    Vent switch issue

    Well the line had cracked right where it feeds into the grommet on the vacuum tree. I cut the remaining 2-3mm of line out of the grommet and inserted the rest of the line which fit pretty snug. Wrapped it in electrical tape just to be sure then reconnected it to the tree. Seems to work fine so far

    Vent switch issue

    The line had cracked and became disconnected from the grommet. Nothing a little electrical tape couldn't fix. Thanks guys.

    Vent switch issue

    I'm having an issue with the vent direction switch, it seems to be stuck on defrost and will not move to floor, vent, mix, etc. The switch itself moves, but the airflow direction does not change. I believe the blend motor is vacuum operated but I'm not sure where to look for a bad line. I feel...

    Idle problem

    Hey guys, having some trouble lately with a high idle. While driving, I've noticed that the idle switches from the normal ~600rpm to around 2000rpm. If I stop driving and leave it in neutral for a minute, it comes down to around 1800. If I turn off the engine and wait a few seconds, then...

    Cobra fog lights

    While driving today I lost a lens on one of my cobra fogs. I've been unable to find anyplace that sells just the clear plastic lens and I'm not trying to buy the whole assembly. I did however find some 87-93 gt/cobra fog light lenses for around $20. Does anyone know if these will fit 94-98 cobra...

    Chewing up right front tire

    It's been about 4 years since the last time the front end was aligned, however 2 of those years it was rarely driven. The suspension is bone stock, although I replaced the struts with Monroe OEM replacements about 5000 miles ago. The alignment feels fine, on a flat road surface it doesn't drift...

    Chewing up right front tire

    My passenger side front tire is wearing very uneven; the inner edge balding much quicker than the rest of the tire. What would cause this? The steering feels aligned, however I do get a shimmy between 50-55mph (probably due to the uneven wear). I visually inspected my front end components...

    Livernois Motorsports gets 415 RWHP / 399 RWTQ in the new 5.0!

    I couldn't agree more. I would CONSIDER spending 40k on a new truck or SUV that could be used year-round and also for work purposes, hauling, towing, vacations etc. As much as I love mustangs they are essentially toys, and the pricing is getting ridiculous.

    Cobra front tag pics

    Hey guys, I'm hoping for some pics of your front tag setups/mounts on a cobra bumper. I've been going sans front plate since i had my car repainted and installed the cobra bumper a few summers back, but I'm sick of getting pulled over by cops with nothing better to do. I'd like to avoid drilling...

    Hard starting, hesitation, stalling

    Replaced the Stator this morning and thoroughly cleaned/oiled the parts of the distributor. Result: Overall, car runs better, feels a little more crisp, but...the cutting out under load remains. At high RPMs its fine, only when accelerating at lower RPMs does this problem occur. Fuel issue? I've...

    Hard starting, hesitation, stalling

    Today i attempted to replace the sensor, but I didn't get very far. I was unable to get the distributor out...unscrewed the bolt and the hold-down, wiggled and pulled comprehensively...wouldn't budge and I didn't wanna break it. I'm very inexperienced with timing related issues. Any suggestions...

    Hard starting, hesitation, stalling

    Thanks for the info. Any idea on how expensive they are? I cleaned the MAF and air filter this evening thoroughly, and the problem remains.

    Hard starting, hesitation, stalling

    Plugs and wires are about 5k old, I ran a can of seafoam through the tank and brake booster about two weeks ago with no change in behavior. I'm gonna clean the MAF and TB tonight or tomorrow morning. I don't have access to a scanner but there's no check engine light showing. The car always...

    Hard starting, hesitation, stalling

    As the title suggests I've been having some problems with my '95 lately. About every third start, it cranks and cranks but doesn't fire. Usually takes about 3 turns of the key before it kicks over, then usually stalls right after. After this it starts and idles. Under load, the engine cuts out...

    Trans shimmy

    Hey guys, My '95 has been exhibiting a shimmy when taking off in first. It's much more apparent when the car is hot, especially in stop and go traffic. It seems to be getting worse...trans? clutch? What can I check? Thanks for any advice.
