Your posts are getting confusing , you said that it guzzles gas when you drove it , if its got an evaporation style leak and it was going threw a significant amount of fuel then you would have a very strong raw fuel smell , if its got that kind of raw fuel leaking or fuming out from anywhere its...

Where is the fuel leak .. not something to take lightly , I am assuming its internal ie injectors not closing properly or possibly the regulator diaphragm , if it was external you would be losing enough fuel to make it incredibly dangerous to drive .

No cats should be alot louder underneath , plugged cats will be alot quieter than stock . If someone near you can lend you an ECU to swap just in case the injector drivers are not working properly that's a fairly easy test.

Plugged cats ?

I pulled the pan , but to do it as MadMikey said, I had to drop the K member ... process was , use an over the frame/fender rails engine support sitting on the upper shock towers with small pcs of plywood to protect the paint , put a bit of pull on the adjustment hangers to keep it in its...

Maybe he was thinking cylinder [ boosted ] pressure, the higher the cylinder pressure and or plug gap the harder it is for the spark to jump .. " blow it out " is a term used for years but really from my experience its always meant spark can not jump the plug gap.

Thanks Doug , I have the turbo fairly low on the passenger side so not enough natural drop for it drain properly at that point .. would have been much simpler .

Thanks Adam for your input , looks like the cross member needs to drop or just pull the engine and do a few upgrades at the same time .. turbo will be low boost, maybe 7-10lbs tops [ at this point ] , just for a bit more fun driving it .

Thank you MadMikey , I figured that was the last resort , hoping to not have to support the engine to undo the sub frame .... don't want to mess up the fresh engine bay paint etc . Was hoping someone has had experience in getting it out with possibly jacking the engine up off the mounts enough...

Anyone with experience with this ? . I have to install an oil drain fitting on the pan for the turbo , trying to avoid pulling the engine , but can be done if needed.. unfortunately this will then encourage further mods like heads etc that I really should not be putting on this engine. Thank...

The connector with the three wires looks like its for the coolant level sensor . Not sure if its mandatory in the system to run the engine , ie fail safe shut down , but it could trip a code on the EEC. The plastic mass air may be a newer Ford unit from a lightning or similar larger bodies MA's...

Hi Drew. We will be driving the 93 again this year, just doing a few mods to it at the moment . If they start the Picton Arm Drop drag race events again at the Picton Air Port that would be a great place to meet and also anyone wanting to run their car can do so.. a bit of a trek from the GTA...

cam sensor x 2 . Check for clean connection first .

They are crappy sheet metal nuts that will most likely disintegrate when you try to turn them , spray a pile of WD onto them , let it sit for a few minutes , wipe off access, then attempt to get a smaller locking needle nose pliers in there to get them to turn or a slightly larger socket with...

He was looking for advice about the procedure , and others were simply responding in the way they deem to be helpful , obviously not the way you want it .

Everyone including you are not letting it rest in peace, for the same reason everyone else doesn't , to add their opinion and experience to the topic that others will hopefully benefit from , people read these posts looking for information , so more posts , more information. .. ten people can...

I have taken a look at a few posts here , unless its a race car , and that is even stretching it , butchering up the car for this is nuts, ....drilling , cutting near a gas tank just to avoid a few hours to remove it properly is completely hillbilly and also dangerous in the future if there is...

1200+ is nuts , yes it is a big job but not brain surgery , unless you are rolling in the cash and don't care about paying that , I suggest getting a friend or two that have some mechanical experience and take a run at it , you have enough info here to know what to look for and avoid ..you...

" if he can't even locate the heater hoses, find a different mechanic " x 10 You may eventually have to fix what he did not know about . Pulling a dash is a big job , so one mistake means two big jobs . Back yard mid level mechanics can do it with fairly basic tools , I have pulled more than a...

Ya, dump that solid bushing , go full bearing . If you don't have a puller, get a rod that will just fit into the hole , pack grease into the bushing hole first then put the rod in and give it a tap with a hammer , it should push the bushing out pretty easily ... " should " .
