    PKF II problem URGENT!

    I had to temporarily disconnect it so I could go to work tonight. One problem I had was the remote start would work if the key was in the ignition (not turned on, just inserted) and I hit the start button on the remote. But the remote would NOT work if the key was not in the ignition. So that...

    Center Console Wiring For Blower/RC

    I also was able to pick up a washer fluid sensor. I know one wire is to the MC and the other is for power source. Does anyone know what the input supply voltage is supposed to be?

    Center Console Wiring For Blower/RC

    There is a complete wiring guide for Message Center here on the board, but what I needed was the wiring codes (color and where they go) for the extra wires in the main harness that run to the rear heat/ac and stereo controls. I did however figure out the pink/white stripe wire is the power...

    Is this part easy to replace and what is it called exactly?

    I would have to say it is a "steering knuckle". As far as replacing it, its not completely seperated, so I wouldnt worry about it right now. If the shops are telling you to replace a bunch of stuff, they are looking at it from a $$$ standpoint. Motor mounts do the same thing over time. Its...

    Poll: White Walls out or in?

    Not only would it depend on the truck (Lift/lower/etc) but I believe it depends on TYPE of vehicle. Like 2 door coupes look better with black wall more often than a pickup or SUV would. So with an Ex I would say its a 50/50 shot, sedans and coupes are more like 70/30 (70 being black wall)

    misfiring

    My 01 was doing the same thing a little while back, turned out to be a bad spark plug. They were Bosch Platinums that were only 4 months old, but one of them went bad. So start of checking the plugs. If it is throwing a CEL you might get the codes read to tell you which cylinder is not firing...

    Bye Bye PCM

    You might check around on eBay too, they have stuff thats still in perfect working order from like a wrecked vehicle. I would go with Kragen or O'Reillys over AZ though.

    What Brand Plugs and Wires?

    I always used to use Bosch Platinum 1's in my cars, but recently have been having problems with non quality plugs from the Zone (con artists), so now I have switched back to oem Motorcraft platinums and couldnt be happier, think the truck is happier to. Running them with the high end set of...

    Running hot, 2001 sport.

    Glad you got it fixed. A lot of times it happens that we (as people) tend to overlook the simplest things sometimes. We try to outsmart the problem and end up spending a butt load of money we didnt have to. My dad ended up buying a rebuild engine on time because he could get the check oil...

    Running hot, 2001 sport.

    Its possible during the flush, some gunk jamp up the thermostat. Check the coolant levels also. Best bet you will need to replace the t-stat.

    High amp alt

    Sounds like some of the diodes are on thr frits with it. Be sure to check all cable connections to see if they are all clean and tight. If the connections are good, its a possibly bad ALT

    Digital OBD Cluster.

    OK, this is a good question for an automotive ECU knowledgeable person. Im not sure what year they started using them, but in Jeep Wranglers and the PT Cruisers, you can get your instrument cluster to pull and display your OBD fault codes via the digital odometer. Do the clusters or the vehicles...

    Need help with idle/run problem PLZ

    Ok, Heres the update. I took it down to the morons at AutoZone and had em read the codes. It had two hard fault codes stored in memory. One was like P0304 for the O2 sensor and the other was P0174 for a misfire on #6. So i got a new plug and it solved the problem. I guess one of the decided to...

    Need help with idle/run problem PLZ

    Ok, the other day I bit the bullet and ran SeaFoam through my intake till it drown, then let it sit as per directions, then cranked her up. The thing must have been pretty badly caked up. It smoked like a freight train for a good while burning all the impurities out. I did notice a big...
