Your 1994 Ford Tempo makes a rattling noise when you accelerate?
I had the same problem with mine. There is a metal piece in side of the exhaust pipe that can break loose and resonate (vibrate) with reving of the engine. The cheap and easy fix is to torch a small hole in the exhaust pipe and then weld the loose metal piece to wall of the exhaust pipe then weld the hole shut. Mines been good since.
Please post if this is not the problem.

THE COOLANT TEMP SENSOR ACTS AS A CHOKE FOR THE FUEL INJECTED TEMPO. ITEM IS CHEAP TO REPLACE LOCATED NEAR TOP RADIATOR HOSE ON ENGINE. There is no such thing as a choke on a fuel injected car. If you have to hold your foot on the gas to keep it running, the probable causes of this either a non working idle air control valve(IAC), no PCM signal to the IAC, sludged throttle body or a vacuum leak.
Call "Pop-A-Lock" and for about $20.00 they will unlock your car. Then, . . . put a key somewhere on the outside of your car where you can get to it easyly the next time.
I'll try:
This is a tough one, as these doors have the no knob on the lock rod. You'll need a wedge. Pull out on the top off the door and place the wedge between the car and the door. Now you'll need a long wire-hanger. (I had to twist 2 together for my 1991 Tempo). If you have electric door locks, its easier to hit the button with the hanger. If not, fish after door lock knob, you will need to bend a small circle shape to be able to grip the straight lock knob.
Well there should not be a sleve in the crank snout where the seal lip rides. If there is one, then the crank has been reconnditioned/replaced, or there was damage to the snout, previously. I will recommend leaving the sleave, or replacing it with a new one if it has obtained rotational damage from the seal lip. This happens usually due to oil starvation at the lip ridding area or from a hardenned seal. The sleves may be purchased at your local autoparts and only serve to go over the damaged grove that the seal duged in. If the seal was not leaking and one is replacing the seal as maintenance or timing chain r&r. then leave the sleave in place other that that remove damaged sleve and replace with new one..Hope this helps.. Will..:)

Will a Mustang V8 engine fit in a 1994 Ford Tempo?
You do not have to worry about wiring hanresses. There are a couple ways around that issue, one being carburetion and the other a standalone ECU. In order to give the car structural support for the 302, you just build a chassis. The first thing to do in this case is to design the chassis. To keep the existing ride height you'd want to have the chassis step up in the front and back to hold the suspension at the right height. To make the chassis, buy chassis rail, cut it at the right lengths and angles and weld it together, of course making sure it's as straight as it can get and clamp it in place. Then, drill holes in the chassis to fasten the body and drill corresponding holes in the body. After this is done fasten the body to the frame to make sure everything fits right and if some holes don't line up you can drill new ones close by. Then unbolt it and begin suspension work on the chassis. For front suspension I would recommend double-wishbone IFS from a Mustang II, modified to fit. Make the mounts and weld them on. For the rear I would recommend a 9 inch with an LSD or a Detroit Locker. You can modify fox body engine mounts to fir the motor and the same for the transmission, or even design the chassis so it fits the mounts with no modification. Also, I'd put coilover shocks in the front and rear. For the engine I would use a junkyard 302 rebuilt if stock were the idea, but personally I'd rather skip that if it were affordable and use a Dart iron block and IHS iron heads, then go all out with a forged rotating assembly, all ARP bolts and ARP head and main studs, Comp Cams or Crane camshaft, chromemoly pushrods, solid roller lifters, adjustable roller rockers, dual or triple valve springs, titanium valve spring retainers, and similar performance goods, plus a couple Vortech V24 Z trim superchargers running about 40-50 combined psi. But that takes money. It would make one heck of a sleeper, though. That engine mill would probably run around $15K. Now, the tranny could be a C4, a C6 with an aftermarket bellhousing to mate it to the small block Ford, or just about any type of manual. If it were manual I'd go with a 5 speed Mustang tranny or a Tranzilla, but the Tranzilla is more fitting with the twin blown $15K engine. Also, that same engine could be built for quite a bit less if good used parts are incorporated, such as Dart blocks from a race car switching to a different engine type, etc. After it's all put together, you put on the body. Most likely the hood won't fit, but don't just cut a hole for the filter, you'll regret it. I'd make a sheet metal cowl and weld it on, personally, although you can go fiberglass, too. Also, you could use a dry sump oil pan and use as low an intake manifold as you can find, and an air box to surround the carburetor as opposed to carb hats if you go carbureted. When it's all said and done, such a light and powerful car would be super fast, and you'd probably want a roll cage, too. Anyway, the whole thing isn't for most people, and it would be much cheaper and easier to just buy a fox body, but if you're not discouraged yet then go ahead and build it.
