my own experiences on owning many vehicles is that bug deflectors only deflect bugs onto the windshield. Exactly what you don't want. They are completely useless. But enjoy! Just my 0.02

what year Mustang MAF can you use?

mine did before I did TT and shackles.

push in the schrader valve into a rag with a screw driver..

I highly recommend cutting the access panel it is very easy to do with a dremmel or cutting disc. Took me 30 mins to cut the panel and now I can change fuel pumps in 10 mins. I went through 3 CRAP fuel pumps from CHEAP sources and should have just went with the NAPA drop in the first time. As...

here is the thing my wheel hubs do not need replacement so until they do this is my solution. Does anyone know if this affects the auto 4x4?

umm cutting the cats out in BC is DEFINITELY not legal.

For sure not rotors or hub bearing it did it when I got the truck and after I put new brakes on all around. From what I understand it is one of the sensors in the front hub. Not sure which one it is but you have to replace the entire hub from what I know.

So I have had the pulsing brake pedal now for 3 years and am sick of it. How to I disable the ABS system on my X? Can I just unplug a wheel sensor?

FYI I just went through 3 bad all in a row fuel pumps for my 96 X and let me tell you I am glad as HELL on the first one that I cut an access panel from inside the truck. It took only a matter of 25 mins the first time to cut the hole and 5 mins to change the pump there after. HIGHLY recommend...

This is exactly what I have in my X I got F150 springs arched 2" with an add a leaf and just under normal driving they were back to normal within a year or so. I now just have home made shackles that look and work way better. But I do like the f150 springs its a little rougher ride but when u...

so I got some intake cleaner, cleaned the IAC, dumped 2 bottles of high concentrate injector cleaner in and have not had a problem since, "knock on wood".

ok took out & cleaned 1 & 2 plugs.. They looked almost new.. a little bit of corrosion on plug #1 and nothing on plug #2. Took apart entire intake and cleaned it out with some intake cleaner including the throttle body. Will test drive tomorrow on way to work to see if she dies again. If so are...

just pull any 2 plugs? or cyl 1 & 2?

I think it was NGK plugs.. but it was like 4 years ago now.. just not many miles on them.. and wires are just NAPA brand wires..

I have the weirdest problem with my X lately. I am getting P300, P301, P302, P1000. Codes the truck sputters out and dies when driving, if I pull over and reset the codes 9/10 it will start up fine and drive again for 20 mins no probs. Any idea's? I have done fuel pump, filter, FPR, new plugs...

uhh it has to be or else how are you ever going to get it out?

How do you test it?

hope its cheaper than the $1100 that ford quoted me for my fuel pump.. I did it myself for $100 and invested the other $1000.. :)

anyone recommend changing to the Accel distributor?

I got new f-150 springs with more of an arch put on them to raise the back end up a little. It is a little rougher ride but well worth it in the end.

I HIGHLY recommend cutting a hole inside the truck to do the fuel pump. I did mine that way and it was SO easy. I swap fuel pumps now in 15 mins. So when my junk yard special fuel pump dies I can just get another one and slap it in.

help anyone?

Figured out at least a little part of it.. There was a pulled out wire on the drivers window switch. Replaced that and it works now. As for the rest I don't think I will both with. They can all go up and down as I want them too so thats enough for me. thanks guys!

These codes were only thrown when I was towing my 2 place quad trailer and not at all since. Any chance of a coincidence? Maybe she does not want me to tow with her anymore?

I am running 0w30 Amsoil in mine and love it.

or just make your own..

I got a lean bank 1 & 2 codes, when the "custom" fuel pump crapped out. But no codes at all when the factory fuel pump went. I will go and get a fuel pressure guage for this truck now after all this hassle just so i can see all the time.

what are the chances you have 2 bad fuel pumps in a row?

well may as well start from the cheapest thing and go from there.. I am thinking CMP since I have had probs with them on many ford vehicles.

I think I got the same one.. I kinda like the whistle everyone asks if its turbo charged to. hahaha.

What is a 2003 escape worth where u are? Cause here in alberta my 2004 XLT full load is only worth $6-7k and it only has 90 000 km's on it..

so why a misfire then? I thought PCM controlled firing?

My truck was acting up today a few times as if it was the fuel pump again.. But it was acting a little different. This time it threw codes for me any idea's on what they mean? P0300 P0301 P0302 P1000 I cleared them 2x and then never had a prob with it again. Maybe my junk yard replacement...

how would they be locked if the switch is in the unlocked position? And if so how come the drivers window does not work? But all the rest do from the drivers door?

Hey there I got some weird probs with the windows on my X and was wondering if anyone had any input as to my probs. Only the drivers window controls work for all the windows, except the drivers one. And no the lock is not on. Any idea's as to why?

Another vote here for the Rancho RS5000 have had them for 4 years and love them. Little stiffer ride but it pays off on the trails. :thumbsup:

It was suppose to be a Walbro 255 LPM.. But it was so loud I could not even hear myself think, it had the worst high pitch whine to it. Even with my stereo on full blast it was still like nails on a chalk board. But now I got a factory one back in and its quiet as can be!

I recommend just letting it lay on the rad cowling that is how my CAI is.. then I just put a little bracket from the rad to the MAF to give it a little extra support.

I got a sweet mandrel bent chrome one from eBay for $50. Has a nice filter all hoses & clamps & grommets for the hoses. Definitely worth it!
