I've always get a kick out of watching how the cost of technology tanks faster and faster every month, and one of the benchmarks has been flat screen TVs if any brand. So today while taking out the trash, I looked on the back cover of a ShopKo ad booklet and saw 32inchers for......eee...

....ok, I reconsidered, even though I don't really expect a cure (which is why I zipped my lip for the last few weeks +). It's rather annoying that when logging in, the system hangs until you "click here if you don't want to wait any longer" as this is the ONLY way to move on and get in. And...

...pictures (links to) can there be in one post? And if there is a limit, how many in any one thread?

Vehicle desc is in the signature (and vehicle uses MAF) and presents no drivability, fuel consumption, performance or any other concerns. I got curious awhile back and pulled fuel trims and voltages on the upstream O2 sensors; the results are below. This data was taken on a fully warmed up...

Thought I'd post a few pics of a project currently underway in hopes that it may help someone down the road. It started out as replacement of the thermostat housing, a common item to develop a leak on these engines, then in the name of reliability + longevity, I decided to replace the tensioners...

Quick question and confirmation on engine management system operation, fuel delivery in particular, and just in case there could be some exception(s), lets try to rule them out by considering just Ford vehicles, and vehicles using O2 sensors rather than AFR (ie, not the latest/newer technology)...

Learned about this today in my travels...Source: ...What's not to like about 400 - 500 ponies under the hood? Clean, OEM looking, professional quality build.

Has anyone ever replaced one of these units and if so is it *really* a PITA as some people claim or, for people who possess the skill and wrenching ability to do pretty much anything, will find the job to be straight forward, intuitive and with few to no hassles?

Not a bad read, and the results speak loud and clear.http://www.aaa.com/AAA/common/AAR/files/Fuel-Quality-Full-Report.pdf

The proto build begins right after lunch is done. Design has been fully revised, is now dubbed "Concept B", and me can't wait to test. This is all because, every vehicle on the road deserves to have fade-to-off/theater lighting to operate the LED courtesy lighting. :)

I've been happy with the tried and true Tricos and was also satisfied with Anco until they made the arms out of plastic, which I refused to buy. In recent times I've also noticed several newer configurations such as the Bosch Icon and the RainX versions (and other brands) that are low profile...

Saw your other thread. I suggest you check this as it's often overlooked. Aged, heat cracked elbow in the PCV return line, located towards the front of the engine causing a vac leak, and as it progresses you will eventually get P0171 and P0174 lean codes.*Don't forget to look where you...

A little background before asking the question.........Since the last thread concerning the SCP bus, an unexpected discovery was made. The EATC unit is actually, in part at least (and what the ? will be about), communicating with the SCP bus! This is known to be true as the blower motor when...

So I'm in the process of installing this very awesome double DIN Kenwood deck in the Ranger, and man oh man, patience, confidence and courage with the dremmel are a must. Every single part had to be modified, including the deck. So as I get ready to wire it, a question about one of the features...

Got another one here.On a Ford vehicle that uses the SCP bus, if a new module is connected to the bus (ie, a installing a factory option that uses a module, but the option/module were not original to that vehicle), will the module simply grab and use whatever data it needs from the bus or must...
