yup, sound like you need a total rebuild. check the oil and antifreeze, if they are mixed, you need a new engine.

Most women never even look at anything but the speedometer.

It's likely the car overheated and a major rebuild or replacement is in order. Maybe get by with a head gasket, but something caused it to blow.

head gaskets guys...

No fun, warped heads - you need a new engine, can get a rebuild or a remanufactured from Ford.

Suggest the remanufactured one. 1200 bucks for the engine nother 1200 to install it, she'll be running good as new and you get a 3 year warrenty

Don't forget to replce the 02 sensors after this installation. the anti freeze prolly destroyed them too.

There was a recall on 94-95 with a head gasket. they blow antifreeze gets all around the engine destroying most of it. I had this happen to my 94 at 90 k miles. just sneaks up on ya you have no idea and it happens quickly. driving friends home from school my car barely made it home. had to walk one friend to his house. no fun at all.

Noticed the same thing with the thermo. stayed in the same location for months... must be a sure hint the gaskets are going, after the replacement it will work. (*damn ford :shakes fist:
