Can a pcm from a 93 Mark with a catchcode of w3z2 be plugged into a 94 with a code of m4x0 or z4h0??? (My second 93 has a code of w3z3) The point is that compared to the 93s the 94 drives like there's 200 lb of bricks in the trunk. It's definitely slower and I was wondering if it was due to...

I picked up a third Mark yesterday. In May 08, I found a little old guy here in town, with a 94 plain white w/ tan interior and 43k miles on the clock. It was in AZ for 2 years then came to Iowa where it was stored from Oct to May every year and driven a few hundred miles each summer. Not a spec...

This is in reference to the following link: http://www.intermotive.net/odi1.htm Someone found the price of this was $190, to which I posted: Like every other Gen1-er I just pop it off every time I pull it into gear. But, I seem to recall that the circuit schematic shows the OD button circuit...

In preparation for finishing up the Vortech install, I pulled the factory plugs out of the 18k mi. Garage Queen. Much to my surprise all 8 were ASFW-32c Motorcraft coppers. I was expecting platinums of different numbers from each bank, but then I realized that must have started with the Intech...

In the Vortech kit from DR there was a BBK fuel pump which actually had Walbro stamped on it. This weekend I dropped the tank and removed the stock pump. Things looked OK with the new pump except for the filter. The stock filter is less than 4" long and centered on the pump. The BBK filter is...

I'm getting down to the wire on the Vortech install. Due to the fact that OBD-1 doesn't provide much info, I've been looking at wideband O2 sensor w/ data logging capability (Innovate and FJO). These come with various numbers of channels for other sensor inputs. What parameters are actually...

Vortech recommends NGK 4177 or Autolite 764 gapped down to .032. A search of both Mark sites only turned up a good post by A-train several years ago over on the Dark Side. It covered just motorcraft plugs: AWSF-32PP & EE, stock plat. and coppers AWSF-22C, 1 range colder copper AWSF-12C, 2...

The ugly one is on the left (painted 20 spoke wheels). The evil one is on the right (almost completed Vortech sleeper, aka Garage Queen. I finally figured out how to post pics. Mel C. 93 garnet/grey X2 Garage Queen w/ escort

Am I allowed to say that on this board? ;-) I drove past a small used car lot last Saturday evening and out front was a 93 garnet/grey with really nice original paint. Of course I had to stop and check it out. Interior had creasing and wear on the drivers seat, but the other seats and carpet...

Who is using a 3 bolt style for the Gen1 (93 only?) stock fuel rail. I"m looking at BBK, Mallory and Aeromotive brands, but can't find good diagrams of where the vacuum and guage ports are located relative to the base on the first two. The diagram for the Aeromotive unit has both ports at about...

On an OBD-1 pcm (1993), if you have an injector that is flowing less that the other seven, will there be an error code for that cylinder or does it only know that the bank is lean? I have a set of Ford Racing #42 injectors to put in with my Vortech install but have no idea of their history. Some...

How thick a spacer can be used? Does it adversely affect drivetrain alignment? Does it change ride height, or do the sensors compensate? The coil pack mount on my Vortech blower causes the pack to rub on the hood. StPro warned me of this and sent picts of the mount mods he done. But I was...

Driller, Last summer you posted your over-ride circuit w/ a 40a spdt relay. I've been looking for a 40a but havent found one. Do you recall where got yours? Thanks, Mel C. 93 garnet/grey "have Vormark, getting ready to boost"

Hey guys figure this one out: 93 Mark w/ 17,500 mi. Last fall the suspension started acting like all the damping was gone out of the struts and shocks. Going down old concrete streets that the slabs had different tilts would start the Mark rocking side to side like a wonder horse. Friday was my...

I need the power socket from a radiator fan motor. If anyone has a dead or broken fan w/a good socket laying around, lets make a deal. Mel C. 93 garnet/grey best 1/4, 14.15 @ 99

With a Vortech on a Mark, is there manifold vacuum enough to operate things like the brake booster, fuel pressure regulator or the IMRC's?? At idle there is normal vacuum, but at some open throttle/ boost level the manifold becomes pressurized and only the vacuum reservoir is left to supply...

My 93 has only 17,xxx miles on it, but I worry about parts going bad due to age. While at the gas station I got a wild idea to shut off the air ride to see if it would stay up. I drove about 4 mi home and parked in the garage. Everything looked ok. The next morning the car was at the top...

Cruise-nights and track season is over, so it's time to start the winter project. I have been led to beleive that in order to install a Vortech V2-SQ in a Mark, 1-3/4" to 2" of space must be gained by moving the radiator and trimming the fan shroud. After removing the trim panel between the...

I emailed PI with a list of current mods (chip, underdrives, exhaust, mmx shaft, 3.73 trac-loc and DRs). Stated estimated current HP at 300 with a vortech in the near future, but not to exceed 450-500hp. I asked for their recommendation for a TC and they replied: The converter is going to...
