ok i changed the sensor and as soon as i bolted everything back up and cranked her up, the code was constant...at idle and all. so i drove to the gas station and the heat shot ALL the way up.....WTF???? is that a false reading or something?

test it? like give it power and see if it does anything?

are the symptoms im having relate to the sensor?

and can the sensor actually be reading the correct numbers, and there be a real problem?

then what, replace it?

hey guys im back again and i threw a code: 9--Water Thermosensor. the symptoms were at WOT, the engine would fall on its face and then pick up after a second. it also did this right after shifting gears. i threw a code once it warmed up, but it occasionally went off and then back on. i pulled the co...

i thought about caring....does that count?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: you're refering to mx3kids's thread right? hahahaha well the light went off, i think after i reassembled everything, cleaned out all the connections, and got it running after a few weeks, i think it just needed a few drive cycles to realize whatever was wron...

nah, not really

oh ya you better believe it. never got held up by any snags, usually you run into a few. now i just gotta clean up the interior and it'll be all set for a DD.

The throttle cable is a good idea, but IMO, only if there is play in the accelerator pedal. I thought it was best for the butterfly valve to be in the closed position when at idle, and tightening the throttle cable will open it more. I know it's set so that there's a tiny opening and it doesn't qui...

It probably came out of a 1.8 sohc protege, look for a stamping, if it starts with f, you are good to go, if it starts with g, you might need to swap axles too because then it would have came from a 1.8 dohc. You should just have to swap on your speedo cable and wire up your neutral switch and reve...

hey this tranny came outta a car that had the 1.8 ltr......are there any plugs/wires/harnesses/connections that are different?

well im not in a huge huge hurry, but it would be nice to have the car up and running


but i do not like getting fucked with.

Ok so wtf. i pay for the tranny last thursday and the swear it'll be ready for pickup on friday....well it wasnt. then they said latest saturday. never got a call. and their closed sunday. then i call this morning and 'theyre still pulling it'......right? then i call today after work and they are, y...

well what i did with the stang was i measured the needed length of the belt to bypass the power steering. went to autozone and got a Goodyear Gatorback. at first, it was a track-only mod, but i got used to it and started to like it. IMO, just do what i did and if you need the power steering for some...
