    Bad BDA, no heat

    That use to work for mine, but those days are gone now. I've tried every other variation of settings to see if i could get it to move with not luck. Also I am getting the 02 code, and since I've had the other symptoms I'm pretty sure it is the BDA.

    Bad BDA, no heat

    I've had a bad BDA for a long time now, with the common thumping and full heat issues. In the past week my heat has died all together, all that I can get is cold air. I am assuming the BDA is stuck in a position, is there any way to set the BDA just on the "hot" settings without pulling the...

    SHO runs like a champ!

    I just finished up a front and upper 60k on my 95 sho that has 123,000 miles. The thing runs so well now. I also did the front ball joints, ty rods, and wheel bearings. After an alignment it drove down the road so quietly, so straight, and with so much power. Thanks for everyones help...

    crank position sensor

    I'm doing a front 60k right now, and was wondering where the best place to buy a CPS was? Autozone has one for $89. I don't want to buy from a dealer because I am trying to save some money. How long do these crank sensors usually last? I was thinking about not replacing it at first, but...

    Upper 60K question

    It was the ground. The ground to the intake wasn't tightened all the way. I just took it for a drive and it was a little rough on the idle still but drove smoothly. Now its onto the timing belt and the front 60k. Thanks for your help guys.

    Upper 60K question

    I just started it and it ran for about a minute with an idle around 1200, a little high. After about a minute of consistant idle the check engine light came on and it started to stall out. Any ideas? Can I run the codes without being able to run the car for a few minutes? Is there a good...

    Upper 60K question

    all the wires are in the right spots. All of the spark plugs are sparking fine with the new wires, I took them out and checked. The car turned over for a second and then bogged down and died. It did this twice. The other times it just was on the verge of starting, as if it were winter time...

    Upper 60K question

    What is the spark plug wire sequence on a 95 mtx? I thought I did it the same as the originals but I'm starting to think two of them may be switched. I checked my sequence with the picture from this link and they are the same. http://www.shophoenixproject.com/upper60k/upper60k2.htm

    Upper 60K question

    I just finished the upper 60k. The shims were fine and all the gaps were within tolerance. I put new gaskets in, plugs, and iginition wires. I also cleaned the intake manifold and ports. When I got it all back together and went to start it, it wanted to start but wouldn't turn over. When I...

    oil on plugs

    There is a lot of oil on my spark plugs, and I have noticed a decrease in gas milage as well as a small decrease in power. Could these things be linked? I have the felpro gasket set with seals, do I also need to use any rtv when putting the new gaskets in? thanks

    diff trouble

    I installed a new stock diff in my tranny. The shim I had from the old diff is a .031+ thousands, and the shim selector tool says I have a gap of .035 thousands. When I put the old shim in with the tool I have a gap of .004 and .005 on the two sides. Is this to much of a gap, will it **** the...

    MTX IV parts?

    Is it true that Ford has discontinued parts for the MTX IV? If so is there anywhere to buy parts for it? Or is the only resort to get a transmission from a junkyard?
