When I replaced the line assembly on mine, it came with the seals pre-installed. There was still some play between the fittings and the back of the pump connection, but that seemed normal? Where is it leaking from?

Is the car really that hammered? I see you are in the bay area... I just moved to Santa Rosa. If you are really going to sell, what do you have and what are you looking for?

After 16 years, things start to just plain wear out? My is going into the shop today to try to find a gremlin that has eluded me for months now.

I agree with Chicken... "theres a o-ring inside the nut that seals around the line, somehow the line is "supposed" to come out of the nut, but i nor anyone else at work (ford dealership) has figured out how it comes apart, the manual says remove nut..... we've tried every disconnect tool in...

Make sure you have about 1-2 hours and enough patience to go with it. The other thing you will need is that crows foot socket to loosen and remove the fitting from the pump, I left the pump in place, what a pain in the A. Good luck!

I have a 94 and I cannot connect to the computer to pull or reset codes. I have tried it with a cheap / simple OBD 1 scanner and a Snap On "does everything" professional scanner. It seems to have an error when trying to communicate, I cannot "connect" to the computer. Is this a problem with the...

Final Solution!!! This is a follow up to this lengthy problem. I just hope this thread helps someone else someday. After replacing the melted A/C clutch, the car has run perfectly for about 2500 miles. No more shifting issues. How the burned up AC clutch could have possibly affected the...

Just a followup. The leak turned out to be the seal that cannot be replaced, so the entire hose assembly had to be replaced, about $35. The biggest pain was getting to the connection to the rack. You will need a set of Crows foot wrenches , sockets to get at it. Crazy how the hose is about 4 ft...

It is hard to tell, but it looks like it is leaking between the nut and the line. Does anyone have a diagram showing how the seal fits in there?

I have developed a small leak coming from the power steering pump where the pressure line connects. It has an 18mm hex connector that I assume holds the steel tubing in place? The manual I have says that a small amount of "play" in the steel line is normal, but that is where my leak is coming...

This is like a soap opera, but maybe there is a happy ending. My AC clutch finally gave up working a couple weeks ago. After removing the pulley, it appears the clutch has burned up electrically also? (see photo) So I purchased and installed a brand new compressor, receiver-dryer and orifice...

No I do not have a chip, but the heating up of the PCM be possible. The problem did not occur until after 1 hour+ of operation the last 2 times it happened. But then again, the problem tends to disappear after a few minutes and then run OK again, so that sort of blows the overheating PCM theory...

So is there any other ideas to why the car will suddenly and randomly drop out of 4th, into 3rd or even 2nd at low speeds? The other symptom is the smell of exhaust and sometimes the AC clutch will be disabled... I am running out of things to look for.

Does the TOT sensor have any active role in the shifting schedule? I have installed an aftermarket cooler and the trans temp now stays below 180' all the time. Are the solenoids for the trans all 12 volt? In other words if I could figure out where the actual wires enter the PCM, and provide...

Yes I think the MLPS is adjusted correctly, but I am unsure if it is still working OK. I replaced it once already, I have to assume it is OK. Everything else you said makes sense,... What is a TOT sensor?
