    Missfire, mini tune up & spark plug question.

    A week or so ago I got on the gas pretty hard in my 97 Cobra and my engine started running really rough and died a few seconds later. I was afraid I may have over revved it and maybe bent a couple of valves. I have never messed with the spark plugs in my car, the place I bought it from put new...

    I think my alternators voltage regulator is blown, anybody have the same expierence?

    So I was out at Autozone (the irony) getting parts to fix my 4Runner and I decided to get a little frisky and lay into the throttle coming out of the parking lot with a nice fishtail. Well right after that, my battery light came on and the voltage gauge would dang near peg to max, and strangely...

    Is ALLDATA worth it?

    I have been considering getting an ALLDATA subscription for my Cobra. If I did get a subscription, I would go for the 5 year for $44.95. However I have never used their DIYer section, and I would really like to know first, if its any different than a Haynes or Chilton paperback manual? I would...

    Power Steering Pump change?s

    Over the past few weeks I have noticed the distinctive werrr noise from the P/S pump, and its been getting worse. I checked my fluid level and its good, and I don't see any bubbles popping up in the reservoir either. Which leads me to believe the P/S pump is on its way out. I have some Lucas Oil...

    Custom made coolant crossover plug.

    So today I did a little work on my Cobra to fix a coolant leak, and I wanted to do a cooling system burp. I don't remember tightening the coolant crossover plug as tight as it was, I even tried tapping it with a hammer in hopes it would break loose. Unfortunately, I pushed it a little too far...

    Vibration while cornering

    I got my 97 Cobra back in April of this year, and its always had a vibration the comes around during cornering under moderate and up throttle use, and there is a little vibration under heavy, almost to the point of WOT straight line acceleration. I was told the rear axle was rebuilt when I...

    Backseat headrest pad repair... how to!

    Hi everybody, I have created a fix for the mounting tabs that break off the backseat headrest pad. Two of the three tabs were broken on mine and I decided to break the last one off and make 3 new mounting tabs. Sorry if the pictures aren't that good, I used my potato (iPhone 5S). I hope this...

    Cooling issues, weird things happening.

    First off, yes I have searched, and I haven't really come to a conclusion from what I have read in other threads. My temp gauge seems to be reading higher than other threads I've read through. This might be a little bit of a long read, but I'm not sure what else to do. I got my car the last...

    Help me find this song please.

    Ok, and I know this is kinda like asking for the answer to what women want, but this is driving me nuts. Off and on for the past two weeks I have had this little short clip of a song flashing in my head. I can only remember a tiny bit of the lyrics. What I can say for sure, is that its an 80's...
