This doesn't keep all the rain from coming in but it helps. I can no longer go through a car wash because it floods the inside of my car. I now have a plastic bucket on the passenger floor board in case it rains while i am driving so the…

Now a mechanic says i have a faulty computer. 3 years of it acting this way.. Computer diagnosis showed many things messed up, even after replacing all of those (and i am sure some were uneeded) the car is still in limp mode, has…

Pcm module/crash data report says that the throttle position sensor went to 100% with accelerator at 60% and then the throttle stayed wide open until accelerator pedal was released to approx 23% percent. Why is there a 40% difference in the pcm data from accelerator pedal position to the throttle position. At the trial a guy from ford said this is normal and the throttle is designed this way.

Many have asked and wondered why a piece of white foam exists over the electrical box (sjb) within their passenger compartment side kick panel. Well, in response to…
