yes the fuel pressure regulator is on the driver's side fuel rail. The fuel pressure pulse damper is on the passenger rail up near the front. the cup is part of the fuel rail & the damper itself fits into the cup w/ an internal snapring. I sourced a used one from racebronco2 via ebay & even...

So got the rear bags replaced this week with some Westars & then the front decided to actively start leaking off. Since i did just do the rears I'd prefer to not chuck it all & convert to springs if i can avoid it. Looks like the fronts are Westars as-7300 & as-7301 which have become...

So a friend looking over my 98 thought the fuel pressure pulse damper might have a bit of gas smell & seemed a tad damp. Was intending to go ahead & replace it as cheap piece of mind even if not truly needed quiet yet, but apparently it's made from unobtanium. Anyone have suggestions on where...

Well that's one i didn't think of, will check it out this eve after it gets a bit darker. Thanks!

So having a couple cruise related issues, wanting help narrowing it down. The lights for the cruise buttons on the right side of the steering wheel pulse on & off regularly and then will eventually just come on after awhile. Other issue is sometimes cruise will simply not set & when it refuses...

ok that's a relief, i probably just missed the window...if it even warned me when to do it in the 1st place. It's not the nicest scanner in the 1st place.

Fighting with my wife's 98 & got a couple codes i could use some assist with. Autozone gave me a printout of p0500 for VSS sensor "A". I see there are 2 sensors on the trans, the one on the tailhousing & the one halfway along the case, which is considered "A" or is that somewhere else...

Mind dropping me the Ford part # on the ones you have to verify?

Sent an email to bruce a month or so ago after finding mention of him having buttons from...2018? 2019? He never replied back to me either. Bought a few things on Ebay via carlos, can ask but it's not likely since he'd have put it up for auction already if he had it available.

Hello everyone. So of course i have the dreaded Gen2 broken washer button, missing spring etc. Digging deep into the forum search history it appears these are straight unobtanium & the most common suggestion appears to be to drill a hole somewhere in the dash for a separate dedicated washer...

And the right answer is?

Ok after much time spent & multiple FPDMs including a 2nd proper one, I've been told by the mechanic that he think's it the security system shutting down the FPDM. He's jumpering around the box entirely to give the pump constant juice w/ the key on. So...what are the odds he's right & is...

Hullo all. Had some issues with my 98 not wanting to run @ anything over idle, sputtering, jerking, refusal to rev, etc etc. Got a loaner test gauge & it was showing me ~20 at running at idle so i assumed bad/weak pump. Dropped it off @ local shop due to weather/other issues & after the pump...

Thanks. Sadly i ended up taking a bunch of stuff out of the way & still unbolting motor mount & rocking engine. Folk weren't kidding when they said the driver's side isn't much fun. Now that's done i have to diagnose engine that runs ok & idle but doesn't want to rev, but stutters &...

Hello. New member here who just picked up an 97 Mark & I have oil on 3 of 4 plugs on driver's side. Been cruising the various forums for a bit to find out how to best go about getting the VC off & replaced. So far it appears that pulling the DS motor mount bolt & raising that side of engine...
