The front is P5, the back is Avant-ish except for the center exhausts...Which are Focus ST/GR Corolla. The HW Garage at work is stacked with them though ;) Gotta Mod one for 3DBotmaker

So you're saying the crank and cams are out of time? Well as stock, none of it is adjustable. You could add in adjustable cam gears/sprockets to correct the timing and adjust on the fly easier, or you could rip it apart and re-time it properly. As long as you know that the timing is the issue...

i went headers, and kept the second cat. I should really get a extender for the O2 and put it after the cat, but that's welding and stuff that I don't have time for.

Can someone tell me why we have 2 intake connectors for PCV? are both necessary? Somehow when replacing the head gasket I lost/threw away the T and didn't realize that the hoses were special molded ridiculum to fit this exact place. if anyone knows the sizes, or if I'd be better off routing in a...

You have a short to ground. Check your battery cables for resistance. Get a circuit tester and start going through one by one and finding it. Electrical gremlins are the worst!!!! Considering it's killed a battery, disconnect your battery and check if the positive cable has continuity to...

Great thread! My tank was leaking a few years ago and I at first tried a Junk replacement... no bueno So I ended up ordering a new one and installing that with a a new pump. More issues from the car being a flood car that the dealer that sold it to me, didn't know about, or didn't disclose.. 🤷‍♂️

Where's your cruise control?

Pulled the head yesterday. A while back dropped a valve when trying to do valve stem seals. Evidently the compressor blew the breaker and the cylinder pressure dropped. 😱 Oh well. All stem seals are replaced now and I'm eyeing VICS/VCTS delete before putting it back together. So many new parts...

A couple of years ago, I went to Utah in winter with a front-wheel-drive sedan and all-season tires. It did okay on packed snowfall, but icy patches were nerve-racking, stopping distances were significantly increased, and turning felt sketchy. If you’ve never experienced slick conditions, it’s...

Looking to see if I can fit a 2002 tribute/escape suspension on a P5. Parts look similar, and I know the sway bar links crossover. Anybody got any hard data on measurements between them? Are Escape parts bigger, but look the same? Yes I'm trying to get this thing springy, possibly on a lift...

umm that don't rust? How about a DeLorean?

Plug and play fix for this: HERE

Plug and play fix is available. HERE ;) No I am not affiliated. just passing along the info

I know this is old but unless you replace the seal with an OEM-like Viton type seal, this will happen. Like this one. None of the rest of the seals at Rockauto have the Clockwise-Spiral Lip Design like the link. Yes they will fit. Yes they will work... for a while :rolleyes:. The link is for...

bump. ;)

Is there a specified clearance of valves to the pistons? How much room is there?

Control arms and rear trailing arms and front and rear sway bar links. Inner and outer tie rods...Also found a transmission leak from the side pan... Anyone know the torque specs on those bolts? Can't be much. They're 10mm. I'm guessing around 3.4kgf Poor girl's dirty....

And yes I'm asking questions and making trouble on purpose... I love how cheap this car is to repair and easy to work on (generally.. if it hadn't been sitting in a flood). But it needs a little more power. Not a ton, but a little. My Expedition can drive more spiritedly. Granted, the Expo came...

What about replacing our normal ECU with a more programmable one? One that say Versatune will work with? I know they're not a direct swap, probably some sort of adapter harness will be necessary... But most of the things that control our car are broken out into separate boxes.. and those of us...

Read this whole thread... I am now frustrated by your frustrations.. lol Once Texas is done with 87 million hurricanes and tropical storms this year, I should move there. I hate the cold. I hate cold tools the most. Nothing worse than grabbing a wrench and it being so cold it hurts your bones...
