Ditto , easy with a drift and a hammer

ops please move to general

Thanks Udmsvt:) :)

I agree with the neutral safety switch . prob bad contacts in the switch . Next time it acts up pull the connector off and with the car in park check for continuity between the terminals on the switch . If its infinity its a bad switch if its 0hms its good

Check has cleared , I just checked . Thanks again

I thought this was in general section - sorry

Just wanted to let you guys know I finally discovered why my 1st gen x was hesitating. It ended up being worn rockers and pushrods (I guess not uncommon for those engines ) After the repair it ran great and had power to boot . Then after a week or so it was hesitating again , not quit the...

Udmsvt , Thanks alot for the rims , I had them mounted and they awesome.:eek: Plus the bonus I sold my old rims. Thanks again

I was able to rent the two wrenches from a local parts for free . They have a free loaner program so it cost me $00 . I was able to change the clutch without removing the shroad completely . Just unbolt the two top screws , lift up from bottom retainers and slide forward .Tthe clutch will come...

Oppps Great to deal with ya Brandon . Wheels look great and as described . Talk to ya soon:)

Glad to hear your back on the road . Glad I could help .

Someone correct me if Im wrong , but on a obdII system you can only clear with a scanner . a obdI system you can do it by disconnecting the battery . I think you can clear the codes by disconnecting the battery , but the truck may run rough for a while til the computer relearns.

Hows the condition of the bolt threads , or are there some threads actually missing out of the bolt holes? The heli coils wont work because the hole is too deep ? They should work though , I never ran into a problem using them before . I may have never ran into a situation like yours before , I...

Theres some definitely cool ideas there , but the rear scoops wouldnt be functional , especially tucked behind the cab , dont look real . The box wasnt fitted very well , could have been much tighter . Not sure if bigger rims or lowering the truck was the right solution , but its not right . The...

Im with Jim on that one , too high . It does look cool , I like it , I think , cant tell with the hood and doors open . Gotta lower that puppy.

Oh , I was looking at several synthetics and they cover a wide range of fluids . dextron , atf , mecron , mecronV . So Im thinking a synthetic will be your best bet. If you can get it .

Not sure what you meant as far as the two center bolts .Did you strip the treads out by over torqueing or did you mean something else? Stripped threads can be repaired by installing a heili-coil , bought at most auto stores . Will have to be drilled over size , taped out , then the heili-coil...

How much to get it shipped from a online store or Amsoil . Might be alot cheaper.

I hope you got it next to nothing , cause a frame shop wont be cheap and I hope you find a good one . You have alot of work ahead of yourself . Figure out if it might be better to grab another x that doesnt have that much exstensive damage . You can run into alot of problems if your not that...

The green looks cool but the socks dont match . You went to school like that?

On a OBDI system you can check base timing , by disconnecting the SPOUT connection and then check your timing as usual . You can also check your full advance timing , by running a KOER test , Key on engine running . With the spout disconnected and your in test mode , after a minute or so the...

Check this site out for the radiator . I have used them and have been happy so far. Dead Link Removed

As far as the fluids , I wouldnt use anything but what the manufacture recommends , which is mercon fluids for both . You dont have to to use Fords brand mercon .

This my understanding of the OBDII system . You have to use a special scan tool , such as the dealers use .A matter of fact if you disconnect the battery , itll erase stored operating parameters and the truck will run rough for a period of time until the computer relearns the info . The OBDI...

I have 53 to 62 inch lbs for the upper intake . Just curious did they clear the codes for you? Was the codes cleared after you changed the o-rings? Did the x run better after you changed them or the same?

Did you buy a inch torque wrench or a foot pound torque wrench . Youll need a inch pound torque wrench to tighten them to 123 inch pounds not foot pounds , you could crush or break a few things at 123 ft lbs. Also make sure the o-rings didnt shift when insatlling them . Try not to move the...

You said Low Oil , Right? Not transmission fluid? I cant believe low oil would cause this problem , but if it was low enough to actually bind the engine , I guess , but probably not . Was the truck cold in reverse when this happened? Reverse can run as high as 300psi and when the fluid is cold...

If it was a lean situation , then you can use starting fluid , spray it around where the intake bolts to the heads , do it while its cold , if yu you notice any rpm change then you have a intake leak . A safer way is use water in a spray bottle , not as flamable . and if you notice excessive...

Hey peeps , Have you checked the coolant sensor , it might not show its faulty , but could be out of range , ive had this happen and I posted my findings in another thread . Check to make sure its within range , ohms = temperature . It never sounded like you had a intake leak to begin with ...

Id try cleaning it with throttle body cleaner , first. It maybe just gunked up . Dont despare , it might be a simple solution.

Its mounted towards the top of the engine , close to the TB , and mounted to the intake , it has two wires and cylinder shaped , not where it bolts. Its about 4.5" long and is held on by two bolts. Its real easy to change , maybe 10 minutes, if your slow .

Sounds like a IAC to me , noooooooooooo doubt.

A bad EGR gasket would sound like a exhaust leak and usuaaly is located on or near the intake . Also smog pump tubes can break , and can be located near the intake , and will have a exhaut leak sound.

I would check out the clutch fan as well . If its worn it could squeel , especially under a load , since this is when it actually slips . If it has bad bearings and is worn , spins easily , itll squeel . Check it out.

ChuntMD , I sent you a e-mail.

Reflashing the pcm shouldnt take long at all , and from what I've read has fixed several x's .Reflashing the pcm is similar to reflashing your computers bios its , its an update .AS far as know I know , the codes are the same , but not 100% sure. Thats a long time to wait for that manuel , hope...

They can range from roughly $10 - $300 , but a $10 one will do just fine . They are called multi-meters and they will measure ac/dc volts , ohms , and usually up to 10 amps . Try to get a digital one , because there more accurate .Most parts stores carry them and eletronic/electrical supply...
