    Questions about the switch on the steering rack

    Actually, I don't have VAPS. I meant the switch on the rack that bumps the idle up. Thank you though :)

    Questions about the switch on the steering rack

    Hi, I have a few questions, For one, how does the switch on the power steering rack work? My SHO idles at about 950rpm according to the tach. I have never noticed the power steering dragging the engine down at idle. I never really use the AC or anything either. Currently that switch is...

    driver side power steering leak?

    I unplugged the switch because it looks like thats where the fluid is coming from. I didn't know that it could leak from there? I thought I was crazy. Doesn't this switch just bump the idle up some when I'm turning? I haven't noticed much of a difference with it disconnected. Could I...

    driver side power steering leak?

    I checked the axle seals, they look dry. I was in a pinch because most of my fluid leaked out and I used Dexron III in the PS reservoir. My main question is, what the heck kind of rack do I have? Is it a 2-port or a 3-port? I'm thinking about just buying a SLO rack but I don't know which one.

    driver side power steering leak?

    I don't mean to threadjack, but I am having a similar issue. Mine looks like it is coming out of the sensor on the rack, but I can't tell.

    no knock sensor

    my brother was working on the car, and we had the fuel rails off to replace injector o-rings. I had bought a new sensor a while back, so i told him to go ahead and get the old one off. needless to say he broke the connector, and i can't find the new one and it makes me angry to have to buy a new...

    no knock sensor

    i did a few different searches, but i couldn't source anything relevant. how bad of an idea is it to drive the car with the knock sensor disconnected, provided i am the only driver and i only use 93 octane?

    Driveability troubleshooting 92MTX

    Replaced the ECT with a new gp sorensen unit from advance today and reset the ecm. I drove it around a little afterwards and it seems I have gained alot of lower end throttle response! I used to have to slip the clutch at around 2000rpm just to get it to go without dieing, but now if I want I...

    Driveability troubleshooting 92MTX

    I'm hoping the stock ECT sensor was messed up and that's why they took it out and why the fans weren't coming on in the first place. Should I just pick one up at advance, or is there a ford part# I should use? I basically wanted to confirm that that was in fact the ECT, because I can't imagine...

    Driveability troubleshooting 92MTX

    Oh yeah, also, the motor died during the KOER test, right after I got the knock sensor code. Should I run it again and see what happens? Or replace the knock sensor and coolant sensor before I try again?

    Driveability troubleshooting 92MTX

    Well, It's a 1992 MTX, 167k. I bought it and have been driving it since the beginning of this year with seemingly good luck so far. My main complaint is having to run the A/C to keep the engine fan on. Some genius decided to try to bypass the stock fan controls with this prize: I finally...

    Please help me identify these.

    I cleaned the air filter with an air nozzle but it is probably due for a change, I did notice the hole in the airbox for IAT. Perhaps it has something to do with it being cold outside and the IAT not being secured in the proper location? It does alot better when the outside air temp is warm.

    Please help me identify these.

    Thank you very much. :thumb: I thought that looked like kind of like an IAT, I just wasn't sure if there was a reason it wasn't mounted anywhere. I will let everyone know what it looks like when I replace the TPS. Also, what is the verdict on the SPOUT jumper, is it OK to remove the...

    Please help me identify these.

    I do like to allow warm up time in the morning. It was cold out but the temp gauge was a little under halfway. Anyone know about what temperature halfway is?
