    Parting out a 94

    Tan with 220k miles, so the engine is shot. Front airbags are used Arnotts, not worth anything. Grill is cracked, and the rear bags and compressor are no good. Everything else seems to be good, and the trans was rebuilt about 25k ago. It has an older stye spider valve on it that works well.

    Walbro 190 giving trouble after 6 months

    I replaced my fuel pump in my 94 with a Walbro 190. I had trouble doing it because all of the directions I read stated that I just had to drop the tank. I couldn't drop the tank all the way without detaching the exhaust pipe. Either way, I put the pump in and it worked very well up until a few...

    Click before start

    When I try to start my 94, I hear a click, then about 1/2 a second of silence before it starts. What could this be? Battery wires?

    What did I do wrong? (fuel pump replacement - pics)

    Ok. I successfully replaced my fuel pump with the Walbro 190, and the car works again! However, I could NOT drop my gas tank all the way, as everyone who seems to have done this job was able to do. The exhaust pipe was in the way, and I didn't feel like going through the nightmare of...

    My Mark died at a gas station - any ideas?

    I stopped to get gas last night on the way home from New York City. I was very tired and just wanted to get home. After I get the gas out in my car I try to start it and it runs extremely rough for about 3 or 4 secons, then it stalls. I try again and again to start it, the same thing...

    Need Help - Suspension problems/noises

    My 94 now has 201,000 miles on it. The only things I have replaced suspension-wise are the tie rods, upper control arms, the front air struts and the rear struts. Not surprisingly my car makes AWFUL noises when I go over bumps. Everything sounds loose in the front and back. I attribute this to...

    Nightmare # 54: Battery Problems

    My '94 is acting up again, and a lot of things just kept going wrong tonight. HOW NOT TO DO THINGS: I leave my lights on accidently after I parked my car. I couldn't have been gone 5 minutes, but when I came back the car wouldn't start. A friendly neighbor gave me a jump but it didn't do any...

    Tranmission Problems!

    My 94 Mark with 185k on it started leaking trans fluid pretty badly. I kept pouring new fluid in, but not fast enough apparently. The car was slipping in and out of gear and shuddering for 2 days befpore I could get it to the shop. I dropped it off at Lee Myles Transmissions this morning and...

    Loosing 2 quarts a day..

    of oil on my 94. I just replaced the oil filter adapter gasket, hoping that would solve the problem, but it didn't. What are some other common oil leakage areas on the 94 Mark? I have a feeling that fixing them might require lifting trhe engine, in which case I would just get a new one, since...

    Need new front and rear rotors and brakes

    For my 94. I have to get this done today, so I don't have time to run through a search. I am on a budget and I hear that autozone has good rotors for the mark. Should I get autozone gen2 rotors for the front? what about the back? As for the pads, I do a lot of driving (30,000 miles a year)...

    Electrical Car Wash Nightmare

    Be careful at the car wash. Long story, but probably unique. I went with my wife to get my '94 Mark washed today at the car wash. After the car gets out of the tunnel, an attendant come along with a spray bottle and wiped down the inside. I was off putting a tip in the tip box while the...

    Ruined my headlight with oven fix

    I am an idiot. I pre-heated the oven to 400 degrees, turned it off, let the light sit for 10 minutes. When it came out, the lens pryed halfway off before the glue cooled down again. So, I baked for another 10 minutes. This time the lens came off, but it was soft and it warped from the...

    Need new water pump - which brand?

    Rock Auto has an Airtex water pump for $35, an AC Delco for $45 and the Motorcraft for $65. Any suggestions? Will I be ok with the Airtex or AC Delco? Are they any good? Also, do I need to order the gasket? Does anyone know if it is usually included?
