Looking to buy a drop-in performance fuel pump for a 97 mk8. Pm me if you have something available. Thanks.

Is there an alternator rebuild kit you can get and do it yourself or do you just have to buy a new one?

My local ace hardware has high school girls running the register and cutting the keys .... they don't ask anything lol. I was thinking I paid like $30 for the pats key I bought.

My 97 only came with one key (and no key fobs) so I bought a blank off ebay. Then I took it to ace hardware where they cut it to match. Followed up by doing the pats reprogram procedure and bam ... 2 keys. As for a regular key ... don't see how that would be any different.

Replaced #8 coil with a motorcraft unit (made in china) and took it for a test drive ... it appears my misfire is now gone. I then proceeded to check my battery voltage while running (and warm). It was right at 12v at idle in gear. I tried swapping in a different battery and it read the same...

After the coil arrives and I swap it in and hopefully fixes the misfire, I'll try swapping the battery out of my truck into the MK8 to see if the idle voltage reads any higher.

My battery has left me stranded a couple times in the past 6 months. Both times I still had power to run the lights, radio, etc but when I try to start the car, all I would get is a clicking noise. It would seem like this would point to a loose or bad connection but the terminals are good and...

It started again on the way to work this morning ftl. Luckily I was able to datalog the misfires with my phone (through the bluetooth obd adapter and android torque app) and sure enough #8 is misfiring alot. So I guess I'll order a single motorcraft coil tonight. It's weird because it only...

After reading the reviews of aftermarket cop's and looking at the price of motorcraft cop's I decided to clean my current ones and reinstall them with hopes they would be ok. After a quick test drive, everything seems to be normal ftw!

By oem do you mean motorcraft cuz they are freaking expensive. Surely there is another option?

what about the msd coils? Got the valve covers back on a little bit ago, now just have to reassemble everything I took off to get the driver side valve cover off. Woot! I sure hope this foxes my problem.

Well I was able to get both sides off today and holy crap the stuff I had to remove/move on the driver side. Dang thing will probably never run right again after all the stuff I removed and moved out of the way. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be getting both sides back on and then some new cop's...

Well after my last post I decided to go ahead and replace the valve cover gaskets as spark plug holes number 6 and 8 were full of oil. So far I've been able to get the passenger side off (had to jack up the engine on that side to get it off so I guess the motor mount is also wore out on that...

Still no codes so I pulled the plugs and cop's a little bit ago. There were a mix of what appear to be original motorcraft cop's and no name brand cops that has been installed on the car sometime during it's life. The car has 110,000 miles on it so I assume it's a good time to just replace all...

It's a 97 and I dont remember the tach moving when it happened while driving. It happens so quickly that I'm not sure the tach could even react that fast. I definitely noticed the tach changing when it was happening at idle though. I'll take it for a drive and report back, maybe with a video...

So today I was travelling to a friends house driving along normal when I got caught behind a school bus travelling about 35 or 40 mph. As we started making our way up a decent size hill, I noticed my car was lugging a bit and felt like it needed to kick down a gear. Just after noticing this...

front springs have sold, rears are still available

Up for sale is a set of strutmasters springs from a mark viii conversion kit. I recently installed lowering springs and no longer need these. What you see below in the pics is what you get. $75 picked up in Greenville, SC.

dang I'd like to have a back up neon for my 97 silver mkviii lsc ... could you pm me some more detailed pics of one of the silver neons? I'd be interested in the $185 option.

^that is the re-branded walbro pump right? but my 97 needs a pump compatible with the adjustable voltage from the ecu, not the walbro
