    No fenders

    I seen a pic of a first gen with no headlights and no fenders. Little or no lift on 36 boggers, I think. My google fu is weak and I can't seem to find it again. Any help would be appreciated.

    1996 crown vic fuel/spark issues

    I Have a friend who's Vic shut off on him. Basic troubleshooting showed no fuel pressure. So made sure to check for power at pump, there was, but bit did not turn on. So new fuel pump. Now it has pressure if you bypass relay. Still wouldn't start. Used a timing light to verify no spark. We...

    No coolant system pressure

    My truck doesn't build any pressure. It had weak heat last winter. I swapped rad cap with a lev r vent and I get nothing. Cap doesn't even get hit. Rad is hot, hoses are hit, runs great. Doesn't smoke. I see no wetness but I will double check block(freeze plugs). It has 203k miles, newer rad...

    Sensitive to water

    Even with new plugs/wires my explorer is real sensitive to the coil pack getting wet. And even tho this is my 5th 4.0 vehicle I've owned it's the only one I've wheeled. If I do a big splash and it get wet it'll miss really bad till it dries out a bit. I'm just wondering if an old/worn out coil...

    Ideas to reduce steering effort.

    I've owned/driven a few cherokee's and I've always loved the effortless steering they had. IT got me thinking last night driving my buddies gran marquis home and its quick yet super easy steering made me jealous. My pump does not whine and the box leaks a bit but doesnt have the huge dead zone...

    Rough idle cold.

    Been doing a lot of searching and reading. Can't seem to find a duplicate to my problems. Firstly when cold and you start it, it jumps to 1500 rpm then almost immediately drops to 800 or so and runs rough. The initial take off is a bit abrupt with gear changes ( it is a 5 speed ). Once warmed...

    returnless questions

    I am preparing to do a sohc swap in a first gen. Looks like it should be more straight forward than a v8 swap, but mucho less documented. One thing I see is in the 2 swaps i have seen one used older injectors and the one on here used the stock sohc injectors. And they both used the '97 return...

    Fuel pump multiple eec codes

    I am getting codes KOEO 327 (I know why), and after separator pulse (continuous mem?) I get 122, 172, 176, 214, 327, 543, 556. I just replaced the tps (code 122) but havent reset codes. I backtracked everything associated with fuel pump wiring and had 14 volts (vehicle running) at all...

    Temp and Heat Issues

    Just purchased a 94 Sport 5 Spd 196k miles. Runs great. noticed that temp wouldnt get up but price was king. So I replaced the T stat (stant) and rad cap(lev r vent stant). Now at highway speed the temp fluctuates from below N to L. And there isn't a lot of heat. Warm air at best. And...

    Explorer Low Power Smell Gas

    I picked up a clean 1994 Exploder the other day. I got it supercheap so I wasn't worried about any issues. Well it runs but doesn't have a ton of power, even for an explorer, and it smells of gas but doesn't seem to be leaking and there are no obvious signs of wetness underneath. Also when low...

    ECM for a Auto to Manual Swap

    I've read on TRS that the manual ecm regulates injector pulses for real engine braking and the A4ld sets a higher idle. Otherwise it'll work you'll just suffer the mileage. At least thats how I understand it. My question is that my Ex is a 94 a4ld. I am obtaining a 92 ranger parts truck. Can...
