    Misfiring at low RPM when cold... ?

    Can the wires work fine at high RPM but do what I described at low RPM? I thought about changing them, they are original.

    Misfiring at low RPM when cold... ?

    I have a 1992 SHO, which just recently turned over 200,000 miles :thumb: When the engine is COLD, it runs fine, plenty of power. After it warms up, it starts misfiring under acceleration, at low RPM, with any amount of throttle. If you floor it, it will miss, pop and backfire, but as soon as it...

    Sucess!! Running like a champ again!

    Well after driving the car for about a month on 4 or 5 cylinders it seemed, I finally got the work underway. I took the intake off, siliconed the spark plug tube bosses and the corners of the gaskets by the cams. Changed the plugs (with the correct Motorcraft ones, not the Bosch I had in there...

    Spark plug wire diagram?

    Thank you very much, excellent diagrams. I was right, the stupid Chiltons book had the #1 & #3 reversed on their diagram. You could see that the #1 wire was taught, and the #3 had way too much slack, and they wouldn't fit in the looms right. Thanks again!

    Spark plug wire diagram?

    I'm putting the spark plug wires back on according to the book, but by the length of the wires, the #1 & #3 wires seem to be reversed at the coil. That's just a suspicion. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the spark plug wires? Thanks!!

    Help! Need to fix plastic fuel lines.

    I am in the process, literally, of taking off the intake and valve covers to change plugs, wires and plug well seals. I moved the two plastic fuel lines and oops, one of them cracked. Then I noticed they had been routed around my new AC line and it had bent them both and they had a little kink...

    Is it hard to change valve cover gaskets?

    I'm going to do a spark plug and wire change due to my other problem, and I have alot of oil leaking into the plug wells so I figured I would replace the cover gaskets so I can seal the spark plug wells. How tough is it to get the valve covers off? I'm sure a couple of you have gone through this...

    Engine is missing terribly..... Runs bad

    Well, finally got some warm weather, 35 deg., so I could get the codes from the car. The KOEO hard code is 557. The KOEO continuous codes are: 173, 176, 177, 211, 556, 557. The KOER codes are 116, 137, 536. I went to the link for the codes. I see a couple codes referring to the fuel pump...

    Engine is missing terribly..... Runs bad

    I don't have a check engine light on, so I don't know if there are any codes, but I'll check. I replaced the CPS, timing belt and water pump not too long ago, but if oil were leaking near the front seal, I wonder if that could cause the CPS to mess up. I think it is leaking oil near the front...

    Engine is missing terribly..... Runs bad

    My 1992 started to run really bad about a week ago. It starts to miss and backfire as soon as you try to accelerate or put the engine under load. It runs OK if you hold it at the same speed. It sounded like it did once when I got the wires wet, but the engine is dry. There was some oil down in...

    Need headlight switch pigtail.

    My headlight switch plug on the harness is all melted from the wires being old and corroded. I assume it's really pushing alot of resistance and it's heating up and the lights will shut off. I found a new switch, but I need the plastic plug with wire leads on it so I can replace it. Does...

    Cooling fan quit working!!

    My cooling fan quit working about 2 months ago, but here in Michigan, it didn't matter... yet. Now it's getting warmer. I tested the motor which I replaced last year, it works. The main fuse on the firewall is ok. I replaced the relay box last year. Anyone know what else could cause it not to...

    ABS kicks on for no reason

    It's definitely the ABS, I can feel it and I hear the ABS making noise from the engine. The brakes are all new, including rotors. That article describes exactly what I've been experiencing. It is losing it's stopping power when it kicks on. I can understand why. I also looked at it and it's...

    ABS kicks on for no reason

    I have a '92 SHO and when I am coming to a stop, the brakes are fine, then after a couple seconds, the ABS is coming on. The pedal is vibrating like crazy and the pavement is totally dry. It stops if you let off and hit the pedal again. It also seems to pull to one side when this happens...

    I have a '92 SHO and was looking for some small replacement dash bulbs, one for the clock and one for the auto headlight control. Does anyone know where you can get them? Thanks
