Re: 2.3 TURBO

the turbo lag sucks on wheeling. so you're changing from a V6 to a 4 cyl. you need low end, not mid to high end. also if the recall to install the water cooled turbo never got done, it won't last.

Re: Voltage to Ignition Coil-No spark-Help

if you're getting spark out of coil wire and not to the plugs, it's rotor or cap. if nothing out of coil wire, could be dist. stator or TFI mod... just throwing it out to you

Re: Two electrical questions

i would hook the oil pressure light up to the radio light wire LB/R (light blue with red tracer) as most people have put in a non-stock radio and this wire is not used. it's in the radio wire connector and would work only when the lights are on. i would replace the knock sensor.

Re: Oil pressure guage drops out

Check it with a physical gauge while driving. that will tell you. on the 5.0s i've seen cam bearings do this but not on 2.9s. did i scare you?

Re: hello, 89 broncoII i just bought it i have a few questions

if it ain't broke, don't fix it. check your tierods 1st. have someone move the steering wheel back and forth with the engine running, E brake on to check for looseless at tierods and draglink.
