ATX Shifter Linkage
Me too... Having the exact same problem with our 95 ATX, except the shifter cable / linkage did break. Had to remove the console and move the cable with back and forth with vice grips. The cable is on order from Ford (about 115 bucks). So here's a bump in hopes that someone who has done this...- shonufftaurus

no start. starter?
Check your connections on the starter. My 95 ATX had a smallish black square connector that slides onto a flat prong on the starter. It stays drenched it oil, looses it gripping power over the years and would continually slip off of its prong creating a no start condition (then I would get...- shonufftaurus

no start. starter?
Started located on front of car right under the oil filter. Make sure the small clip on wire on the starter hasn't pulled loose. This was a constant problem with my 95 ATX. New starters come with better connection method.- shonufftaurus

Cam seal killing Cam Sensor?
Another vote for oil fouling the cam sensor (CID) which can cause the hard starts, but a lot of other things can cause the hard starts as well (weak fuel pump / check valve for instance). For the hunting idle, try cleaning or replacing the idle air control valve / bypass. You need some air...- shonufftaurus

Need help identifying coolant leaking tube.
This is what I did recently. I removed the EGR valve and maybe some other things to get access. Not too bad of a job and it seems to be holding. Edit: If it's leaking on the metal part you might be able to remove it and take it to a welding / radiator shop. It might be too thin to weld...- shonufftaurus

How can I handicap the motor?
I've got the same problem - but with a teenage driver that got his first ticket in the SHO. I was thinking I would just unplug the secondaries, but I don't want to mess up anything else in the process. What's the best thing to do, unplug a vacuum line or the electrical plug for the...- shonufftaurus

Symtoms of crossover tube O-ring leak
No I didn't actually pull the crossover tube out to inspect the O-ring. We gave it some fairly good tugs but then decided to let sleeping dogs lay since I could not see the far end well enough to predict the outcome. I would like to know the procedure in case I ever actually have to do it.- shonufftaurus

Symtoms of crossover tube O-ring leak
Just a follow up. The pressure test revealed a leak at one of the coolant lines at the throttle body. You were right on Scott ! When we removed the water pump I just couldn't get over how much that crossover tube just flops around and in my mind I thought this thing has got to be leaking ...- shonufftaurus

Symtoms of crossover tube O-ring leak
95 ATX here with almost 100K miles. Last night I noticed a new coolant leak in the vicinity of the thermostat that has produced some spatter marks on the intake manifold along with some coolant pooling in pockets in the transmission area and possibly the block. The area under the thermostat...- shonufftaurus
