Re: Need some tire thoughts

What sort of springs do you have in the car? Why do I ask? If stock mushy springs, you'll have a great chance of tire-wheel lip conflict if you start going with larger and wider tires. On my car, which is raised from stock height with stiffer springs, I have no such concerns. I have 16x215/50 in fro...

DG 8.8 Rear Anti-Rollbar Mounting Brackets

Probably the only time you'll find this listed separately, it's the custom-fabricated anti-rollbar mounts designed to work with the David Godfrey 8.8 rear-end assembly. I got them from DG about 15 years ago and have finally decided I'll never get around to using his anti-rollbar setup. $95 DG-Sway-1...

Re: Sudden Intermittent High Idle

Took the Scorpio in for it's annual inspection this morning. About a mile out, I briefly had the car in neutral and noticed the idle was ~2200 RPM. I was on a straight downhill so I decided it was time for a rolling test... Shut the engine off and immediately re-started - idle calmed right down to ~...

Re: Sudden Intermittent High Idle

What is interesting is the only failure that turns on "Idle Speed - Fixed duty cycle" for the Scorpio is failed Throttle position Sensor. This is no surprise, it is a potentiometer and the wiper contact wears. I have replace more than one TPS. Moreover it fails intermittently. So if you h...
