    Anouther running hot

    how does it do with the ac on? with it on the cooling fan runs max all the time. without the ac the fan doesn't come on until the R. Should also see what letter it's on when the fan kicks on without the ac. Your gauge might be off?

    97 GenII driversside O2 sensor removal

    I took my wiper cowl out and disconnected the hood struts and propped the hood near vertical. Then used a 02 sensor socket with longg extension + a swivel and removed it from the top. Taking the wiper cowl out greatly helped disconnecting the connector as well. Probably should thread it in from...

    exhaust kit

    That's what I have... you can see my signature... 2 1/2. I bought the pipe kit, a dynomax x pipe muffler and 2 bullet mufflers and then took it over to my exhaust shop. With that big dynomax muffler, clearancing the gas tank heat shield with a big hammer was necessary but not a big deal. I will...

    Mark taking a LONG time to start, runs perfect once started, can't figure it out

    Yes, I have 11K miles ago. Walbro 255. The fuel pressure checks out. If anything the car smells kinda rich when it gets going. I bought new coils. Hopefully they help the issue.

    Do I have a coil pack problem?

    In regards to my hard to start condition I've tested the coil packs (4 tower 1996 style edis)... I get no primary resitance from the 3 pins. The specifications are supposed to be .3- 1.0 ohms. Tested both coils and get 0.0 ohms reading on any combination of the three pins. Checked the...

    Mark taking a LONG time to start, runs perfect once started, can't figure it out

    Mark taking a LONG time to start, runs perfect once started, can't figure it out

    Soooo it's NOT fixed :( I've also replaced the camshaft position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, ran another ground from the block to the body and the battery to the body. I checked the fuel pressure, with the key on it jumps to 36 psi IN the morning it usually starts up first try but at...

    Mark taking a LONG time to start, runs perfect once started, can't figure it out

    So I fixed the issue yesterday and it was the ground next to the battery. I loosened the 8mm bolt that secures it and moved the ground a while back and it chipped the paint under the ground. So looking at the bottom of the ground it had paint chips stuck to it. I didn't realize until yesterday...

    Mark taking a LONG time to start, runs perfect once started, can't figure it out

    I hope it's not the IAC that was horrifying. It's got a new Motorcraft one about 6k miles ago. Yeah I figured that's what that sound was too. Thanks I'll try that Today I'm going to put the fresher battery from my other car in it and see if that makes any difference

    Mark taking a LONG time to start, runs perfect once started, can't figure it out

    1996 Mark with a walbro 255 pump, has exhaust and a blue oval tune I'm having what I'm sure is a fuel related starting issue. When started cold it will crank forever and won't catch. I've cycled the key on and hear the pump prime every time. Even after priming on and off a few times it...

    Went from strut masters spring setup to vogtland 1.6" drop springs and not happy!

    I've seen the holes re drilled just above the regular hole. I wouldn't slot it... Re drilling the strut body would give you a better ride then cutting the spring. It would also allow you to keep the shocks in their preferred range of motion/ more stroke etc Idk think you would want to cut a...

    97-98 MK VIII Shift Points

    On my 96 I believe the stock shift point is 5600. That's right at the horsepower peak for a gen one with the gen one intake manifold. When I had Lonnie do my blue oval tune I asked him to make the shift point 6000. He advised me against it but I said do it and anyways he was right. It does go...
