    Might be the cam seal...

    Since I got my SHO I've put quite a number of hard, angry miles on it and since day one its had a little oil leak. Its only evident after a drive and usually a hard one. Normal driving doesnt seem to produce anything, a drop or two maybe. I can leave the car sitting for an extended period of...

    Code re-hash, more thorough than before.

    Har har. I hate reviving old threads, but I just wanted to thank everyone who gave me input and helped me figure this mess out. I pulled the codes on the SHO today and ALL I got was the 411 code. I havent had the money to replace the ISC yet.. Once its replaced I should be code free, lol...

    E-brake doesnt work, adjustments?

    I found it, thanks. Problem is, its not doing anything. Theres a bolt I can tighten that tightens the cable, but all that does is make the ebrake peddle harder to push down, until it starts to not go down as far, then wont go down at all.. No change in the function of the ebrake itself...

    E-brake doesnt work, adjustments?

    E-brake doesnt work.. It'll push down and engage but it wont hold the car. Are there any adjustments for it or known issues with them? Its a damn pain not having it and I'd like to get it working.

    Hard shifts.

    I do indeed. How difficult is it to replace the motor mounts on the car? I assume its a damn pain..

    confused boggin feelin

    Pulling the codes may not be a bad idea. Another idea is to get some starter fluid from Advanced or Autozone or whatever (less than 2$ a can) and spray around the ISC, snake boots and runner gaskets. If you have a vac leak hidden somewhere it tends to suck in the starter fluid and cause the...

    Hard shifts.

    Did a search and saw that post. That sounds alot like my problem but I wanted to run it by some folks. Simply put, the car is a ******* to get into gear. 1st-2nd-3rd are the worst gears and reverse will grind on startup just about every time. Even if I'm careful and run through the gears and...

    Intake bolt torque specs?

    Put my intake on last night and got everything re-connected.. Having a little hose issue but I'll resolve that when I get out of school today. Curious though, what the proper torque rating for the intake bolts? (runner to heads.) Car is looking decent. Quick edit.. I think I salvaged my...

    Intake runner boots.

    So, three of the six runner boots (rubber peices on the intake that connect the runners to the secondarys) didnt survive being removed.. I was careful, they didnt care. Anyone have a source for these things? The Ford dealerships I've talked to had nothing and didnt seem to care, heh. I did...

    Code re-hash, more thorough than before.

    Didnt have time to reply until now, sorry. IAC has been cleaned and reinstalled.. No good, still getting the code. Will be replaced ASAP. I have a new (to me, heh) TPS I'm gonna install and will start calling around to get prices on a new/JY DIS unit. I went ahead and got new plugs, wires (AC...

    Code re-hash, more thorough than before.

    Sorry for making a new post, but I felt this warranted a new one instead of a continuation of the old. Ok, updated codes folks. Sorry for it being so long, just trying to be thorough. I cleaned the MAF and it helped ALOT. My dead power above 4k is completely fixed and my WOT issue is gone...

    Got my codes, looking for some clarity.

    Yup, constant whining. Thankfully I dont have to replace the clutch like I thought - leaving me money for a fuel pump =]

    Got my codes, looking for some clarity.

    Quick questions.. When my car is started, my fuel pump is *very* audible. Having never dealt with any SHO's before I dont know if this is common or a precurser to pump failure. How loud are your alls?

    Thanks for the info. I'll check everything you suggested and see where I stand.

    Got my codes, looking for some clarity.

    Ok, I officially took posession of the SHO (93 MTX) today. Drove it around some and put it through its paces. I topped the tank off with fresh premium and put about 90 miles on it (trip from where I live now to where I used to live). Same problems as before. Erratic idle, jumpy tach, no...

    New SHO owner with a question or two..

    I'm still weighing my options on the clutch. I was pointed to a very nice clutch kit for about 350$ that I'm leaning heavily towards, provided I can find the extra funds. I can swing the 350 I think - but with shipping its a toss-up. I may end up with an OEM clutch due simply to cost. Really...

    New SHO owner with a question or two..

    Quick update; Havent had a chance to grab the codes.. Had to drop my truck off to him the yesterday and only got a few minutes to tinker. The secondarys dont seem to be opening. When the engine is off, their open as their supposed to be, when the engine is started they pop closed like...

    New SHO owner with a question or two..

    Thanks for the replys folks. When I do the clutch I think I'm just gonna bring it into my school's shop. I'm in school for auto body but we have a pretty loose program here and my teacher said he didnt give a shyte if I brought it in and worked on it here, lol. Will be a little easier than in...

    New SHO owner with a question or two..

    Howdy folks, I have just recently purchased a 93 SHO (5 speed). I wont take posession of the vehicle for a little while though, week or so. Waiting on the new title to my truck to get here so I can trade it in. Deal is done though. I have a couple questions for you folks if you dont mind...
