    New here; son w/SHO 300 mi. away with trouble....

    code OK. Code 114 appears to be Air Charge Temp, and only means the car's engine is cold. Ignore. Another Ford site lists code 114 as IAT sensor out of range. I suspect the former is correct. I left a message for Jason to look for more codes. Unless no codes are in there because the...

    1st code report Finally. Jason got a chance to go back to the Coast driving a truck, so he's overnight there. I armed him with the, "how to pull codes," text from your suggestions. He just called to report the Ford shows a code 114. No others, just 114. He said the paperwork I sent along...

    thank you Whew. What a thread this turned out to be. Thank you everyone. Jason has to return tomorrow in another rig, (darn), for an appointment here. So the SHO will sit at his brother's place until we return to rescue it. Will probably be at least two weeks, so we'll have time to scrounge...

    Yamaha engines: how good are they?

    thank you I appreciate everyone's commentary on these engines. It is all new to me and I now find it very, very interesting. In fact, I want to see Jason's car put into good shape because I want to experience it for myself. He has to leave the Coast tomorrow to return here for an...

    What exactly does, "DIS," mean?

    time out Tricker, I sent you a direct email. Thanks for the offer. Otherwise, Jason must head back here tomorrow in another rig for a job interview. The SHO is safe at his brother's and will now have to wait for us to re-group, do our homework, gather a collection of the important parts...

    trouble OV3RC10CD3D: Thanks. He is about 50 miles north of you virtually at the Whatcom county line, just off of I-5. But he has to leave tomorrow to drive, (another rig probably), here to E. Washington. And he might be working part of today. We may end up buying a couple of parts by mail...

    '92 SHO DOHCams: non-interference?

    Boy has a 1992 SHO, with Yamaha Dual OHC 3.0. I have been reading these forums to see if a timing belt failure would damage valves, etc. I think I am seeing these engines are non-interference and such an event would NOT harm the engine. Am I right? Thanks, Dennis

    What exactly does, "DIS," mean?

    I might as well confess and ask: what exactly does the abreviation, "DIS," really mean? I couldn't find a sticky talking about it. A parts house might actually want to know more than that when I begin calling in the morning. I know where it is on the engine, but know little else about it...

    Yamaha engines: how good are they?

    New here, and it probably sounds like it. Son has a Yamaha equipped 1992 SHO, with5-speed. How good are the Yamaha engines? Did they only equip SHO's with them for a couple years? Then Mazda or did Ford ever build an engine for SHO's? Parts interchangeability? Thanks, Dennis

    trouble Thanks Shocar, I've already subscribed to the NW Yahoo group. Just posted my first 2 questions. We're chasing a new DIS, (or whatever we can find on short notice) I called NAPA on the cam sensor and they quoted $104 on one for his dual OHV. Still trying to figure how to find a...

    New here; son w/SHO 300 mi. away with trouble....

    trouble Last report today from Jason: I think he's run out of ideas short of, as he says, buying fresh components and beginning swapping out things. I suggested trying to find a local Auto Zone, etc., that might pull the codes again for him. Not sure if he'll make that yet today or not...

    New here; son w/SHO 300 mi. away with trouble....

    trouble Report: Son, (Jason, better beginning using his name !!), said the clearance between the DIS and strut tower is almost an inch. He examined that area and he also said he could see some lower point where things mounted. He said all appears to be square and properly mounted. I...

    trouble Son called back. Car is back to running bad again. Intermittant loss of power and CEL comes on. He also spray cleaned the MAF a few minutes ago which did not fix anything. He called while he was looking under the hood and I used the NICE photo of the DIS and described where the...

    trouble One thing about all the stuff you fellows are saying that is not good. If this keeps up, and his car problems get resolved, I am beginning to be concerned that even MY interest in these Fords might grow. As if I need to become fascinated with yet another automobile. (Grin)...

    Dis Oh, one more thing: WONDERFUL photo of the DIS location; thanks. I mentioned that over the phone. He immediately recognized that device by description and said he had a mechanic go though it in the recent past, and felt it should have been eliminated as one problem. Dennis
