Howdy from Owasso

Howdy everyone! Proud owner of a 92 LX 5.0 with 250k miles on it. Fixing to start rebuilding it and make it better than new. Can't wait!

Hey Greg! Glad to meet you, and hope you enjoy the club. Before anyone asks, you better get some pics posted, lol.

Tell us more about yourself and your car...

got one posted. that's a start I guess.

Welcome Greg! Glad to have ya aboard. Were doing a cruise to stillwater for the Kicker car show Saturday. If you'd like to join us we'd love to have ya.

Also I'm in Owasso as well, maybe I'll see you around.

Nice fox Greg! Makes me miss my '85. Looking forward to seeing it in person. Welcome to Bold Moves sir.

Nice looking car.. but we need more pics.

Hoping to get it running decent soon so I can drive it a bit. Work on making it pretty later.

Might have some parts left over from the 90 laying around if you need anything. I've had around 10 fox mustangs over the years so if you ever need a hand just say the word.

appreciate it. going to need a good hatch at some point. don't think I can repair the one thats on it. between hail damage and a retarded ex-roommate it's pretty much toast

Don't have a hatch laying around but I'm sure one could be found

Definitely down for helping if needed Greg. Good luck with your build

Oh and welcome, nice FOX!

y'all will just have to be patient. when I get really started on the build I will be sure to post pics.

Welcome Greg.

Fox body in the house! Welcome.

What all work does the car need mechanically?

Welcome Greg!

Damn paul... he just said it needed some work, but in the pic it looks good for a 20 year old car...

I just use a pic of you.

welcome. love the fox! i'd give you a set of rods and pistons but i somehow dont thing you'd like the 12.5:1 compression that comes along with them hahaha

Welcome aboard

right now it just has a cold start issue. runs ok once it warms up. eventually going to drop in a 331 stroker. original tranny is about to go too. all in all it doesn't do bad for the mileage. just a lot of cosmetic stuff and the interior is pretty thrashed

Weleome to BMMC Greg!!!

Still not bad for a 20 year old car... what is the cold start issue? Just rough or what?

Probably just needs the iac cleaned out and idle strategy reset. Easy fix

I had a similar issue with my 88 LX. Not sure what your exact issues are but mine when cold would start, idle a few seconds and quit. The second or third try it would start and stay running. Once the car was warm and I started it, it started everytime. I over time I replaced IAC and TPS and probably tried a few other things. No help. Then I put a fuel pressure gauge on the rail. 32psi. Its been 11 years so my memory is abit hazy but I think it called for stock pressure at 39PSI so I figured fuel pump or regulator. I bought a crane adjustable regulator and set it to 39 psi. Never had a issue with starting again. That may not be your issue but its something to think about. I sure was puzzled when I was working thru my issue.
