[Black95GT]

OK I just picked up a 95GT knowing it had transmission issues. (auto)

1. the car will not start sometimes: I thought it was the battery negative, I did change the post connecter. But every now and then I have to play with the shifter lever to get it to turn over. I read something about an ignition module?

2. Gas gauge sit just above E, is there abnything other than the sending unit that will cause this?

3. Heater: the air is not hot, just a little WARM is there anything other than the heater core?

4. Beeping: sometimes the car will beep when I start it... 5 Beeps ten pause 4 times. The stereo face plate is missing, the previous owner is supposed to send it to me.

If it wasme:
I would be looking to a switch that is affilated with the shifter. Like the reverse lights on older cars was just a switch that the gear selector hit once you put it in reverse. So I would be looking for a switch maybe under the car or under the shift boot that might be loose.

The sending unit is just a pot (potential meter or variable resistor is you may) it just sends resistance readings I am assuming to not have power near the gas. That is like old school gas sending units, who knows what they got now. If it doesnt move at all I would look at the sending unit or take the dash out and look for burnt traces. You can take the take the clear bevel off and then use a small screwdriver to pry off the gas and temp gages, be careful, I have found messing around too much can mess them up more.

Can you get any cold air or is it all the time just warm. If its always warm I would look into the heater controls not being hooked up. I am assuming has water, no water nothing to heat up of course. Other then that I got nothing.

If there is a manual I would scan that real quick looking for something that might explain the beeping. My wife has this nice stereo that was in the car when we bought it. I know that annoying makes all kinds of racket when you start or kill the motor.

Thanks for response...

I am taking the car back to the shop that fixed the tranny, maybe they left something loose.

Sending unit: The gauge moves a little above an 8th, and lowers to empty eventually. I think I will change that when it get's warm enough to lay on the concrete. I had the dash open the other day to change the headlight switch.

It get's a little warm, I tried the AC too and that wasn't very cold. I was sort of hoping to find someone who had the same issue and found an quick fix

A lot of the reading I have been doing is leading me to believe the air bags are missing. The car is from Oregon and has a rebuilt title, it has had front end damage. My steering wheel is probably full of news paper. LMAO!!! oh the stere was an aftermarket eclipse which I replaced with an alpine.

Thanks for the input.

My car too has a rebuilt title thus allowing me to get it cheap. I dont mind, I plan on never getting rid of the car.

I dont know what I was thinking about the switch I must of thought your reverse light was coming on. If it doesnt start I would be looking under the dash around your clutch pedal. I have to push my clutch in to start it no matter what gear its in. Thus coming to the conclusion that your car doesnt car what gear its in as long as the clutch is pushed in, in order to turn over.

This is what I found when I cracked my dash open. My temp gauge didnt work and after replacing all the sensors it still jambed over to the extreme hot at start up and stayed there. After I took the dash out I took off the clear bezel. Now you should be able to touch the needles and what not. Take a small screwdriver and pry the black face way little by little working your way around the black bezel.

You will see a bronze cup around the gauges, and if you felt bored take the cup off. This is the part you need to be careful and have patience. Then you will see wiring wrapped, very thin wiring, around the gauge. On my temp gage I had three pronges at the bottom with the thin wire saughtered to each pronge. One of the wires was broke so I resaughtered it hoping it was the fix. It was by the way.

Other then that go to a junk yard and pick up a gauge since you have your dash off, if your not to comfy with doing what I did. I was bored one night and fighting with my wife so I had to stay out in the garage as it was. It was a what the hell cant make it worse kind of fix.

Yeah I got mine for 2100 and a case of beer. Fixed the auto tranny for 1600... not bad but it needs paint.

Actually I have a auto tranny. I am thinking it was the neutral saftey switch.

I will have to check out the gage thing over the weekend, I guess it wouldn't hurt as it is not working anyway.

Thanks for the info, I think I will give it a shot.

[Alex Dring]

Cool hope it works out for you. I had plenty of time like I said so I looked and looked and evaluted everything before I moved on the next level when I took mine apart. I know just about enough about electrical to be dangerous.

I bought my stang for 3k in Portland, everything worked ok, but it was real cheese balled together. I am on the up hill of it though, after alot of correcting wiring issues and maintence on other sensor like cleaning the AIT sensor the car is acting like its coming alive all over again. I love it.

[Black95GT]

Yeah I bought the car knowing it had issues, small things I can live with... I will just have to tackle them one at a time, as far as electrical... well I can get it done if there are enough picture. LOL I think I will pull the gage and try your suggestion. Couldn't hurt I guess...

Thanks Again.
