    94 ATX 3.2 dropping two cylinders

    Some of you might remember this problem I had... I finally gave up and brought it to the dealer. Just got the call a few minutes ago. They're at exactly the same point I was at two weeks ago. All evidence points back to the coil or the ignition module. This is after both were changed several...

    94 ATX 3.2 dropping two cylinders

    I put the new wires on and nothing really changed. I had the battery unplugged while I changed the wires to clear the codes. When I first started the car it ran a little rough and sounded like it had an exhaust leak. It smoothed out and I took it for a ride. From the start it didn't have much...

    94 ATX 3.2 dropping two cylinders

    Ooh rah LCpl! I've been out for a couple of years (1997), but I might be going back in as an O1E when I graduate from college this summer (hopefully...). I was with 1st SRIG for my last unit. I miss it every day. Sorry I haven't gotten back to everyone quicker. My wife was in the hospital all...

    94 ATX 3.2 dropping two cylinders

    The multimeter is a good quality meter. You're right though, I'll check it out just in case. When I get home from bringing my son to karate this morning, I'll run the tests again. I'll do it when it's barely warm first (to see if I can duplicate the codes from the other day) and then I'll do it...

    94 ATX 3.2 dropping two cylinders

    I ran the tests and here's what I came up with: No pushed, broken or corroded pins. Both connectors were very healthy. Key off. 1. Y/W wire at DIS. Shorted when coil connected. Not shorted when coil is unplugged. Key On. 1. Voltage 11.73 at all three wires at DIS. Grounds are all...

    Window fuses?

    Fuse block, fuse block? Sorry, I couldn't resist... Yes, windows would have one fuse for all four windows. Get your hands on a multimeter and test for 12 volts at the switch. If you have it (which I doubt if all four aren't working) move on to the motor. If it's only one window, I'd go straight...

    Where is that programming short pin thing?

    Sounds like a Ford dealer installed alarm, not a Ford factory installed. It happens all the time. Same thing only different... I'm going to be looking for mine this weekend, but it's a 94. I'll let you know if and where I find it.

    Programming used keyless remote?

    Can't hurt to try. I'll pick up a remote and give it a shot. Thanks.

    Programming used keyless remote?

    I have a 94 that I only got an ignition key with. It has the keypad in the door. Would you think that came with a remote originally? Any way to tell?

    Took The 93 out of storage and have no wipers, rear windows

    Sounds like too much of a chance for both the wipers and the windows to go at the same time. Was it stored for a long time? The grease in the window tracks might be giving you problems. Will the windows go up if you help them? If you help the wipers a couple of times gently, that might free up...

    Grounding wire on a pos. battery terminal?

    94 ATX 3.2 dropping two cylinders

    I definitely came to the right place. Thank you guys! I'll run these tests tonight or tomorrow morning and let you know what I come up with. The DIS was only swapped out once, but the coil was changed at least 3 - 4 times. The DIS sounds kind of suspect. The ground strap is there and attached...

    94 ATX 3.2 dropping two cylinders

    So much for the easy fix... I went home and ran my codes, here's what I came up with. My wires were on right...: KOEO 111 System Ok. 217 Primary Circuit failure coil three KOER 117 ECT sensor is/was low or grounded - ECT 213 (R) Ignition SPOUT or SAW circuit open or shorted -...

    94 ATX 3.2 dropping two cylinders

    You just may have answered my problem! I think I might have the wires going 6-5-4 instead of 4-5-6 on the radiator side. I'm not positive though. If that's all it is, I'm going to feel like a complete meat head... I'll do a search for the KOEO test. I assume that means Key On Engine Off right...

    94 ATX 3.2 dropping two cylinders

    I'm new to the SHO game. I picked up a 94 SHO w/ 48k on the clock. Immaculate body and interior, but something isn't right. As soon as it warms up, it drops number 3 & 4 cylinders I believe (Driver's side two. Front and back). They seem to stop firing. I've thrown three coils (just in case two...
