What up! I have been working on my 89 2.3l and I just want to verify it's either my starter or solenoid that needs to be replaced. A few weeks ago I was in drive-thru turning my car on and off to keep it from overheating (not fan currently) and I accidently hit my ignition while the car was...

Car idles, runs, & drives fine. After 45mins to 1hr of driving around Freeway/In Town the vehicle will die an not start back up right away. I will have to wait about 5-20mins before it fires up again. Some times it has loss of power after coming to a stop, the speed gauge only will start to move...

Hi Guys, just joined the forum. I came across the forum in search of some escape from my tragic story that I am about to share with you all today. If you would bare with me. I just bought a used 2016 ecboost on Thursday April 25th some 2 hours away from where I live in Southern California. I...

So my 2.3l LX 89 Automatic the other night whilst driving died. Was shifting from 2nd to 3rd and I suddenly lost all throttle response in gear, engine still running but just rolling. I pulled into a gas station and turned it off, opened the hood and really didn't find anything out of usual at...

Ok this is going to be a little winded but I want to try and give all the info I have. First, my "baby" is a 1989 LX 2.3L coupe that I have done a lot of restoration to already, both cosmetically and mechanically. I have run into a huge challenge and I am hoping that there is someone on here...

My 2012 3.7L V6 has impressive power. I have never used anything but premium fuel. I drove a 2015 2.3L at the same dealership where I bought my 2012 3.7L. I was very unimpressed with the performance of the 2.3L. It weighs more than mine, the dealer was probably not running premium gas as...

Hey guys, I bought a new blow off valve to replace my old leaky one. Its currently located about 5-8in before the compressor and turbo, after the intercooler. Is there a better place to locate it? Its has been working fine where its at, I just want to know if its beneficial to move locations...

Hello, I have a 1989 mustang (A4LD transmission) that i just overhauled the valvebody on, When I put it back together and filled it with the right ammount of fluid, etc, nothing i can do will make it shift into reverse. The engine will rev up a little bit like its about to drop into reverse but...

Hi guys; I have an 89 Mustang LX 2.3L convertible that has stripes, a pony and LE on the lower panel. My question is this. I have never seen another Mustang like this. IS this a Limited Edition or what. Any thoughts out there?

Hey, I'm going to be replacing my springs and shocks all around on my 1992 2.3L and possibly some control arms. My ride right now is TERRIBLE, I feel every single teeny little bump. I am 99% sure that the suspension hasn't been touched since it rolled out of the factory so I am hoping new parts...

I need one, new or used. Does anyone know where I can find one or does anyone have one for sale? I've been to every junk yard around here and nothing. Does the 5.0 work on my car? Thank you for the help.

Aloha, Had a question about my 2.3 idle speed. Where should it be? At start up it runs about 2100 after a few minutes of warm up it drops to about 1000 rpm. Thanks for your help. And I noticed the throttle body has a sticker that says don't adjust idle screw CCW. Refer to manual. anybody know...

I just got an 88 mustang with a 2.3l turbo it is not a SVO. I want to get about 300 to 350hp out of it. Planning on putting on a lil bigger turbo, front mount i/c, injectors, and getting a tune. What else could get me closer to the hp I am looking for? Also read that may need to bore the head is...

Here's another problem you all have seen many times on these forums - turn signals not working. I just bought this 88 2.3L hatch about 2 months ago and the turn signals were not working whatsoever. I DO have headlights, tail lights, and brake lights. Outside cornering lights choose when they...

Hi everyone, Im new to the site but I just bought this 93 2.3l automatic and the transmission works great in all gears except it will not go into overdrive so at highway speeds the RPMs are around 3500 instead being around 2500. What could be the cause of this and what should I be looking at to...

Hi, I currently own a 1993 hatch 2.3 lx (first car). I've put about 25000 km on it since I bought it at the end of August. Recently it has been giving me problems and I can't seem to find what it is. The car seems to intermittently run on 3 cylinders. It has progressively gotten worse over the...
