Hey Homies WUT WUT WUT. What's crackin'. It's John from the Couve Representing!!!! But not representing the Camaro club... I just got a new vehicle. an 88 Ford Mustang LX for 200 bucks! It's a 2.3 litre little engine and has some problems, such as surging and cutting out while accelerating and not accelerating, but it'll get me back and forth to work. No lights nor electronics on the inside work. The gauges and Dummy lights work but the illumination does not, locks don't work, and niether do the power mirrors, but all that can be changed. It doesn't have a stereo and when i turn on the fan/defroster, the windows fog up, so I'm guessing bad heater core. Fun fun, but it's gas mileage, and will look decent when i get stuff from the junkyard and get the interior bs working. Just thought i'd say hi and say i'd truly went to the darkside. MUUHAHHAHAHAA

Nothing that can't be... Remedied Wink

I happen to have a 4.0 liter from my totalled explorer in the garage... Im thinking turbo 4 litre? Swap out the harnesses the injectors and the whole motor and ecm units. should fit in there easily. Then a junkyard turbo project? And still get gas mileage!

actually that cutting out and no acceleration isnt a problem. Its just letting you know you have a 2.3 ford.

Actually, That was the # cylinder wire not being fully connected to the spark plug wire! Runs much better now Wink
