    Misfires on cylinders 5 6 7 and 8

    As some of you know, a couple weeks ago I had misfires on the passenger side and lean codes and a loud knocking. Replacing the secondary tensioner fixed all that. Now it is misfiring on all the driver side cylinders and have a lean code on the passenger side. It doesn't sound like the other...

    Timing Chain? Yep it's the timing chain

    Well I think I narrowed my issues down to a particular spot. Unfortunately I think it has to do with the passenger side timing chain and or cam chain. I read de-marko's thread about his timing chain teardown and a lot of it sounds the same :(. If anyone read my thread about the P0174 code...

    Photobucket question

    When I go to edit a picture like just blurring or color change, the picture that I am editing is smaller than the original. And if I go to save the changes as a copy, the new one is, again, smaller. Is there any way to edit the original size?

    Pektel Fbird18 Pics

    Pete (Pektel) stopped over saturday morning and lent some of his detailing knowledge to me. I had never claybarred a car before, so we washed my car, claybarred it, he then applied some kind of glaze to fill in micro scratches in the clearcoat, and then we used his Rubbish Boys wax. The car...

    Brake Lights ?

    I searched and didn't find this question ever asked. The brake lights on our LS's suck. I was driving behind one yesterday evening, they had their lights on and when the brakes were lit up, honestly I could barely tell. The third brake light was what caught my attention. If that is burned...

    Hey guys, I don't have a Mark but my buddy does. We saw some killer 10 spoke 19in wheels on a MKS at the dealer and we were wondering if those wheels would fit on a 98 Mark VIII. Does anyone know? Thanks!

    Front suspension

    I need help. With my car that is. I did search but couldn't find any answers about the stock springs. My driver front spring is broken and I need to replace it, obviously. All I could find were threads about aftermarket springs. I don't have the money to go buy all that, so I just want to...

    Light Bar installed....and....Mustang vs LS

    Last night we installed a light bar in my friend's 01 Mustang GT convertable. It was surprisingly easy to install, and the wiring for the brake light was super simple too. The pic is from my cell phone as the sun was going down and we were putting the interior back together. He is slowly...

    steering is jacked; w/ picture

    The last couple days while turning at low speeds, when the wheel gets back to straight, it felt like something is loose. After that though, it's tight. Last night the wheel sat straight, this morning I noticed that it is cocked to the left a little. Any idea what would cause this? I have not...

    01 V8 118,500 miles Dropped it off on friday morning at a reputable transmission shop to get new fluid and filter. When they opened it up, there were metal shavings all over the bottom of the pan. It's been shifting weird lately so I knew sooner or later it would need to be repaired...

    V8 emblem placement ??

    I just got these in the mail from ebay today. I'd like to put some v8 logos on the fender, but I'm not sure where, if anywhere, looks best. I have seen the retro ford V8 some people have put on their cars, and they look great, but I've never seen them on a dark color car. If anyone has...

    Different Side Marker Question

    I searched and it doesn't seem anyone has tried this. Seeing as how the side marker lights aren't neccessary, the newer LS's don't even have them, I came up with this: paint the lens with chrome spray paint. I did a quick photochop of what I mean. It seems almost nobody likes the chrome...

    Strange noise from tire while turning

    You know the sound big knobby truck tires make when turning or just driving on the highway? Well my drivers side front wheel makes that sound when turning left. I at first thought it might be my snow tires I had on, but after putting my stock wheels and tires back on, it's still doing it. Any...
