Well that is a lot of information. Also an intereting dilema. I think I will go for the easy fix. Strap a wooden block to the Bottom of the accelerator pedal. Thanks, I have some woodwork to do. Actually I like the Idle speed program change and the slightly larger pulley route. I will do my...

Thanks for the warning. I guess the next question, I am not meaning to Hi-jack, if I am please let me know. Can the output of the alternator be kept high enough at idle and driving speeds with the addition of a larger pulley? This may help the overspeed and regulator pulse that occurs during...

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. Yea, always seem to go when I am working the skinny pedal. It seems to be at the 2-3 shift point. For 170,000 miles it hits as hard as a pissed ex-wife. I believe that also contributed to the blown oif filter adapter gasket. Don't get me wrong, I love...

is the 96 / 98 cobra a direct replacement? I have blowed up Napa, Advance and rebuilds. Probabally 6 so far. I believe it is when I get on it, when the revs are high, last one went against a Porsche, smoked him, poor white collar suburb boy didn't know what hit him. Shortly thereafter, same...

X2 I am new here but I enjoy the tech information, general knowledge and learning from others experience. Halfshaft

Suck gas Just in case it is not clear, do not smoke, play with matches, lighters, fireworks, road flares, gun powder, flash bulbs, flint and steel, electric heaters, or those SST toys that have the pull cord and the one big wheel in the middle that shoot sparks out of them, while siphonin...

Yep, lowers are new, I will check the rack bellows and see if they are the issue. I did grease the bushings, with the poly lube stuff, i started to run out towards the end so maybe I didn't get enough on the Pass radius arm. Admitedly after I changed all the old parts I have come to know that...

Thanks for the suggestion. The squeak is strange and I haven't had a chance to have someone in the car while I am out with the stethascope. It mainly occurs while the wheel is being turned 1/4 -1/2 turn. It also seems to be at slower speeds. Power steering flud is fine and pump makes no noises...

Sounds almost as bad as chaging the auto trans valve body on a taurus with the trans still in the car. Got that procedure down to an hour and 30 minutes. Beer and smoke breaks included. I will take pictures when I do it, over Christmas, I will let everyone know when I am done. The next issue...

Merkurmadness started a post regarding this on the 15th. Should have looked a little harder, sorry, won't do it again. I have the same issue, oil pours out at startup but the office parking space - no oil spot. I have a gravel driveway so I never noticed, I parked at the inlaws house sitting...

Well, at 170,000 miles I have my first oil leak. I initially thought it was the Oil filter gasket. Nope. I would believe from my searches that it is the Adapter gasket. The leak does not run down the filter itself, filter case is clean. There always seems to be a trick with the Marks, is there...

carpet cleaning I had excellent results with Woolite foaming carpet cleaner. I do not usually recommend stuff because I do not like when it doesn't work as well for others. The Woolite, it was all my buddy had and I'll be dipped, it worked great. Spray it on and then blot, wipe or vacuum out...
