    Car not starting, HELP!!! Fuel Pump?

    So I got in my car this morning and it wouldn't start. The fuel pump doesn't sound like it is priming when the key is turned to the run position. I don't want to pull my fuel pump and replace it if it is the relay. What is the best way to test the fuel pump relay? It is my DD, so I want to...

    Calling all-COOLING Guru's-HELP???????

    If all else fails you could always pull the heads, have the deck checked for level or have them leveled, and replace the head gaskets. Make sure you torqued the heads down in the proper order and with the proper bolts and torque setting. What head bolts did you use, and did you re-torque them...

    Had to put my dog to sleep :(

    Mansonozz, I feel for you. I had a similar situation happen to me about eight years ago. I had a purebreed dalmation that I had had for six years, he was very active and very large (100 lbs). I had him all through junior high and high school, he would only sleep with me on my bed or not at...

    What do the cop cars run in a 1/4?

    You are perfectly correct in saying it is case by case. Sometimes chases are called off due to the danger involved. However, it is never a good idea to run from the cops. The training they go through is crazy. They have far superior resources and are trained not to freak out in chase.

    Lowering without the rough ride?(searched)

    Even a completely stock fox mustang is not the best riding car, and your Contour would ride better than a stock fox mustang. Cutting stock springs is a bad idea. The ride would probably be worse than it is now. Like skoobie said check you're spring isolators. What kind of shocks do you...

    What do the cop cars run in a 1/4?

    Just because you're car may have a faster top speed and quicker quarter mile time than the standard cop cars doesn't mean you are going to get away, and not get "run down". The police have radios, helicopters, stop sticks and in some cases in rural areas with long straight freeways they have...

    should i get another electric fan or go back to belt driven???

    I vote stay with the e-fan. I have the Mark VIII fan I got on ebay for like $50, then used a cheap Checker Auto bought controller and the proper Bosch relay(approximately $30, maybe less). Do a search and there is lots of write ups with wiring diagram links. It is set at 180, and never gets...

    What do the cop cars run in a 1/4?

    My bone stock 1990 special service notch back that I bought at auction ran a 14.8 right off the auction floor with no mods, right down to the Goodyear Gatorbacks :notnice:, and motorcraft plugs and filters, on 110000 miles. As far as I know the only changes made were a oil cooler, 3:08's, and...

    Who Knows

    Just a guess here, so hopefully someone here much smarter than me will chime in.:D It sounds like a fuel or spark problem, like it is running really rich and has a carbon build up problem. It sounds like the fuel tables in the computer are wreaking havoc on the motor, either from bad oxygen...

    Calling all-COOLING Guru's-HELP???????

    Sounds to me like the most likely cause for the noise is due to bad bearings in the water pump causing the impeller to ungulate. Especially because you say the noises go away with the serpentine belt off, wich would take load off the bearings. If the nioses seem to be coming from the front of...

    wheels 17x9 in 4 lug?

    I think they look way better than the older Cobra R's in 4-lug. Here is a picture, it's blurry and kind of dark, but it's the best I have right now.

    Need help installing a original 93 Cobra intake

    Thanks everyone for the help. I think I will go with Felpro lower's and all the Explorer replacement gaskets up top since they are all in stock locally. :SNSign:

    Need help installing a original 93 Cobra intake

    bryce93lx A Napa part number for the victor reinz gaskets would be great. Thanks. My main problem is I need all the intake manifold gaskets, and 65mm throttle body gaskets, because the Accufab TB is used and doesn't have gaskets. Does anyone know if the 5.0L V8 Explorers had a 65mm...

    Need help installing a original 93 Cobra intake

    This weekend I am planning on installing my Cobra intake manifold and Accufab 65mm TB. I need all the gaskets, upper to lower, head to manifold, and TB gaskets. My problem is I need the correct ones. I looked on Summit Racings website and the upper to lower gaskets come in a pack of five...

    Idle surges then engine dies

    Sorry, I never took the time to read your mods. You probably do need to convert to mass air, those computers are very picky. In the mean time you could try and mess with the idle to see if it helps.

    Idle surges then engine dies

    I know you said you checked for vacuum leaks, but to me it sounds like that is most likely the culprit, that or a electrical problem. I would check all TB, intake manifold gaskets, and any that could cause vacuum leaks, as well as all vacuum line connections throughout the engine bay. EFI...
