    Will 1993 engine & wiring work in 1989?

    So if the 1989 Vert is good enough, I should just continue and make a v8 swap out of it? The car is good...but I would really like to have original.

    Will 1993 engine & wiring work in 1989?

    I found a 1989 Convertible where the PO wanted to make a hot rod, and started gutting the engine bay...so there is nothing left (let alone they took the head off and lost several pieces a few years ago). It is a real nice body, interior, and top so I want to save it. I found a 1993 running...

    Blue Smoke when leaving stop, help diagnose

    Fixed. So honestly since i have a parts car complete (bad title), I never tried to diagnose the car. My worst suspicions were pretty much confirmed in another chat group. Nonetheless I went to start pulling the motor, and guess what I found? When I disconnected the "cold air kit" I was...

    Convertible top not responding to switch

    Fixed. Funny fix at that. I had replaced all the fuses...with used fuses of the correct amperage. Turns out the #5 fuse I used was corroded. I could take my test light with the key on, and have power at both of the test points on the back of the fuse...but the blade on the protected side was...

    HELP: '87 runs super rich and dies if it idles lower then 1,900 rpms

    The car does sound like a hack job, and the prior owner (PO) sounded dumb. I am an ASE master tech, and from the sounds of this I would not touch it. For you to take someone's word (PO) who probably did half of the hack job, when they say a Ford technician looked at it...is probably half...

    Convertible top not responding to switch

    Sorry, 1992 Convertible. No click from the solenoid. Great and simple wiring diagram. Does anyone know where the power going to the convertible top circuit breaker would we located? If it is close to the battery, I have been working around that area as well...

    Convertible top not responding to switch

    Here is the old typical scenario. The top was working when I bought the car, now the switch has no response. background, I replaced all the fuses because they were all 20 amps in the fuse box, and I replaced the automatic shifter. The car starts in park, and neutral as it should. Now that...

    door window glass washers/bushings need help locating

    I found them at the Ford Dealer as suggested. They were abour $2 each half. The installation is a bear without using plastic split tail rivets that come with the aftermarket kits mentioned here online, but a 1/4" bolt does work. Thanks

    door window glass washers/bushings need help locating

    Hey all, I am working on the 1992 Convertible I purchased a couple weeks ago. The driver window was "stuck" up but very loose. Motor was non responsive. So I find someone was in there because a glass was broken. When they reinstalled, they only had 1 of the 3 pair of washers in there, and...

    Blue Smoke when leaving stop, help diagnose

    thanks for the reply. I do have all professional tools at my disposal, I was just looking for a better opinion that what I suspected. There was an old rule of thumb: Cold blue smoke = seals, hot blue smoke = rings. But on another site, and older gentlemen gave me some really, really...

    Blue Smoke when leaving stop, help diagnose

    Hey all, Just bought a 1992 Vert with a 2.3 for my daughter (First car). On driving it home my wife said the tailpipe was smoking blue when taking off from any stops and when I let of gas then accelerated. Does this sound like a valve seal problem, or a ring problem? If valve seals, can...

    Well the High School Drag Racing series is over at the St. Louis Area Gateway International Raceway. My daughter campaigned a 1966 Mustang coupe with a 302 engine/C4 combination. We had a great time this summer, and it felt like a marathon when it was all over. I documented the entire...

    Well autojoke, or I mean autozone will only do the test a couple times...that is since they have cut their staffing to a manager and one employee. The line of people has not changed for hepl at their store, but their service sure has declined. My 1993 vert took about 8 times to show the fault...

    Head light switch problem, please help

    I have a 1991 Mustang without fog lights. We have a wierd problem. The headlights work, but all the parking and taillights will not work at the same time. If we play with the headlight switch a little bit, and leave it in a position about 3/4 way on, all will work, unless you bump it. I...

    I cannot pull DTC's from 1991 2.3 Vert

    whoever reminded me of the basics, kudos to you. I did get to pull the codes based on the information linked to a ranger website. Thanks. I had EGR codes, which once I cleaned the egr and pulled the stuck valve open with a vacuum pump the code did not reappear. However... Today I...

    Hello, I am new here, and i just bought a 1991 2.3L Mustang Convertible. I already have a 1993 2.3 Convertible, so I bought another for my kid. The problem is the car was sitting for a few years. A guy bought it and rebuilt the tranny, new radiator & battery. I get it and it ran rough...

    How easy is it to disconnect/make inoperative bulb for airbag light?

    I recommend simply using black tape and covering the bulb. THe other guy who said remove the bulb has probably not done that before. If you remove a airbag bulb on a Ford, then a hidden buzzer will sound and not go off. The only way to stop the buzzer, is to locate where it is, and cut the...

    Sad Story, my daughter was hit in the rear in her 1990 5.0.

    Well, I have been struggling with this accident for a couple weeks now. The other insurance does not want to pay for all the damage (20%), even though their insured hit my daughter in the rear. My daughter spun the tires in the rain, and lost speed, the other driver came up (too fast for...
