    Idle surges then engine dies

    I have this happen on occasion to mine, however, I have an aftermarket camshaft in the engine so the computers always trying to "hunt" for the proper idle and in doing so, bounces up and down until I straighten it out with a push to the gas pedal.

    Cleaning MAF on 1990 5.0

    Is this the CT Motormaster brand spray that comes in a can with a picture of an electrical connection on the label????? If so, I know which spray you're talking about. Costs about $6 a can. As long as it states that it's a non-residue, I'll get myself a can. Thanks

    Cleaning MAF on 1990 5.0

    Got some questions about cleaning my MAF. Reason I'm cleaning my MAF is I run a K&N filter and I'm sure on a couple of occasions of cleaning the filter out and re-spraying, I oversprayed and believe the oil is messing with my MAF. What are some signs that the MAF may/is all gummed...

    New Door Weatherstrip

    Yep, it's expected as inside the weatherstripping is a metal belt. Just fit it in there as tight as possible and when you bolt up the interior panels it'll hold it tight and won't get loose. So.................since you installed it, been having any problems getting your door...

    Cobra Tail light lenses don't fit on GT?

    I bought a pair of mint 1986 GT lenses and housing on ebay a little over a year ago for the price of just one of those lenses from 50resto. Before I put them on I sized up the housings of the 86GT with the lenses already in them to the LX's on my car. The housings were very very close to...

    Removing Windshield Molding, Help!

    The tool I ordered is the exact same as the one posted above with the red handle. I guess it's like WLDHRSE says, looking at the geometry of that tool, the flat 2-pronged end slips under the molding between it and the glass, and looking at the handle, as it's perpendicular to the glass when...

    Removing Windshield Molding, Help!

    One more thing, did you slide the top molding either left or right to get it off the clips and hence,off the windshield??????????? It sounds to me that taking the windshield molding off is similar to removing the black door sill molding that attaches to the door side-mirror on the top part of...

    Removing Windshield Molding, Help!

    When you say you "popped" the corners, did you pull UP towards the sky? Where/how are the clips held in place under the molding?????? Are these clips glued to the metal frame of the windshield openning or to the glass itself??????????????? Can you be more detailed in your description...

    Idle surges then engine dies

    Maybe your MAF is messed up? You running a K&N filter in that car? I know the filter oil is known to gum up the sensitive MAF wire sensors. I'll be taking apart my air-inlet tub this weekend and cleaning mine out with some electric cleaner and a Q-tip.

    Coolant temp question

    I just changed out my stock 195 t-stat a month ago for a 180 also. When I had that 195 in, my highway temps were 209 degrees. I could feel the power being robbed from the engine. The last coolant flush I had was 3 years ago or about 10,000 miles so I was due for a change also. Anyways, I...

    How to Clean out the MAF in inlet tube???

    By using the brake cleaner, are you saying the stuff works so well that I don't need to use Q-tips to clean the sensors? The brake cleaner is so effective it just eats off the K&N oil? Or do I still need to use Q-tips? Brake cleaner isn't to harsh now is it? I don't want to "melt" the...

    How to Clean out the MAF in inlet tube???

    I've heard stories about people having some idling and cold starting issues all on account of the MAF sensor-wires in the air inlet-tube being all gummed up with old K&N filter oil. Anyone here know what I'm talking about and what it is I'm looking for? I understand basically that what I'm...

    Everywhere I take my car they screw something up

    Boyz, it's time to start doing your own oil changes. I kept trying to convince a buddy of mine to do his own oil changes as most of these Mr. Lube mechanics tend to screw up the simplest oil-changes. He wouldn't listen. Now he's telling me that somewhere at one of these shops the mech...

    Pics of My Baby for BOTM

    I think she' pretty. In fact, she's better than some of the BOTM I've seen in some recent issues. She's going for that "sultry" look, hence no smile. I like the last pic also. I'm not a big fan of tans either. Once they get older it works against them and their skin looks aged. Why...

    Foxbody Parking Lamp Bolt/Voltage Question!

    I'm looking to be unique and stand out of the crowd and be a bit of a rebel. I walked into CT this afternoon and checked out what they had in the APC section/Performance section in Automotive. I wanted to switch out the Orange parking lamp bulbs with either a similar sized "blue" bulb or...

    DEXCOOL & T-stat noises-ANYONE???

    Man, you didn't mention that you had an aftermarket chrome stat housing. Regardless that it's a Ford Racing part or not, sounds to me like the "seat" in the housing for the t-stat is a little too "recessed" and that Mr. Gasket t-stat is bouncing around inside there. Did you install the...

    White face gauges

    I installed a set of MAC whitefaces into my 1990 5.0 a couple of springs ago. I've heard recently that MAC discontinued making them? The set I got have the MILES on the outside of the oval and the KM on the innerside. Yes, I'm from Canada. I needed the KM's also, but those were the...

    DEXCOOL & T-stat noises-ANYONE???

    Have you considered getting rid of the Mister Gasket stat and just going with a plain old Motorcraft 180 stat???????????? I just had my 195 stocker replaced also a couple weeks back and flushed my system clean and refilled. When I had that 195 degree in my car, my operating temp was 209...
