Hey All,
I am in need of your expertise again as I have an issue I have never
run across before.  The car is a bone stock 1995 mustang GT with 5
speed trans, ~85k on the clock.  When I start the car with clutch pedal

They used to be common as dirt and cheap. Are they still?

I have a 93 ford Mustang and the tach isn't working, the check engine light
is on. It's the 2.3 with the eight plugs. Any one have any suggestions on
what to look at ? I mean, what usually causes this on this car ?
I might add that the head gasket was replaced. When I got the car ...

I can hear a ticking sound near the fuse box but can't quite find where it
is.  Any ideas??  Thanks

I am needing some input from anyone who has ever replaced a timing belt on
a Ford Ranger 2.3 litre engine. Though the tensioner has a torsion spring,
it appears it is necessary to boost the tension a bit more while
restraining the cam sprocket and rotating the crank a few more ...

Does anyone know where I could buy the µswitches which are in the door
latches. One of them fail to release and I can't double lock the car from

I have a 1997 Mazda B-2300 (ranger) and it started running poorly on
the way to the store. I would die at stoplights and I had to keep the
engine revved in order to get home. It was also running very roughly

I have a 93 Ford Escort with 94k miles.  Over the weekend, we found oil
in one of the spark plug sockets.  The guy working on my car said that
my rings are going bad.  I've read some other messages and they've
indicated maybe the valve cover gasket needs replaced, which I already

My friend has a 99 Ford Escort SE SOHC with 182k miles on it.  The
tranny fluid has never been serviced and is now nice and ugly brown.
I know a power flush and fill is probably not a good idea, but what

I have got a petrol 02 reg mondeo, over the weekend, when I double lock it
