    93 ATX brake pedal goes to the floor

    I jumped in my car the other day to leave for school, and my brake pedal went straight to the floor. Pumped multiple times and could not build pressure. Master cylinder level is fine, no visible leaks. When the engine is not running I get a good brake pedal. Any ideas where this issue could be...

    93 ATX overheating issue

    Well that was simple. Thermostat replaced, and radiator refilled and burped. Engine temp stayed right around R and M during idle and throttle play. I haven't had a chance to get it out on the road yet, gotta wait until the little one wakes up from his nap. I appreciate the help greatly! The task...

    Thanks for the reply! I'll be getting this done tomorrow. Hopefully that solves my issue. Where is the petcock located on the rad?

    93 ATX overheating issue

    Correction. Did some more playing around with it, both fans are currently running so that rules the fan out. Took a quick 1 mile drive to the grocery store and in that time the temp gauge made it all the way to between N and O. Thermostat is on the block to be replaced tomorrow. Does anybody...

    93 ATX overheating issue

    Hey guys. I have a 93 3.2 atx. Since I've owned this SHO, the engine temp gauge has always been in the lower 1/4 of the temp range at operating temperature. Just a few days ago I had the temp gauge pretty quickly shoot up to the upper 1/4 and remain there. Let it sit over night, drove it the...

    Front end knock

    Had the car up on a lift today. Tie rods and ball joints are fine. The bushings I'm not sure about. A majority of them look and feel dry. Some minimal surface cracking. The only ones I'm concerned about are 2 bushings, one on driver and one on passenger side. They're mounted vertically on what...

    Gen 2 Owner

    Hi everyone! I've owned my 93 ATX for about 5 months now, and I absolutely love it. I managed to snag it off craigslist back in April from an elderly man who was the only owner. I bought it with right around 98k miles. Threw some new tie rod ends on, and its been pretty reliable ever since. I am...

    Front end knock

    Sorry for possibly flooding this forum with issues and questions, but I have another issue I've been chasing after for some time now. My 93 ATX has a bit of a knock. It sounds pretty heavy, caused by hard braking/acceleration, tight turns, and any load being put on or off the front end. Its a...

    Engine idle issues

    Ran the SHO with the O2 sensors unplugged. Idle issue magically disappeared. Will be ordering new ones tonight.

    Engine idle issues

    I'll try that out. I was thinking about unplugging my sensors and seeing if the motor runs stable without before replacing.

    Engine idle issues

    Hi. Long time lurker. I have a 93 ATX Sho. My car recently started throwing codes accompanied by a rough idle and laggy acceleration. The codes I've pulled are 172 - Lack of heated O2 sensor switch running lean, 173 - lack of heated O2 sensor switch running rich, and 179- fuel system at lean...
