Would appreciate any help you could offer. mustangdude > Guys, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > mustangdude PowerSlots. And a leaking boot? dwight If you really want answers then post detailed questions here. Otherwise, I see this as an effort to get the post count up on the web site you referenced. Plus, I bet to post a response to your thread one has to register there? > Guys, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > mustangdude > Guys, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > mustangdude Remove both ball joints {there's only one on each side, BTW} Remove fromt brake rotors Shove 'em up your a.s... squeak will be gone, after initial insertion, and rotors wont warp You post here, you read here.  SignatureYeh, I'm a Krusty old Geezer, putting up with my 'smartass' is the price you pay..DEAL with it! Ok... guess you don't like the forum idea. Didn't mean to piss you guys off. I have legit questions, so I will post them sepeate here and see if I can get some real help. > Guys, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > mustangdude Remember, we like it HERE.

Well, if you want to treat it like a forum you can access it through one of the replicator web sites or Google Groups... However, did MJ, PE mention we like it here? I'm in several soccer forums, and mod one. One of the amusing things about them is that about once a month some guy will come on and post that he has started a NEW soccer forum and invite us all over to play. Nearest I can tell is that every soccer club IN THE WORLD has at least 3 main fan forums, with every major sport fan site having another one for the club. Now do a search on 'Mustang forum' Heh.. did I mention we like it here? Oh, another thing, this newsgroup has NEVER, to my knowledge, been hacked by Islamic militants. PPS: Since you apparently ARENT just a spammer, you may disregard my previous advice on your joints and rotors. SignatureYeh, I might be a Krusty old Geezer, but putting up with "Michael Johnson, PE"'s 'smartass' is the price you pay for good info..DEAL with it! So, what I understand now, is you guys like it HERE... :) thanks for the reasonable reply... you old Geezer. your previous advice was becoming painful after the first balljoint thing so I stopped... the scars will fade in time. >> Remember, we like it HERE.

Here are some of my current ones; I have a 93, have to replace door handles, dealership wants $300 per side, I do not have a big pop rivet gun to put the door handles back on. There is a little L shaped rubber hose that goes on the gas fumes can (up far front passenger side) that you cannot get anymore. I have some broken very small hoses part of the pollution control system that I have stuck together with small shrink wrap and some tar. And the engine is running lean at WOT, could be injectors need cleaning. > > So, what I understand now, is you guys like it HERE... :) > > thanks for the reasonable reply... you old Geezer.

You can buy a door handle kit (incl. rivets) from 50resto.com for $19.95. They also have the rivet gun for $24.95. > There is a little L shaped rubber hose that goes on the gas fumes can (up > far front passenger side) that you cannot get anymore. > I have some broken very small hoses part of the pollution control system > that I have stuck together with small shrink wrap and some tar. Check with Tim aka Musttanguy at ponyperformance.com. He can provide nearly any part like this for your Mustang. I have bought numerous odd parts from him over the years. > And the engine is running lean at WOT, could be injectors need cleaning. Thanks!! >> > So, what I understand now, is you guys like it HERE... :) >> > thanks for the reasonable reply... you old Geezer.

Well, the thing is you dont NEED a poprivet... you can buy small carriage bolts to fit. Lowes {at least my area} has them. Dont forget lock-washers > There is a little L shaped rubber hose that goes on the gas fumes can > (up far front passenger side) that you cannot get anymore. That's what various sizes of fuel line and fuel-connectors or Brass elbows are for.. fixing stuff like that. > I have some broken very small hoses part of the pollution control > system that I have stuck together with small shrink wrap and some tar. Either small engine shop.. or model aircraft shop... or tubing supplier > And the engine is running lean at WOT, could be injectors need > cleaning. Yes, or fuel filter or fuel pump or clean the MAF. Cant hurt to do all of them if the pump is old.

Orgional fuel pump is inside the gas tank, and it has a plastic slieve filter on it too could be messed up. Have not cleaned the MAF ever, I put a K&L filter on it so I may have to clean it. You do that with brake fluid and q tips on the wire only ?? just clean the crud off ? Car is a 93 ex-cop car, with 140K on it now. I have a meter by Keene-Bell that shows rich/lean from the 02 sensores, and it shows lean when WOT. > Orgional fuel pump is inside the gas tank, and it has a plastic slieve > filter on it too could be messed up. Sure... but invest in a Fuel pressure gauge, first. > Have not cleaned the MAF ever, I put a K&L filter on it so I may have > to clean it. Wel... yeah! > You do that with brake fluid and q tips on the wire only ?? just clean > the crud off ? Use rubbing alcohol and small to medium bristle new paint brush... several passes/rinses. > Car is a 93 ex-cop car, with 140K on it now. > > I have a meter by Keene-Bell that shows rich/lean from the 02 > sensores, and it shows lean when WOT. And yeah, you may have dirty injectors but I'd suggest running Speedway gas IF it's a big seller in your area; not sure about last five years but flow testing injectors 5 years ago showed very good flow at 100,000 miles of use using that brand SignatureYeh, I'm a Krusty old Geezer, putting up with my 'smartass' is the price you pay..DEAL with it! >> Orgional fuel pump is inside the gas tank, and it has a plastic slieve >> filter on it too could be messed up. [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > flow testing injectors 5 years ago showed very good flow at 100,000 miles > of use using that brand I just had the injectors cleaned and it did make a big difference, showed up on the rich/lean meter too as richer, driving around, but WOT may still be lean (meter says its lean via O2 sensors), so I'll clean the MAF next. I have a fuel pressure gage, says about 45 to 50 normally and in boost goes to 75 to 80 or so. The boost cuts out the fuel regulator, FMU stuff, there is an adjustment on it, I think it is where it cuts out the fuel regulator with boost level. > I have a fuel pressure gage, says about 45 to 50 normally and in boost > goes to 75 to 80 or so.

That's a WHOLE Different story, dont you think?

Boost pressure on one side of the diafram pushes a valve open that lets full pressure from the gas pump onto the fuel rails bypassing the fuel regulator. The screw only seemed to adjust how much the diafram would start to move with boost. I left this part adjusted the way it was when I got it. It did not seem critical, but... No instructions on how to set it. Cant find similar on Google, need to try again. Guess I could pull it out, take it apart check the action again, what way to turn the screw for more gas. It also has another vacume line that is now shut off, but it has a needle valve in the vacume line, no idea what that would hook up to, or how to adjust. It is an early FMU probably 1995 (?) guessing here. I was thinking the fuel pressure gague goes up to 75 or 80, like it should should be about it, the computer adjusts injectors via O2 sensers for right amount of gas to inject. Anyone know about FMU's ? >>> I have a fuel pressure gage, says about 45 to 50 normally and in boost >>> goes to 75 to 80 or so.

Found this at http://www.cartech.net/fmu2020instruc.htm looks like it applies to what I have; |
