    Mystery two-pin connector near brake reservoir? VAPS diagnostic.

    I spied this unconnected "brown" two-pin connector again, located on the fat engine compartment wiring harness that goes along the firewall, located between the brake master cylinder and the other connectors for EGR and butterflies.

    Dear SHO AC Pulley...

    You look so nice when you are new... Even your coil is pretty: But then you go and do this: And before you break the serpentine belt, you chew away on the coil and turn it into melted char. OK, pulley, I'm stuck far from home, but we can bypass you with a 70.25" belt says some...

    WTF: water pump o-ring discontinued?

    I got a reman cardone store-branded water pump, which I was lucky enough to find locally, and it doesn't come with the pump body to block o-ring gasket - it is just the front of the pump. They also had a new pump with body that comes with all o-rings including crossover tube (which I just did...

    CPS replace on the road-minimum work?

    My car gave two hints of problems, no start, but the next crank it started right up, I was thinking cam sensor, so eventually it should always start. Driving today it just conked out dead.

    New Design Motorcraft Front Sway Bar Endlinks

    My SHO's swaybar endlinks are not only loose on both ends (not bolted down tight enough) so they clunk around, but all the nuts are completely seized on, so I will probably have to cut them off. I researched a replacement, and after investigating the similar Windstar endlinks, I followed...
