Here is the car I looked at yesterday, it has 133k on the clock and the dude wants no less than $2250. It's not in GREAT shape but it's not too bad. Only thing that bugs me is the CE light is on and it misfires. I tried hooking up my code reader but it wouldn't connect? I'm not afraid of...

I'll let you all know. I'm going to look at the '97 probably next Thurs or Friday.

I'm glad you mentioned the gear change issue, I was going to do 4.10's most likely not long after I purchase.

Great post. Thanks. But I guess I'll ask it... so GenI's are known to be a lil faster?

What features are we talking about? I've seen several Gen I's up close, but I've never even sat in a Gen II, only seen them driving.

I don't know if anyone here remembers me, but it's been a good 6 years or so since I posted here. Also before anything else, I'd like to briefly say thanks and RIP to Ray Urso (1wykdmk8) for helping me out and getting me into the Mark VIII crowd in past years, he deserves the shout out. I no...

Truely UNBELIEVEABLE. I recieved a call from his dad this morning (saturday) and was absolutely speechless and crushed about the news. Ray had helped me dozens and dozens of times with my lincoln right in his driveway and I also went to several car cruises with him and we'd have our Mark VIII's...

Going overboard with the oil on the filter will also turn a MAF into junk. If I remember correctly they come preoiled with a small amount, but just something to keep in mind when it comes time to clean your filter and you're reoiling it.

I've had 9mm Ford Racing wires and the Motorcraft Lightning Plugs... Overall really liked them... got them from Max

Adding a quart of ATF in with your next oil change will help clean most of everything out also. Wouldn't recommend it for a very high mileage motor though.

Sounds to me like crank sensor.... Like unity said, just try wiggling it around and see if it will start.

Funny thing is... I remember alldata having a pretty decent picture of its location? try looking up something on the throttle body itself or go into Locations.

Speaking of motor redline.... Geno, I think you could tell him a thing or 2 about slamming it to 7500 rpm, huh? (carlisle burnout video) LOL

won't start when hot? Check your positive and Negative battery terminals and wires. Easiest way to figure it out, try wiggling the terminals when you have your no start condition.

Same thing goes with using Butane or various other flammable gases.... Just open the valve a tad bit and slowly move around the engine and when the idle kicks, you've found it... or are in the vicinity of it.
