common PIP code), nothing. Replaced the PIP with a...

    SN95 Issues with Cervini's Ram Air Hoods in the rain?

    Well, I blocked the vents off on the Cervini's hood and installed it. I was hoping to repaint the hood before installing it, but oh well. The paint is a mess, but it kinda matches the rest of the car. Here's the underside of the hood, where you can see the two hood vents and the holes I...

    Are those export fender flares? I was never able to find a complete set when I was buying export tails from Japan.

    SN95 Issues with Cervini's Ram Air Hoods in the rain?

    I'm moving soon and plan on installing a Cervini's Ram Air Hood I've had in storage for a while. I don't have the ram air hood kit so the duct holes are simply open to the engine bay. Will I have any worries driving in the rain? Or parked in the rain? It may not rain here in Southern...

    SN95 Looking for Southern California Mustang Owners

    So. I will have to move out of my apartment within the next 30 days, and I have WAY too much stuff to take with me. Including my "collection" of 94-95 Mustang parts. I'm looking for any SoCal Mustang Owners that want to dig through what I have and hopefully take it all away. This is NOT a...

    For Sale 1996-1998 Cobra Rear Bumper - $200 in West Los Angeles, CA! MUST GO!

    MOVING! MUST GO! I am selling a used 96-98 OEM Ford Mustang Cobra rear bumper, in white. The paint has some minor cracks in the surface, along with some nicks & scratches, so it will need to be repainted to be perfect. However, if your paint isn't perfect (like mine isn't), then some...

    For Sale 94-98 Rear "MUSTANG" Bumper in Black, $20 in West Los Angeles, CA MUST GO!

    I am selling my original rear bumper off of my 1994 Mustang Cobra. I no longer need this rear bumper, so hopefully you need a better one. The paint on this bumper is faded and cracked, though the urethane underneath is not damaged or cracked in any way. A bit of buffing and the paint would...

    Paint and Body Chythar's 94 Cobra Clone Paint thread

    I was like that for many years. I wanted to do it right, but there was too much to learn. It paralyzed me for way too long. But I ended up learning most of what I needed to know through other projects. You can practice laying down paint and polishing it with cheap rattle-can paint, no need...

    Paint and Body Chythar's 94 Cobra Clone Paint thread

    Short update. Decided to try polishing the bumper's paint with a power tool, which is just a power drill on 'low', and the polishing pads. The results are below. I wouldn't call this 'show quality', as there are some minor imperfections I'm not going to show you, but it's pretty darn close.

    Well. Here we are, nearly six months since my last post. Feels like it was much longer. TL;DR - Bumper is COMPLETE and installed on my 94 Cobra clone. This project has been really overwhelming. When we last left off, I had decided to sand and polish the bumper despite getting orange peel...

    Engine My turn for a Sputtering-hesitating issue

    Issue is fixed - it was the PIP in the distributor. It took so long 'cause I got overwhelmed, and didn't know what to do next. So I just dropped the project for a long while. Recently, I realized I didn't test something correctly. We all know the old standby - check for air, fuel and spark...

    Thoughts on this odd (smog legal) combo?

    I live here in Los Angeles, and I've swapped a 95 Cobra drivetrain into a 94 V6 chassis. Since I had a donor car, I was able to swap over all the OEM parts and pass an inspection & smog test back in 2008. The smog tests are now checking numbers on catalytic converters to see if they're OEM, so...

    1984 Mustang Rear Shocks

    Yup, the shorter longitudinal shock in the top of your photo is a quad shock. The stock rear suspension was kinda soft for comfort, but that softness let the axle move around too much and created wheel hop. The quad shock was supposed to slow down that extra movement to reduce that wheel hop...

    Damn, sir. Your 'just sprayed on' paint looks better than some people's sanded and polished surfaces.

    After some research and a lot of procrastination, I figured out why I was getting orange peel. I'll tell you what I learned, but I'm sure you're more interested in pictures. Try to ignore the ugly idiot holding the phone. Note the reflector indent on the right. Not. Bad. But lost...

    ABS code 63 on 1994 mustang

    I see you've posted on Reddit as well as here. If you're still having trouble, try this. The pins in the electrical connectors can oxidize and add a bit of extra resistance to the circuits. When you unplug a connector then plug it back in, the pins don't always line up the same way and now...
