Greg / GMAN, Call me, I've been trying to reach you by phone. Mike / Nightsky

Reducing price Reducing price, now $2000. Amazing how getting married, having kids, going back to school, and working full time can degrade a car.... Pictures: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/115004840680094453987/albums

Hope a few guys here remember me... Since I stopped being active in the Mark VIII communities I've almost completed by career change to Mechanical Engineering and will start with BP in late June. I've had two kids, a beautiful daughter who is now 2 and a new son born just a week ago. The Mark...

Hey, this is Mike, am I working on your car? :)

I completely agree. If you did not change the boot you missed the problem. The boots go bad on the 97-98's, not the coils so much...

Nah, I think GMAN is right about it being security. I was a firefighter around Houston for 9 years and the outside lights have to be red or the cops will pull you over. Blue and yellow is security. Mike

Check the differential mounts. The way that is chewed up brings memories of when I broke my rear diff mount and dropped it to the ground.

Hey, Texas meet? Sounds like the old days.. :) 2000-2002 we had some fun... http://nightsky.home.texas.net/markviii/events.htm (Sorry, I sucked at pictures back then...) I'll be in if I have the car back in order... Mike

How did he check if it was the CPS or not? This is "almost" always the problem with a cranking no start... The other would be a blown fuse... (Just ask GMAN about that one...) ;) Mike

How long after starting the car do you get the warning? ie. Right away, 90 seconds, after reaching highway speeds, etc. I am betting it is trying to vent and not lowering the car like it should. The vent solenoids go bad and then the car will not lower at speed. If you get the message a...

If you put new orings in you might have got the wrong thickness. They come in all different diameters. Might try getting a #2 if you put in a #1, etc... Mike

I can confirm everything said here from the fix from FORD working and the rumor that changing your fluid after 80,000 miles of neglect will kill the tranny. I have had both happen. The first time I had the shudder (VERY Light) I had my fluid changed at a quick lube place. It died 2000 miles...

GMAN, Sealy is shut down... New owner said he was not making any money and defaulted on the purchase. Hopefully the old owner will open it up next year again since it was owner financed. Sounds like he made some good money on the default.... :) Baytown is still open and so is one over near...

The tranny flush is correct, I would also pay for a tranny service a month later. The reason for this is that the flush will break loose a bunch of crap and the tranny filter can get clogged with crud and cause you problems. Mike

Mark VIII Calculator The new G-Techs are really close. Here is the equation for what a stock 93 will run not counting the barometer (can't give away all my secrets). 14.2 + (Temp-40)/100 + (Humidity-60%)/150 + (Altitude)/1000 Only if above 60% This...

Torque convertor gets the RPM higher before launch. This gets you into the higher torque range of the engine. Gears do the same thing but give you more torque over the entire range. A torque convertor should not affect your highway milage but the gears will drop you a mpg or two depending on...

That stall is working good... Gets your RPMs up quick. When you change that speedo gear your car will shift later (higher RPMs) and keep you up in the power band. You'll loose that bog after the shift. You should be running about a 13.8 on a standard day with that combo. If you want more...
