Here are pictures of how everything was when I verified TDC. Based on the pic of my harmonic balancer pointing at 0 and TDC verified, should the rotor be pointing (left) of #1? In the picture, #1 is the closest to the intake or closest to 12 o'clock position. I thought the firing rotation...

Ok, after thinking the balancer had spun, I proceeded to verify the timing. The method I chose was to take the passenger side valve cover off, turn the crank bolt clockwise until I first saw the #1 exhaust valve open, then close, then the intake open then close, then marked my position and...

My mistake on the codes, I was doing the test wrong. It came back with these numbers: KOEO-11-10-11 KOER-8-94-44-94-44 Everything else seems in good condition, the plugs, wires, cap and rotor look good. I don't know the age of any of it but it appears the coil is stock. It's strange because...

Just got back in from scanning the car again. The exact numbers it gave me were 11, then 10, then 11.

I bought one of the digital code scanners a month ago because that was my first step. I apologize for leaving that out the first time. I have done just the basic code scan and also the cylinder test. Before I did anything to the car, I had a code for EGR but I have since scanned and it has...

Ok, I have posted before about a miss/hesitation in my almost bone stock 90 LX 5.0 5spd. I have tried a few things and I still have a quite a few more things to try/test but I wanted to tell a little bit more to see if anyone has had the same problem and could direct me on something else to...

I agree that it should be regular maintenance, at some point. And mine will get replaced sometime in the future because the car does have a little over 100k miles and I would just like to have "peace of mind." Since the car is not my DD, I was just posting the pics and trying to get opinions...

To me it seems ok, but then again I have never had balancer problems with a mustang. Maybe I have just been lucky as this has been my 5th mustang, and my 4th fox. I never gets dull buying a mustang and finding all the little odd things that have done to it or potential problems. All the...

I would like to get other peoples opinions on this. I am uploading a few pics of my harmonic balancer. I am curious is this looks as if it has shifted or not. I am just judging by the rubber, which appears fine on the back side but on the front side it seems to be sticking out slightly, as...

Used the crude method for checking for TDC (finger covering #1, bumping over and waiting for compression to push finger off) and it appears the timing is right. I don't have a piston stop right now and actually don't have an extra spark plug to do the method jrichker is talking about. With the...

I just got back inside. Jacked the car up and put it on stands, looked all around the balancer and it looks good. No rubber poking out. I took a pic of it just to be sure. Didn't see anything coming out the back or anything that looked suspect. Everything looked uniform. Put the car back...

I am running 92/93 in it. I am going to check the plugs next like you said and see what they look like, then also check the balancer. Any other suggestions on what to look for and try?

I checked it out once I got home, and it seems to be a stock distributor and also Motorcraft TFI module, with a MSD cap and rotor. One thing I did do was adjust the timing a bit more. I set it to about 14, then drove it and it had a little hesitation but greatly improved, you could actually...

Come to think of it, I am not 100% sure it's a MSD distributor, but I know it's a MSD cap and probably rotar. I don't have the car with me right now so I can't take a closer look. Could the TFI module be causing the issues? The last time I drove it, it was hesitating/bucking/missing pretty...

I had been suspecting the MSD distributor as well but have been reading about many other things that COULD be the problem. I don't have a stock distributor to test out, ironically 10+ years ago my brother and I would probably have 3 or 4 laying around, and now not a single one. If it is the...

I have searched and found many issues similar but nothing quite the same as the problem I'm having. I'll post here to see if anyone can chime in if they have had the same problem and tell me what to check first. 1990 LX 5.0 5spd 106k miles Only mods are CAI and off-road H with flowmasters, and...

It's been so long since I had a fox and tried to run codes so I just picked up a small OBD I digital scanner. After I ran the scanner, it came back clean, no codes. It did pull one out of memory that was 31. Not sure what the 31 would be on a mustang. One thing I did notice this time about...

Hello everyone, I am just recently getting back into the Fox mustangs. I've had a few in the past then stepped up to an 03 Cobra a few years ago. Now I am back with the Foxes because I started driving with one and can't seem to get it out of my system. I purchased a very clean and low...
