My check engine light came on today. The codes i got are as follows 326, 327, 336 and 337. All egr pressure sensor voltage related either too high or too low. What gives i just replaced the dpfe about a month ago. Car runs fine aside from a rough idle because of a few dogged vacuum leaks. Around...

Ok guys im on my 3rd set of intake gaskets right now and they just started leaking again at the front by the crossover. These are brand new fel pro gaskets and the factory install procedure was followed correctly. What do you guys think warped intake maybe? They didn't leak right after the...

Does the exhaust have to be pulled to replace the front diff mounts or can i get away with lowering it some?

A few days ago my car started running badly again. It's tough to start in the morning and the idle shoots up to 2k when it does start. When it's warm it idles between 600 and 900. I'm getting 14-15mpg and it misses at idle. It has new plugs and wires, a new dpfe, new intake gaskets, and all new...

Anybody know anything about these? My crappy wearever pads are really noisy coming to a stop so im looking to get something quieter for the least amount of money possible. Rock auto has these on close out for like 7 bucks an axle right now.

Hello everyone my car has been running poorly over the past few days. I'm getting 12-13mpg and the engine is misfiring at idle. I am getting code 332: egr flow insufficient. Is this more than likely a dpfe failure? I know the egr tube isn't clogged but i am unsure about the valve. All the vacuum...

Hello everyone many months ago i purchased a 94 mark viii that had a blown motor. I recently finished installing a low mile engine and am now driving the car. I really love the way it drives runs smooth with tons of power. My latest concern is that over the past few days, increasingly tonight...

Today i took my imrcs apart for a cleaning. To do so i had to heat up the screws holding the butterflies on as a couple of them stripped out. When i went to wire wheel the butterflies a layer of plating came off of them. It didn't come off of the one i didn't heat. Why are these plated? Can i...

I have been reading up on cleaning/rebuilding these things over the past few days. The ones off my new motor have been soaking in my parts washer for a day or so to loosen all the crap on them. Unfortunately the bearings at each end are locked up because the engine sat for awhile. I don't want...

Hey everyone i am prepping my new motor to install later this week. This evening i was removing the oil pan bolts to install a new gasket and 3 of them rounded off thanks to corrosion caused by satanic road salt. I have thus far tried penetrating oil, vice grips, welding a nut on, a big pair of...

Looking for input on a color combo for my new engine it looks really bad right now. The car is silver with a grey interior.

Is there anything of interest for our cars from this engine? I can get parts for free from a truck that is being scrapped by someone i know. So if there is anything i can get from it i would be stupid to pass it up.

Hey guys I'm heading out later this week to buy a used engine for my mark. I'm looking to find out which method of engine removal would be the easiest. I don't have a lift just an engine hoist. I have always pulled engines up to remove them in the past but i don't know how practical that is with...

Well after all the work i've done to this car over the past week it repays me with blown head gaskets. Past owner let it over heat when the vcrm went out. It's pressurizing the cooling system, blowing water from the tail pipes after running for 15 minutes, hard starting, coolant looks like a...

During my valve cover job i neglected to remove the dip stick and the handle broke off, it's now stuck in the tube. I tried gluing a screw to it but the glue didn't hold. My question is can i use a dip stick from a 2nd gen? I recall seeing a few being parted out around here but no 1st gens...

Hey guys i need some help getting this infernal valve cover off. My plug tower seals were leaking really badly so i am going through and replacing all the seals but now that im in waist deep i wish i had left them alone. I have so far removed the drivers side ignition coil, wiring harness, power...

Would it impair exhaust flow if i used a single muffler in the mid pipe instead of dual mufflers? The previous owner cut the mufflers off and i am running low on parts money. Maybe a glass pack? What size is the stock pipe?

Hey all i'm having some belt troubles on my new mark. The belt cut a big groove into one of the tensioner bolt bosses because the idler pulley is missing. The threads are pretty much torn out of the idler pulley boss. If anybody here knows what thread size that bolt is so i can buy the right...

Hello everyone last weekend i bought a nice 1994 mark viii that has a few issues. The engine is running pretty rough at all rpms but smoother at higher rpm. I went and pulled the codes today, it flashed code 225 for knock sensors failing to be found with the engine running. I performed the koeo...
