If you have a limited slip diff, wouldn't you get about the same effect by reducing the amount of friction modifier added, or tame down carbon fiber by adding more of it?

Do you need a code? I bought Rust-oleum Satin Black Enamel to do the rack on my '98... just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. IIRC, satin black is about what it started out being. I'm still debating whether to paint the (glass impregnated plastic ?) composite cross-bar end pieces as...

First two thoughts are throttle position sensor or fuel pressure low. The latter can be checked with a loaner tool pressure gauge from Autozone/etc. I assume you're not driving like a maniac :burnout: I mean if you're hitting the 5K (?) RPM rev limiter that could be described like that...

That makes it much clearer. I just went and checked mine, and sure enough I have that hose, I mean the foamy rubber Y-splitter connecting under the IAC (not to it) then immediately splits to one pipe which is the first on the intake snorkel right after the MAF sensor, and the other wraps under...

Yes it looks like we have engine differences. I'm still confused, what tubing do you need and where is it supposed to be routed, on a picture?

Look at what I linked, that is your IAC. I'm 100% sure mine has no vac or any other air tubing. I'm still wondering if you are thinking of the PCV valve. If you can provide a better quality picture of where this is on your engine (or draw a colored line on the picture showing where it is...

The IAC valve is electromechanical and has no hoses, just a wire/plug connector. http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=936527&cc=1354542&jsn=448

I am lost and don't think I can help further. Maybe someone else can or you might need to supply more pics of the whole thing, possibly where it is on the engine too.

It's fouling the link by putting an image tag at the end. I'm not sure what I'm looking at, is this connecting to the PCV valve? If so then Rock Auto shows the following as the replacement: http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1183471&cc=1354542&jsn=574

You can add pictures by uploading them to www.imgur.com, Click the green "New Post" button at the top, then after uploading, right-clicking copy the image location/link on their site, and pasting that URL into the post here using the image icon above the post box. Motor heat is usually not a...

I'm not quite clear on what you mean, but my guess is that you don't need a special Ford part for this, that you just need to take the line to an auto parts store, or measure the nipples it attaches to, to get the inner diameter, then have them cut you the appropriate length of standard vac line...

Your PATS anti-theft isn't working. What exactly do you mean by "the blue transceiver by the key cylinder was hanging loose so I put it back in place"? Do you mean hanging loose was the state you found it in, or that you have begun taking the steering column apart and saw it then? If the...

I would use a multimeter to trace where the power stops in the circuit, but if you want a quick relay test then on the diagram, swap the fuel pump relay with the Wide Open Throttle A/C Cutoff Relay, assuming they are the same type as shown on the diagram. If the pump then works, just as a...

Heh, it seems that there is more than one thing that could be called an FPR, fuel pump relay or fuel pump return. The fuel pump relay does not cut power in an accident, rather the inertia switch does, is the last thing in series right before the pump. WHY would someone want to drive with it...

I would hit up some junkyards, but I'd be as happy with them gone (one less thing to wash around) and use some gasoline to try to get the adhesive goo off.

^ Timing (and location) is everything for a used car sale. You can't kick yourself for getting the best deal you could at the time... BUT, the more patient you are, and the more legwork you do, the better the value. Then again, we're talking sub-$1000 differences, sometimes it is easier to...

Often on craigslist your first bites will be people (or small time dealers) looking to pick up vehicles cheap and flip them for a profit. If you want $2900 for it then state "Firm", or list it a bit higher like $3100 with "OBO". That should weed out some people who'd offer under $2500 so you...

Is the problem present every moment the engine is running or only intermittent and if intermittent, when? I would hook up a scan tool (OBDII dongle) and use Forscan to look at live data. See the "Misfires Advanced and Troubleshooting" info 3/4ths of the way down this page...

Yes, let's call the extra plug and wire a test lead. Connect the test lead one by one on one side of the pack, then the other side. If you find one not firing, test the same coil on the other side of the pack. If both sides aren't firing, that coil is "probably" bad (still could be connector...

^ My reservoir ran dry, ABS didn't engage so seemed to not take in any air, to not need bled. After the brake line repair I took it out in wet weather and got ABS to engage a few times which should purge any air out if present, and had no change in brake pedal firmness meaning it did fine...

There should be a fuse & relay diagram in your owners manual. On my '98, in the power distribution box under the hood there is one big 50A "Ignition switch, starter relay" fuse, and a starter relay. You can use a multimeter there measuring for power in and out at both (out of relay with key in...

Auto really doesn't bother me except in the case of making a sharp right hand turn, accelerating from a stop in wet weather. Every time it rains (or snows, never dry) and I hit the stop sign at the end of my street and turn 90' right, 4WD kicks in for a ~half second. This I believe is due to...

This puzzles me, pretty sure my '98 switch has Auto, 4WD High and 4WD Low. Anyway you could take the shift motor off the transfer case to see if it's moving when switched and verify its alignment, but as 96eb96 mentioned you may have a little torque going to the front wheels in 2WD mode but...

Hope it works out. What did it cost? Then again an eBay sale when there aren't any others for sale, doesn't tell us much about market value.

I have no idea where to take it in your region, would ask in a Dutch electronics or automotive forum, the latter possibly also having more ideas about where to find a replacement since AFAIK, they aren't used much if at all in the US where most of us are located.

Since it's Not My Money :p ... if you're going to the trouble of replacing the radiator, the gunk has probably also chewed up the water pump seal and I'd replace the pump while I'm at it, considering a '94 4.0L pump is only $27 delivered and you're saving having to fool with coolant a second...

A locksmith can only tell you whether someone with locksmithing skills can repair it. Did it suffer direct physical damage? I'm just wondering if it's something relatively minor like the soldered on switch mechanism broke and the locksmith doesn't solder or use a multimeter to determine that...

Have you tried asking for the key at junk/salvage yards? Is there any idea what failed on the key you have? Perhaps it can be cannibalized for unique components and the circuit recreated in a project box that stays with the vehicle instead of in your pocket?

rez123, I have probably edited and added to my post since you last read it. I seem to edit a lot. :cool:

What have you done to try to bypass it? To what extent is the vehicle operational? Does it crank (starter working)? Do you have spark? Do you have fuel? Did any of these functions begin to work due to your bypass attempt? I have never seen one in person, but based on a couple pictures, my...

What does coolant bubbled out of radiator mean? Can you take a picture of what drain plug you pulled when nothing came out? That doesn't make sense if the radiator has coolant in it. Is it overheating? Maybe it just didn't overheat and/or your temp sensor is bad? I suppose it's possible...

Yes that's not radio. I can only speculate that possibly the same wiring harness is used whether there are the stereo controls in the wheel or not, that something he did damaged that wiring, or maybe he was under the dash too and knocked the radio connector (in the back of it) loose which is...

I assume you have radio controls in your steering wheel? If so maybe the plastic warped or broke when he pulled the module out, or he forgot to plug it in or pinched a wire. I'd take it back to the guy who worked on it (especially) if you paid him for the work.

There's an up side to that. If it was really intrusive into the wiring then it would be that much more of a PITA to troubleshoot or remove now. Plus yours doesn't have PATS so it's at least more of a challenge than just forcing a screwdriver in the ignition cylinder. Lots of people used to...

Shouldn't be hard to remove, just a few minutes under the dash. Odds are that its installation cut an existing wire that was spliced into it. Simple unsplice it and reconnect the two factory wire ends back together. Solder and heatshrink tubing over it. 3rd wire? Maybe power, cut that and...

Don't have the OHV engine, so can't directly help but I assume one end of the vac line is connected to something (what/where?). Pics might help.

^ I have the images separate from the PDF if there's anything that can be done with them: https://mega.nz/#!HBoVDLaC!LSbcxYePvOsXz31khaKa10G_2gJ1wNic_6QfEN9iLAA

I archived this as a PDF before the pictures disappeared, at least the opening post with all the pics: https://mega.nz/#!HQ4AFYIb!IG6GRPklT4wADrkul478h-OfPc1x-hAwMVGsozqfV_M The process is pretty straightforward. IMO the main things to remember are don't jack up (only) one wheel at a time (I...
