    What's the best way to sell my Cobra ?

    Hmmm, I never dealt with Craigslist. I always thought it was an unsupervised scam. No checks and balances, yet it seems to be the number one response. I would've never guessed.

    stock clutch cable and adjustable quadrant

    I went with the Fiore quadrant because it had the same radius as stock but was made of alluminium. With it I installed the Fiore "Micro Click" firewall adjuster. Stock cables are the only way to go. The aftermarket ones are crap. The adjusters great. No set screws or tools required.

    Clutch pressure plate repair

    Not sure about the finger but if you get it changed by a garage, let them buy the parts. If there's a warranty issues, the mechanic will say it's bad parts and the parts guy will say it's how it was installed. If the garage does everything, there's no question who needs to fix it.

    clutch fork return spring

    I did this on my own after I lost the first throwout bearing at 40K. I have a Tremec 3650 and basically went to the hardware store and purchased a couple of springs that I thought would be a good fit and a couple of "S" hooks. Without the dust cover on, I hooked a spring to the fork and to...

    removing cats

    Here in CT, even though they don't use a sniffer on the tail pipe, they'll be able to tell from the smell and they usually look under the car to be sure they're there. I do believe you have 4 cats with 2 upstream and 2 downstream O2 sensors. I don't think you'll be able to just cut them out...

    Where can I get coolant bypass O-rings

    Could they be the same ones used in the thermostat housing?

    Where can I get coolant bypass O-rings

    That was the first place I checked and they couldn't find it in a number of different books nor can I find it on line, even at the Ford OEM sites.

    Where can I get coolant bypass O-rings

    I removed the coolant bypass pipe on my 01 Cobra, the one with the bleeder in it and I'm trying to replace the o-ring on either end of it before reinstalling but I can't find them anywhere. I haven't checked the dealer but I can't believe a parts store wouldn't have something like this. I...

    99-04 Common Issues

    Since mines got the issue, my search for a solution has revealed many others that have it also. That's is a "stumble / misfire" at cruising speed at 1800 to 2k RPM. It also comes with a slightly ruff idle.

    Does my 2001 engine have the cheap plastic intake?

    That's the one. All aluminium. That's great. Thanks

    How low is to low?

    I dropped it 1.5 inches and I scrap bottom everywhere. Going down a wavy country road it scraped at 30 miles an hour.

    Clutch adjuster

    Screwing it out, away from the firewall, will make the clutch grab higher on the pedal

    Where can I get coils tested?

    Damned if he wasn't right. I cleaned up the stocker coils and bought a set of Autolite Platinum OEM's and the problem got 85 to 90% better. It's OEM from now on for me. I'm sending the injectors out to Marren Fuel Injection here in Connecticut (Oxford) and they'll clean 'em, replace o-rings and...

    Where can I get coils tested?

    That will make sure the internal wireing isn't broken but it won't show if the internal insulation is breaking down when high voltage is applied. I read about a company you sent your injectors to and they would rebuild and test operation and spray pattern. I'm sure there must be a company...

    Where can I get coils tested?

    I've been battling a "stumbling" issue at idle to 2k RPM. I replaced plugs and coils (among other things) and still had the issue. I ended up taking it to the mechanic to have it put on the analyzer and, after $460 he tells me the coils aren't strong enough. They're Accel's by the way. What's...

    A/C Problem

    I would try the cheap fix first. Go to the parts store and pick up a R134a recharge kit. I just did my daughters car and it was easy. The hardest part you would have is if the pressure so low, even with the can attached, the compressor didn't start, you just need to jumper the pressure switch to...

    Diablo Predator: Can I mod my stock tune

    If I choose to use the stock tune for my 4.6, can I mod it or does it have to have the performance tune installed ? If yes, how's it done?

    Low RPM miss? No codes showing...

    I understand now. A reset of the PCM is absolutely necessary after the install of the O2 sensors. Would pulling the battery cable for a few minutes work? That's what I did.
