    overheating problem

    Thanks for the response guys.....I went down Jimmy's list. The only thing I haven't checked is the fan motor and the thermostat....thermostat was changed 5000 miles ago in 05 (this isn't my daily driver). I am not very mech inclined, how do I check the amps? My mechanic, who I don't trust...

    overheating problem

    I am having the same heating problem...on a hot day (over 85) and in traffic, the fan kicks in, but it doesn't cool the engine, it continually keeps slowly getting hotter. Any Ideas? :shrug:

    RPM guage off whack

    well...when I got the car it didn't have an oil leak....it started about 1000 miles, 3 months later and when I changed to synthetic Mobil1 10w40. It was always a "drop" when I would use and then stop the car. It has been about 2000 miles and 6 months since I got the rear main seal replaced (I...

    RPM guage off whack

    I will try that...and let everyone know. Ok another question.....I had an oil leak...everyone kept saying it was the "rear main seal" so after $450 it was replaced :bang: , it kept leaking:bang: . The mechanic then told me it was the head gasket instead. I said at this point I won't shell...

    RPM guage off whack

    I think I will keep it in there....when I removed the old one, I noticed the silicone grease wasn't put on there very generously, besides, that's the first time I ever did any work under the hood, so I am really proud...LOL :D . The turn signal doesn't blink on the dash or on the light it's self.

    RPM guage off whack

    So basically....are the ignition module and the cluster the only 2 things that can be the cause of the problem? The other thing that is bothering me is that the turn signals don't blink, but the hazard lights do blink.....I replaced the flasher but it didn't work. :shrug: I still have...

    RPM guage off whack

    I have a problem with my RPM gauge....when you start the car 50% of the time it starts reading at 2500 RPMs. I asked a few months ago what it could be, and someone mentioned the ignition module, I replaced it, I still have the problem...:bang: I am guessing it's the gauge cluster....how do I...

    I am stumped....

    Wow.....I don't think my 2000 Ranger's engine was that clean, even when I took it off the showroom. :hail2: All this help has been great, all of you are great, I think I am going to try it......but one thing, the check engine light has never gone on.....so I don't know what to do.

    I am stumped....

    I am going to bite the bullet....I have the Haynes manual but it doesn't specifically show where the ignition module is located........anyone have a picture of where it is? Thanks for all the help you guys have given me. :)

    I am stumped....

    Is the ignition module something that is easy to get to?....something I can fix myself? I have had to deal with a lot of crooked mechanics getting my Stang to top shape....I am kind of tired of them...:) I was quoted $700 to replace the head gasket, it seems a little steep to me.

    I am stumped....

    I have been restoring a 92 LX hatchback for 3 years now......I am almost done, I had to do this slowly because I am not much of a mechanic, so I have had to pay my mechanic to do most of the restoration for me, I had a 87 in college, so I really wanted one of these...plus the person who sold me...

    Suggestions for my '93 LX

    I really don't mean anything by this.....but maybe you should trade in the Mustang for a Cadillac. Mustangs aren't made to be luxury cruisers. :rlaugh:

    Oil Leak

    My mech told me the oil pan looks clean.....but I did find in another thread that said it could be the rear lower intake seal....I am going to the mech this week to have that checked out. I know that seal is no big deal. :nice:

    Oil Leak

    Hi Everyone........my 92 LX has a leak around the rear main seal area......I got it replaced and it got worse, my mech told me we'll try another seal....we did, and now it's leaking again, even when parked for a couple of days. At this point I am stomped...it has 110,000 miles and it is in...

    Uuurrrrggggg!!!!

    I found out they get stolen because the caps are discontinued.....IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT OTHER WHEELS!!!!!!!!!!!! :bang: There are places that have them for $50, but the newer mustang caps go for $20..(NOT FAIR)...I think I'll just get one and hang the 4 in my garage as...

    Uuurrrrggggg!!!!

    Last night I had one of my pony wheel caps stolen....anyone know what other plain caps work other than the ones with the pony on them?.....I figure some plain ones that only say Ford won't get stolen. I will still replace the stolen one, but I will make room in my garage to store the car before...
