    Gauge Cluster Is Messing Up

    CCRM houses a fuel pump relay, the two electric fans relays and the WOT A/C kill relay. Also, it is fully coated electronics inside so it will not get damaged by water ingress.

    Engine High Idle 2002 Gt

    Mine had high idle before due to the alternator's diode bridge failure. This also produced a hissing sound from the alternator that may be mistaken as a bearing problem.

    Can The 02 Be The Cause?

    Not the O2 sensor. Just get a new fuel pump and inline fuel filter in. This is same mileage I got the same problem.

    Oil pressure gauge not working

    To discard gauge failure, do a gauge test using the instruments cluster diagnostics: press the TRIP button on the instruments cluster then turn on the ingnition (without cranking it) until "test" reads on the odometer: the gauges will go from min. to max. then min. again then actual readings...

    Question on letting car warm up

    Did they check the diodes? sometimes they just skip that if you do not mention it... If some diodes are gone the output voltage will be low thus not charging the battery... a sign of diodes fault is a whinning sound from the alternator... I do not heat the engine up, I drive right away up to...

    What is the highest oil weight you can put in your 4.6L ?

As it only occurs while driving, I don't see oil on...

    Have an oil leak around oil filter

    I will replace the gasket this weekend... I did not know about the coolant issue, I thought the coolant port was only for 4V engines so I suppose on 2V's the oil filter adapter is blind on the cooland port?... It is OK for me as I have to flush the cooling system and replace the engine coolant...
