    Car is acting up when hot

    After doing a little digging I thing you are right. I belive my calbes are all 2 gauge. I am going to redo the both the positive and all the grounds with 1/0 cables. Would this be causing the issues with my oil? I would blame that on the stock gauge but since it started ticking on me I figured...

    Car is acting up when hot

    I have a 90 LX with the 3G upgrade and the battery in the trunk. When the car warms up I have problems with the car. The oil pressure drops to zero, like the gauge isn’t getting any power. If I rev the engine the pressure raises for a second then drops again. I have not gotten a mechanical...

And hopefully the car will never see a trailer. I would like to find somehting that has the body work done already (if it still...

    I would like to get everyone's opinion on this since I am considering taking on a classic mustang as my next project. What are the pros and cons to working on a classic mustang? I would definitely be doing a restomod, I am thinking a 65 coupe would be really nice. Everyone chime in and talk...

    Couple questions...

    I'll try to help a little. The small top post on the solenoid is for the ignition wire. It is just a push on connector. The terminal that you numbered three is for the starter wire. That side is not the ground but a switched source. When turn the ignition terminal three gets power. The solenoid...

    Help with speedo issue

    I am having a couple of issues with my car that I am hoping are related. One problem is that the speedo does not work and the other problem is that when I come to a stop the car stalls unless I am giving it gas. The idle does not move more than 100 rpm normally and it does not stall all the...

    v.s.s help

    What are the symptoms of a bad vss? Is there a way to test for a bad vss? Would a bad speedo cable cause the same problems as a bad vss? My speedo does not work in my car and after the car warms up it will usually kill on me unless I give it soem gas. The car starts back up with no problem...

    car started but died need help

    This might sound like a stupid question but does the spout need to be out when I stab the dizzy and try to get the car started for the first time? Once the car is running on its own then I can set the timing with a light and put the spout back in? I have not taken the spout out for this part...

    car started but died need help

    Thanks for the help. I have followed the above steps about three times now. I try putting the distributor in again and see if that helps. But it won't be today because it is raining. If the above is correct then what else would cause this problem? Could it be the pip sensor?

    car started but died need help

    I have gone through the check list and finally got the car started last night. I had to turn the distributor a little to get it to fire but when I let go of the distributor the car died and would not start back. I tried to reinstall the distibutor but that did not help either. I feel like an...
