    "Proper" way to delete thermostat?

    Just finished pulling the radiator. Nothing apparent from the outside, but obviously wouldn't be able to tell much from the outside alone. Denso unit en route since it's $130 on RA.

    "Proper" way to delete thermostat?

    Come to think of it the car doesn't overheat when the hood is popped, so yeah a clogged or gummed up rad seems more likely now, considering if the hood is up that extra airflow thru the bay could negate the clogged up airflow thru the rad. Or maybe I'm talking out my ass. I'm young, broke, and...

    "Proper" way to delete thermostat?

    If I just start and warm the car up it won't overheat, but after about 10 minutes of actual driving is when I see heat creeping up. Rad fan kicks on just fine. I could try pulling the radiator and seeing if that's clogged. Car was fine for months, then I had the stock rad cap start leaking...

    I went thru Rockauto, which I've never had incorrect part issues thru them before

    "Proper" way to delete thermostat?

    Hi all, I have an 01 Cobra that has been a nightmare to be honest. I "fix" one thing, it either comes back or something new, or both. I'm moving for work and I'm tired of losing so much money on a car that I thought was going to be a well maintained example, so I'm just needing to sell it. I've...

    WANTED: Looking to buy coolant crossover tube

    I have an 01 Cobra with a seized bleeder valve cap. Even a local shop can't remove it. I'm looking for an affordable replacement tube that guaranteed has a cap that's still removable.

    GEM solution!?

    Do you know if this was causing any issues with your GEM. The sound system could totally be the issue, but the only thing I know for sure with my own car is that the GEM is not sleeping

    GEM solution!?

    I have scoured the Internet, forum after forum, looking for a solution to my GEM issue, and I can not find anything. I have an 01 Cobra I bought with a parasitic draw that was "due to the factory stereo" and in turn had a kill switch wired to the ignition to combat that. As I'm trying to restore...

    Blinkers stop when brake depressed?

    When I'm using my turn signal and touch the brakes, I notice the signals just halt until I release the brake again. From what I've read this is a grounding issue, but with limited electrical experience, I have zero idea where to start. I looked at the rear lights and on the driver's side I saw...

    Transmission clunking into each gear

    I appreciate you all. Definitely will start with the clutch cable since I already have the new Ford one. I guess fluids would be step two, and then bushings and upsized cradle bolts. My mechanic said bushings looked okay but given the situation I really think this particular issue is just...

    Transmission clunking into each gear

    My newly acquired 01 Cobra with T3650 has a quirk I can't quite diagnose. No matter the situation, it almost always clunks into gear when I move the shifter with the clutch entirely depressed. It's more of a quick thud that slightly vibrates the whole car for a split second every time. It's not...

    Cheapest way to cat an 01 Cobra

    I'm a little new to exhaust systems on these cars and I'm looking to cat my 2001 Cobra. Right now it's running stock manifolds, and offroad x pipe of some sort, and then some Flowmasters I believe. My roommate keeps complaining about about how stinky the uncatted car is and how it fills the...

    Best aftermarket IACV

    Recently bought an 01 Cobra and of course it has the horrendous rev hang just like my 02 GT did all those years back. I've read one potential fix is to replace the IACV. I figure the car is older, has 130k miles, might as well even if it's not the source of the problem. I found a Ford parts site...
