    External Air Temperature Sensor

    bump I have an 02 explorer that reads from 99 - 102 all the time. Does it sound like an sensor error or a ground problem? Where is the sensor located? How hard is it to change?

    basic question about booting to XP disc on startup

    My laptop bit the dust. I get a UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME error on startup. Microsoft's website has directions on how to fix it, and it obviously starts with booting to the XP disc. I put the disc in, turn it on, and I never get to a screen where I can select repair. Do I have to do...

    any photoshop buffs? I have a project... (07 SportTrac)

    I need someone to take pictures like this and completely redesign the front fascia/bumper as they see fit. Add bigger tires, different rims, etc. Add a roof rack... The doors, fenders, hood, tailgate and cab must remain untouched though....

    Ford Contour SVT or Taraus SHO

    the back seats are upholstered to have lumbar and side bolsters, which most people aren't used to seeing in a rear bench seat, so they feel small, but it's to keep you from flying around :D

    Ford Contour SVT or Taraus SHO

    That was a yamaha joint venture actually. I love my Contour SVT. You should be able to find them for under 8K with reasonable miles. all are leather, most have a sunroof. Only reliability flaw is the plastic impellor in the water pump (replace it with a metal one at the dealer). I would...

    Taurus Transmission Question

    have you checked the fluid level? 95% of warranty returns are from low fluid and burning the clutch packs. Is the fluid a clean red or dark red?

    95 bronco question

    what do you mean "work." A bronco is 5 on 5.5 pattern, so not the same as an explorer. If the tire is at least 11" wide for street use or 12.5" for offroad use and will clear the fenders, I can't see why not.

    my old and CURRENT projects, 350+hp Contour SVT, CJ8 rockcrawler, POS scout, 22 PICS

    For those of you who don't know me, I used to have a 95 EB with TT, add-a-leaf, shackle and body lift, running 33" cooper STTs, Safari AWRs or occasionally 33" TSLs. It was an awesome ride, but I was ready for a change and a new build. The day I sold it I also had a 1974...

    how many of you have broken a flexplate?

    no, it's not right, and I know others have this problem Ford has a documented Technical Service Bulletin, so they know its a problem. The old design was a 2 piece, welded together, the new flexplate is one piece.

    how many of you have broken a flexplate?

    well after pulling my trans/tcase/exhaust it turns out that my motor is NOT seized, I've just broken yet another flywheel. This is now my 3rd flywheel. I was wondering how many others have broken them ON 4.0L OHV, YEARS 1991-1996 Ford knows that there was a problem because they have updated...

    b/h inspection plate on 95 auto??? (removing motor ?s)

    Well, looks like I'll be pulling the motor on my 95 :( We pulled the starter and found small metal shavings on the inside lip of the flywheel. I think a bolt might be backing out of the flywheel and finally caused motor problems. I crawled under there last night and I can't find an...

    my motor is seized... any guesses why?

    it did not overheat, but it got worse as the engine got hotter (until I shut it down) ... the oil pressure was always ok.

    my motor is seized... any guesses why?

    nothing yet... tongiht I'm going to pull the plugs, drain the oil, pull the starter, try to turn it over by hand and hopefully find an inspection plate and take a look at the flywheel....

    my motor is seized... any guesses why?

    ok, I finally got the motor to turn over with the starter, but it was VERY slow and wouldn't even come close to starting...

    my motor is seized... any guesses why?

    I can get a 98 OHV motor shipped to my loading dock with 40K miles on it for $500, and then install it myself. I'm not afraid to replace the motor, but if it is just a freeze plug or something cheaper than $500, I would rather do that.
