    AC clutch only engages with jumped low pressure switch

    My low side pressure will slowly build without the compressor on, then the pressure drops to 0 on the low side when the compressor kicks in. As I type this... I wonder if I'm simply too low on refrigerant! I'll jump the compressor and try again. Edit: Yup, I'm right and I feel like a fool...

    AC clutch only engages with jumped low pressure switch

    I had ~40 PSI on my low pressure side but no AC. I bought a low pressure switch on a whim and put it in. As of now, my pressure will rise to about 45 PSI, the AC clutch will engage for a second, disengage and drop the pressure, and continue doing so. Playing around with different...

    Strange 02 Sport starting issue

    02 Sport, good condition, recent plug and wire change. On colder mornings, 65 and below, my Sport will start, rev as normal, then RPMs drop suddenly and it stalls. This is all in the course of a few seconds. I've done it twice in a row. If I give it gas it catches and drives fine. Above 65...

    2nd gen roof racks on 2.5 sports

    I have a 2002 Sport. The roof rack is lower profile than the older models and lacks cross bars. Will regular second gen cross bars for? Specifically 2001. I love my new Explorer! Also, offtopic, but I remember my grandfather bought a new Sport Trac around the time. Did they all come with a...

    Has anyone made quick-removal doors like Jeep Wranglers?

    Does anyone know what size the hinge pin is? I'd like to install an off the shelf bolt or hinge pin if one is available. Should be easy enough to make quick release doors then.

    Air does not blow out of vents

    Hey all, I'm having some HVAC issues and I'm not quite sure what it is. My 1999 has the manual HVAC controls and air has stopped blowing out of the vents on the dash and floor. The Merc will get hot inside after awhile and the blower motor works well. I noticed heat leaks out of the...

    CB+radio in stock double DIN space.

    My 1999 Mountie has a dead screen with a cracked board so I figure an aftermarket radio isn't too bad. Can anyone offer any suggestions on putting a simple aftermarket single DIN radio with a Midland 4001 cb in the stock radio location? The Midland is about 2 1/8" tall so I'm not sure if it...

    Misfiring/shuddering on accel/decel

    I found out my issue. A broken pigtail on my injector!

    Misfiring/shuddering on accel/decel

    Much to my dismay... The codes now read cylinder 1 misfire and bank 1 lean. I think it's a fuel issue because if it were not firing it would be rich. Arrgh!

    Misfiring/shuddering on accel/decel

    I have one on the driver side as pictured, but not the passenger. Strange

    Misfiring/shuddering on accel/decel

    Thank you! You're the best. When my car first started acting up, I would get a code and more misfiring after a few days. I would try something such as new plugs, clear the codes, and the symptoms and codes would pop up a few days later. The codes were misfire on #8 and lean condition on bank...

    Misfiring/shuddering on accel/decel

    By any chance can you locate them in a pic? I believe I have one. I always assumed they had something to do with blocking radio interference. I don't believe I saw two but I could be looking in the wrong place.

    Misfiring/shuddering on accel/decel

    I don't believe I have any, or I may very well be missing it. I know where they are on my 93 and 65, but I haven't seen any on my Mercury.

    Misfiring/shuddering on accel/decel

    Filter cap? I ran a 10 gauge ground from the alternator mount to the coils. Did not help.

    Misfiring/shuddering on accel/decel

    Well... Fun. I replaced the coil, plug, plug wire, and injector. Still misfiring. I'm going to ground the coil pack and see if that helps. I was getting a misfire on cylinder 8 code so that is the cylinder with the new injector.

    Misfiring/shuddering on accel/decel

    I have an odd shuddering issue. My 99 AWD 5.0 Merc is shaking at low RPM, feels like a misfire. It isn't consistent, it goes away once you start going, and it runs like a top otherwise. 82k miles. Suggestions?

    Wet drivers floor?

    No dripping through the headliner at this time. I will look into this, thanks guys.

    Wet drivers floor?

    What can cause a wet drivers floor when it rains? My sunroof appears to not leak. I blew out the lines, and I would assume water would hit me while driving if it was leaking. Suggestions?

    Permanent fix to airbag light?

    Hey all, I have a code 36 airbag light, that some finaggling of the yellow wire will fix. Is there a more permanent solution? The light is intermittent. Is cutting the wires and directly wiring it a valid solution? Thanks!
