Driving home from work the other day the car started a miss. A VERY pronounced miss that I could feel at 50+mph. Once I came to a stop the car was romping(stumbling) pretty bad. I had the codes read and it's po174 bank 2 lean. I wondered if it was a COP so I took the covers off and pulled...

Hey guys. Hope everyone is doing well. My mark has tokico front struts. Have no idea what type of springs are on it but they are regular ride height sprints (black). I got them from Greg (in Houston) if anyone remembers him. In the last week the car has suddenly started oscillating...

I just took a trip to San Antonio and back and got 22mpg. As you all know that is NOT good. I knew about the p1519 and reached behind the plenem and manually moved both sides back and forth hoping to free them a bit and then cleared the code. After the trip the code is back. I plan on...

I have a 97 mark viii. I watched the live data of the 02 sensors to see if the catalytic converters are working correctly. What I found is one 02 sensor not reading anything. I need to know how to find which catalytic converter it is that is not working. Does anyone know the names of the...

Pressure for cylinder 5 high. I know I have a leaky valve cover and I suspect I have a exhaust manifold leak. Could maybe one of the plugs not be firing and causing high pressure in one cylinder? I also got P2C25 -- NO DTC definition found. Not sure what this is. When I bought the car it...

On one side my bracket is broken right off. Do I need to find a ford replacement or will the Energy Suspension brackets work? 1 1/16th right?

Just replaced upper/lower and end links on both sides in the front. Still get a rattle when going over bumps (in the front). Think the sway bar links are just old and need replacing? They are tight (as I checked them) but maybe worn out? I also checked to make sure everything was tight...

On my mark VIII (new to me 3rd on I've owned... 97 ) I replaced the upper/lower control arms and sway bar end links. This was the condition of the lower control arms. To note: I did not use a pickel bar to get them off.. This was the exact condition when I knocked them off After...

The last person who owned this car was a dusche. Cut/taped togeather wires... amp was literally pushed up into the corner of the trunk. Does anyone have a 1997 JBL Amp diagram /pinout? Thanks

So, I'm not sure if any of you have followed what I have done with my car lately but I'll list out what has been done lately (although this problem has been going on since before any of this work was done) New: Fuel filter plugs (found out yesterday pass side valve conver gasket is blown bad)...

So usually I start off with a bit of "what's been done lately" to help out diagnosing the issue. So here goes: Recently: --Intake manifold gaskets, IMRC cleaning, throttle body gasket, throttle control bolt in throttle body ( bought one.. it was the vacuum leak I was searching for ) --Also...

My car right now takes a long time to get up to temperature. It will eventually get up to temp but I can be 10+ miles away from home by this time ( on a warm day ). Sometimes the temp of the car will dip back down a bit. Never overheats, doesn't loose coolant. All new coolant. Does...

This was the vac leak on my car. Is there a procedure on how to adjust this screw. I just screwed it all the way in. Figured out it's the idle adjust. Where should the car idle at? The car is idling around 900rpm's right now...

I've replaced the upper/lower intake manifold gaskets, Throttle body gasket, and IAC + gasket. Also replaced the tube going from the upper intake manifold to where they dryer is (whatever that's called) Also replaced both tubes that form a T on top of the intake manifold. I replaced the intake...

On Sunday morning I got up early as I wanted to go by this garage sale. On the way I stopped by the bank, grabbed some cash... drove 3 miles and saw a garage sale sign and decided.. well might as well right? So I stopped, they had nothing so I jumped back in the car and went 3 more miles to...

Before the debacle where my mother hit a curb and ruined 2 hubs I am now going to try to fix the issue I had been wanting to fix over the holiday break. :D So, like I said in my previous thread there was a noise in the front end so I replaced both sway bar end links. After that the right...

So after putting on the new hub I drive out of the driveway and before I get to the end of the street I hear noise from the back left again. I figure either the half-shaft was damaged or I didn't torque down the nut tight enough. I torqued the nut to 150ft- lb's and then gave it all I had to...

Here goes the last things that have happened to the car. 4 Weeks ago: I replaced the sway bar end links to stock links. Around this time I start hearing power steering noises when I turn the wheel... think it's a leak. 3 weeks ago :Start hearing a loud clunk in front. It's final's week so...

When I replaced my rear hubs last year I couldn't get the hub out of the knuckle so I had to have someone do it for me (the whole thing). I used ford factory parts and new (OEM) halfshafts. Now, about a year later the back left hub is (very) bad. There is a part of the walk-through that...
