The op last signed in on the day they posted this. It was their only post. It's highly unlikely they'll be back after 14 years.

Good luck. Some things are available, but most of them are customized for Ford.

Picked up a few parts yesterday. Exhaust manifolds. They're from a 96 Explorer. Shouldn't matter except for the EGR hole. Rusty valve covers. Fuel lines and dipstick/tube. A couple other goodies. I pulled the plugs from new engine Sunday. They looked pretty good, even though they are...

Looks like it should be a white with red or purple stripe. Likely connected to pin 48 of the PCM.

Definitely changed at some point then. Mine is a single stud with a plastic bushing. Seems like it would still need some kind of cushioning somewhere.

Depending on the failure, yes it's possible. Though usually they just stop and or blow fuses.

It won't. Therein lies your problem. Question is, have you checked the 5v reference? Sounds like you have, but what is it? If you know that have a true 5v from the PCM but less at the TPS then the only real option is to fix the resistive wiring in between. I suppose a 5.1v source could be used...

Is there supposed to a picture here? I don't see anything. At any rate, I've never seen a regulator/rectifier that need anything other than a solid and maybe conductive mount.

Pretty sure there should be a bushing on that latch pin too...

I've read that somewhere.. Wish I could find a link for ya. But the idea was that yes the top of the beam should be level at ride height.

Picked up a replacement engine. Coming from a 94 Aerostar, so far I've noticed that the engine mount plates, passenger side exhaust manifold and valve cover, oil filter adapter, and wiring harness look different. Oh, and the dipstick is destroyed. Anybody know any other differences? Wonder...

In theory, it might flex enough be removable anyway. I wouldn't expect that however.

I feel like we could line them up for the next few months...

I was lucky that my place came with one. I've used it plenty.

Seems to be the only way I learn sometimes. LOL

Sounds like a classic vacuum leak to me, but; if the O2 sensor wiring was melted, it may have blown something in the PCM

I don't think I've ever seen anyone make wheels before. It looks effective.

I'm surprised it took this long for someone to say that. Fairly well known issue. Ford tried to stop people overrevving their automatic trucks in neutral/park.

I'll second that. Starter shims are a Chevy thing... Ford's tolerances are better. Never seen a shim on any Ford.
