Have long been intrigued by the Ford SHO and the quality of the engine. Just purchased a super clean 1994 and thought it would be good to get involved in a SHO Forum when needing some feedback.

Welcome. This place is a plethora of information.

Welcome in. This is the place to be. Loads of information at your finger tips.

Post some pics when you can.

I just purchased a 1994 SHO with 90,000 automatic, 3.2. I have a skip in the engine at idle, but when you accelerate, it smooths out. I've noticed while going into a curve and letting off the gas, and then assuming acceleration, it skips a bit. Anyone else had this problem? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Welcome

“oh yeah, it has a plethora.”

Welcome! Pull your codes as a start to figure out what is going on.

Check your plugs and wires. Pull any codes. after that I would look at the IAC or the TPS. spray clean you MAF while you're poking around under the hood.

Thanks, I appreciate your input! Will give that a try.

Welcome. I'm new here also, this forum is a goldmine in information about the sho.

check spark plug wells for oil, that will do exactly what you are describing in my experience

 

[Mike@154]

Thanks for your feedback. I will check that.

I purchased the huge shop manual but I would like a book that just covers the Sho engine for troubleshooting and repair. I find that the big book that I purchased seems to cover diagnostics mostly and it isn't helping me with the skip in the engine that I'm experiencing. Thanks so much!

I have the engine manual for the 3.0 not 3.2.... is there one for a 3.2?

 

[zoomlater]

I have only seen one engine book. The book is how the engine runs and information about it. Do you have the Helms manual, that has information on how to trouble shoot. It's at the bottom of the first link. The second link has helpful photos

What is your email and I can send you the 3.0 manual...some of it will apply to the 3.2 and every little bit helps right.

Thanks so much!

 

[luigisho]

The 3.0 engine manual is almost everything you need for the 3.2. A few differences. I'm not sure what is in the 94 manual on ebay but I have used the 89 sho specific manual for all my GenI/II cars (which were all 3.0 manual cars)
