    Fuel tank seal where filler tube connects

    Hi Guys, Been having a problem a fuel smell/leak coming from where the gas filler tube connects to the tank. If my tank is too full when I turn a corner I'll start smelling gas. Also when I go to fill it up all the way it will start running out underneath where that seal is. Anyway, i've...

    Should I resurface my flywheel if it's only a few years old?

    I had a bad experience a few years ago installing a Spec Stage 2 with a resurfaced flywheel and ended up taking it apart and putting a brand new ford flywheel in. Here I am again about to install a Centerforce DF clutch kit and I'm having second thoughts about resurfacing the flywheel again...

    Problem with tranny, synchros bad?

    Hi Guys, I was driving the other day and all of a sudden I felt a vibration in the clutch pedal as I was coming to a light. Stopped, I couldn't put it into any gear and finally forced it into 1st and the clutch was barely grabbing with the pedal almost all the way off the floor. The clutch...

    Do our cars have a low fuel warning light?

    It might be a pretty stupid question, but i've never seen one on my car and i'm not sure if the indiglo gauges that came with my car cover it up or not. I don't see any place for it, but I figure it'd be the most basic thing to have. I don't really need one that bad, but it was just something I...

    Is it possible to temporarily jump the pins on the pwr seat switch so I can move fwd?

    Guys I can't drive my car, my seat is all the way back and I just can't clutch that far back. I tried everything to get the damn thing forward and I just can't get it anywhere. I know I need a new switch or manual rack asap. Right now I have it apart and i'm messing around with trying to jump...

    Where can I buy the grey connector that plugs into the headlight switch?

    Is it even possible? The grey connector that plugs into the back of the headlight switch. I realize it's pre-wired but I would just extend it a bit and use some heatshrink to connect all the wires back. For some reason one of the wires receiving voltage burned all the plastic around it and the...

    Can't advance timing past 10degrees, distributor hitting fuel rail?

    Hey guys, I've always been able to advance my timing without any hassles. I recently replaced my timing chain and the timing was a bit lower (around 6 or 7). I'm thinking maybe it was because of the slack in the old chain. Anyways, i went to re-adjust it and when I turn the distributor clockwise...

    What a disappointing night. My timingcover/waterpump horror. Please help!

    I can't beleive this crap. A month ago my waterpump started leaking so I went to replace it and ended up breaking the long bolt that goes through the timing cover right underneath the tensioner. So after a month of debating if I should just pull the engine and go to town on it I decided I'd do...

    Timing chain slack question

    Hi guys, trying to fix a bolt I broke off when changing the waterpump out. Figured I would put a double roller on while I'm taking the cover off, but I guess somebody already put a double roller on it already. Anyway, it seems the right side has slack in it, while the left side is pretty tight...

    Getting ready to pull engine, help me figure out what I should do.

    Hi guys, long story short... I broke a waterpump/timing cover bolt and now I'm going to pull the engine. It kind of happened at an unexpected time so I don't have the most money right now and want to get the car back up in the next few months. Of course you know I want to upgrade some stuff on...

    do the waterpump bolts go through the timing cover and into the block?

    I was taking out my waterpump tonight and one of the long bolts broke inside. I would imagine it goes through the timing cover, but does it actually thread into the block? I'll try to extract the rest of the bolt out, but I don't know if i'll end up needing to remove the whole cover if I can't...

    Should I get a tweecer?

    Hi Guys, Let me start off by saying my car is basically bone stock. I'd love to do some mods to it, but I've spent forever trying to get it to run right. I've always had the dreaded pinging problem and still haven't came up with a good solution. after trying countless things that are always...

    ABS light

    Hey guys, I've had this ABS light on for a while now. It comes on after 5 or 10 minutes of driving. Whatever the way was to get the codes off where you jump the two wires together, I tried that but nothing happens because there probably isn't a code in there until I drive. How do I find out...

    noisy IAC

    Are IACs known to eventually become really noisy? I have this really high pitched constant noise coming from my engine bay and it sounds like it's coming from the IAC area. I tried listening closer with a cardboard tube but i'm not 100% positive that it's it. The car seems to run fine, could it...

    ABS code

    How do I go about pulling an ABS code if it doesn't come on until I start driving? I grounded the one wire it says to at the abs diagnostic connector but I don't see the light flash at all. Am I supposed to drive it until it comes on and then stop and try to do this?

    CEL Code 181 help...

    Just pulled the codes last night, the light only came on for a split second but comes on here and there once in a while. Code 181. I forget what exactly it was off the top of my head but something with the right bank being rich? I only saw one other post about it and I hear that it actually...

    an update pic on my car

    Hi everybody, Just wanted to throw a pic of my car up since it's been a while. At the end of last year a deer ran out in front of me on the highway while I was going about 60mph. Needless to say my car was totaled and the insurance company was hassling me and just wanted to cut me a check. If I...

    how much would adjustable shocks lower the rear?

    Hi guys, I have my car lowered with a eibach pro kit. I think it still sits a little high in the back. I was thinking about upgrading my tokico's in the back to the 5-way adjustables. Would any of the settings on the shocks lower my car in the back at all? Or would I have to change the...

    went to charge a/c, now my service port is leaking

    What should I do? Almost all of the freon leaked out now, but still has some in it. It won't stop leaking until I put the cap back on. I don't know whats messed up inside of it? I can't see anything and tried moving it around a bit. Is this something I can replace? This sucks!!!

    a/c compressor keeps kicking on/off continuously

    Hi guys, My a/c continuously cycles on and off. It wasn't coming on at all, but I filled it up with a can of freon, and thats what it's doing now. Last year I replaced the LPS and it worked great for some time. Is there an easy fix for this? I believe a year and a half ago I had the system...
