I had a '89 T-bird that was doing random bad things, poor idle, erratic running , stalling, etc.--everyone said the ECM rarely fails, but no one could figure out what the problem really was. I spent $600 with "experts" who all failed to correct the problem but charged me lots of cash for their...

I got my rear seat out by accident--I was following the above suggestions and luckily got it loose. It turns out my seat comes out fairly easily, I was being too gentle. I made a nice wedge out of a piece of junk 2x4 and used it to raise the seat cushion by driving it between the floor and...

I just bought a 1991 5.0 LX ragtop--the top goes up and down fine, but the right rear window won't move. The motor spins but the window won't budge--I presume it has plastic parts in the regulator that need to be replaced. I'm familiar with this from other failed regulators in other Fords. My...

Let's do it, f8tl.

I need the sensor and also the piece it attatches to--on my car I have a piece of aluminum irrigtion pipe in place of the correct parts. The plug is sitting there, but the right parts are missing. I have a photo of it but can't figure out how to post it--I have posted pics before--why can't I...

I bought a troubled '91 ragtop that had been "modified" by a young kid and his friends. They were hip-hop types who wanted to do donuts at the local schoolyard. I bought it for a decent price, it ran pretty good but had many problems. I drove it home and began fixing them one by one and the car...

I have a near bone-stock Mustang 5.0 LX ragtop and it has worn out tires on it. I am wanting to have a car that looks stock to the casual observer but I want it to have a nice hunkered down look so that someone might say "that thing looks stock, but I don't remember em looking quite that good"...

Here's a follow-up on my problems, the ign switch and the clutch cable. I went with new parts, both from ebay which were considerably lower priced than anything I could get locally, the only downside was waiting for the parts to get here. In both cases I spent the time detailing parts and making...

Thanks for the responses, I finally used a slightly shorter main cable that I got from NAPA--the pigtail to the fender was lengthened, and now it fits and looks like a factory part--they car is acting perfectly. Thanks for the help--I am kinda knowlegable but it helps to get your input.

I just threw away a home-brewed cable that had failed--it was about 42" long and went more or less straight to the block, with a secondary neg. cable going to a ground next to the batt. on the fender. This was amateur-ish, so I tossed it, and bought a cable from NAPA, but it is 60" long and will...

I just bought the Ford Racing cable from Summit--looks EXACTLY like the one that came out of it--hope it does the trick.

Your link was to the Mustang Monthly article? I should have specified what the trouble is. MM showed a 87 Saleen with a simpler dash panel apparently, theirs was much smaller, secured by two screws, and it stated once the panel screws are removed just remove the panel. My '91 LX has a much...

I have the proper bits, no problem--the old switch is out, the new one is on it's way, so this morning I busied myself with removing the old clutch cable. It was looking not too bad but was adjustable at the fork so removing it was extra difficult, the adjusters were double-nutted and very...

NOW we're getting somewhere! This thing has come apart totally and the insides have fallen out. I obviously need a new one. I was calling the device you stick they key into the ignition switch! We learn as we go. Now, how does the lower dash panel come off? I want to access the wires better. All...

I am a self-taught mechanic with a good selection of tools and little serious knowlege. I know some things well, but am ignorant of others. I just bought a '91 LX convert with 5.0 and 5-spd manual--kinda neat car with original paint, original (shabby) interior, healthy sounding motor, good...

nice alignment of panels and straight surfaces--no waves. Its a tough job to get one this straight--nice job.

Thanks, b--mystery solved!

It's a metal console with thee main pieces, they have what appear to have Ford part numbers (C5OB, 1965?)--they were mounted on a plastic shifter console, the only remaining piece is the black thing on the far right end. The metal is in new condition. It looks like an automatic shifter went in...
