    Engine stuttering problem...

    Fuel filter is about two years old, and the plugs have been in there for about 5000 or 6000 miles. Next time I have a plug socket handy I'll climb in there and look around.

    Engine stuttering problem...

    When I am cruising at about 2000 to 2500 RPM and step into the throttle a bit to try and pick up speed, the engine hesitates and stutters, almost like a misfire. It happens more while I'm moving than when I'm accelerating from a stop. It isn't the TPS, because I just replaced that about six...

    DPFE code (what is this?)

    DPFE = differential pressure feedback EGR, I believe. 327 indicates DPFE output circuit below minimum voltage. So something in your EGR system is out of whack. Other than that, I'm not much help.

    Please, use good oil....

    I burn a quart of GTX every 500 miles. Does that count? :mad:

    Wiper blade not maintaining tension against windshield

    As long as I've had my SHO, the driver-side wiper blade does not maintain contact with the windshield. It looks okay when parked, but lifts off when the wipers are moving. I figured maybe the springs in the arm weren't holding the blade against the glass, but I put a new arm on and it did the...

    So I changed my TPS last night.

    Car was bucking VERY hard under light throttle...like, I would step on the pedal and it would lose power for a second or two, then THUMP! as the engine regained power and bounced off the hood, causing the whole car to lurch back and forth. The CE light was flashing on and off as well, so I...

    1. Never let that mechanic near your SHO again. 2. See shotimes.com procedure on changing crank position sensor. 3. Change crank position sensor. 4. Enjoy. :D

    Cut out shifter boot? Ever been done?

    I was thinking about doing that the other day. Not a bad idea, if you can come up with the resources to do it. thumb

    Nope. And that's really not a can of worms you want to open here, either. The discussion has been had before; do a search.

    Changing spark plugs

    FWIW, I had Splitfires in my '92 Escort, and any performance gain was trivial at best. If anything, I got worse gas mileage after installing them.

    My SHO needs a new water pump....

    The timing belt has to come off to change the water pump, so replace it while you have the front of the engine torn apart. The crank position sensor should be replaced as well; it involves a bit more work to get to it, but it's not very difficult. If you're feeling frisky you can change the...

    Where do I find the CTS ?

    IIRC = If I Recall Correctly The coolant temp sensor is right next to the thermostat; it's under the throttle body and has a single wire attached to it. I got one for about $3 or $4 at Advance.

    Different DIS modules?

    My car is a '90, and its original DIS module had an E9 part number. The replacement one has the F1 prefix, though.

    SHO stalls while driving won't start for 15minutes?

    Sounds like the crank position sensor. Do a search; there's lots of information about it here. There's a replacement procedure on SHOtimes.com, too.

    Sound of metal banging together when idling.

    Could be rod knock, in which case you might want to get those rod bearings changed very soon. A low oil level would definitely exacerbate the condition.

    Frozen slider pin on right rear...what to do?

    I got my front brakes done easily enough, but one of the slider pins in the right rear brake assembly is frozen securely in place, and a liberal soaking of WD-40 didn't even faze it. The other pin started moving without WD-40, but took a lot of working back and forth. The frozen pin won't move...
