    Noisy water pump

    My 1990 with 66k, has a noisy (bearings) water pump. What do I need to replace it and does the timing belt have to come off? The 60k was done previously (I assume since the valves were correct spec and the timing belt is clearly marked 3.0 and 3.2, and the car has 61k on a 2001 emissions test...

    No Power/Misfires

    I was going to put a vacuum line on the port on the back of the intake and send some sea foam through the engine... Think the fuel filter could cause this? Could my wires be bad? I had to previous SHO's and never had any problems with the wires or coil. Is there any SHO mechanic's in Houston?

    It is in there. I did a cylinder balance test again now 1&3 showed up and not 5 &6. I pulled all the plugs except the middle rear and all of them were different colored than the next one, literally everyone of them was different. I am starting to get really pissed at this car. How the hell...

    Cylinder balance test. I did another test, without the ypipe on (Yes i know!) I got 21, 41, 91, 25, 74, 52. A cylinder balance test said #5 and #6. I am going to put the y-pipe back on and do it again, but what about the cylinder balance test?

    No Power/Misfires

    Update: The car has 50% more power, but that is still 50% less than it should. ALL engine noise is now gone (sigh of relief) however I still have intermittent backfires. I also did get a Check Engine Light, but I had to turn the car off, and it did not come back on. Questions: 1) Can I...

    I know the plug wires are ran correctly. I started it last night and the backfiring has gone away. However when I manually moved the throttle a loud tapping noise came from the engine again, same piston and or area, front bank cylinder closest to cam gear. I was going to drive it and see how...

    New Update: The compresson gauge was leaking not the cylinders. I checked the timing this way... Took off the top timing cover turned the engine by hand, the crank pulley mark lined up on 0 degrees and the cams were dead on. Is this thorough enough or did the crank pulley need to come off to...

    Much like another post I bought a 90 Model that was not running. It had the intake off and sat for 7 months. I have sinced put the car back together, basically did the 60k upper, all valves were inspec. The cam lobes looked good. This was all I knew about the car when I bought other than the...

    96 upgrade or stage 2 or 3 upgrade kit

    For the 96 brake upgrade do you have to use spindles and brakes off a SHO or does a sable or standard taurus have the right parts?
