What do you need and need to do to covert a 1992 ford Thunderbird from a 3.8 to a 5.0 out of a 87 Thunderbird?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you have the donor vehicle it would make it a lot cheaper and easier. You will need just about everything from the old car. These two engines are completely different. Radiator, mounts, tranny, engine wire harness and sensors. Not to mention the intrument guages are probably different set-up. The fuel pumps are probably operating at different pressures also. The more you have of the old car the better. You will only need the engine and wiring harness. the 3.8 and 5.0 use the same flow fuel pump and the same transmission the radiator in the 5.0 may be larger just take the complete 5.0 with the harness sensors and computer you will have some connections to sort out but that should be all

2004 mazada mpv Cooling fans stays on?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mazda issued a recall for the 2002-2003 MPV Fan Control Module (one module controls both fans). It consistently went bad. I have a 2004 MPV, and though it was not a part of the recall, the cooling fan began behaving erratically several weeks ago. It would seem to run loudly and often even when idling and whether or not the A/C was on. It would even run loudly when the van was first turned on and the engine was still cold. It would often continue to run even after the engine was turned off and the key removed.

After doing some research, I concluded that the fan control module must have failed in mine like so many other people's did. I found replacement parts for around $20 plus shipping online, or about $30 from the local dealer. Since it wasn't a big difference and I wouldn't have to wait, I went with the dealer.

It took about an hour or so to replace on my own. 1) Disconnect the battery and remove it from the engine compartment. 2) Remove the pedestal that the battery sits on (it's connected with four bolts). 3) Disconnect the old FCM from it's mounting (two bolts). 4) Disconnect the three cable from the old FCM (I found it easier to use a small regular screwdriver to press down on the interior connector 'fingers" from the direction opposite the cables). 5) Reconnect the cables, then the mounting bolts, reinstall the battery pedestal and the battery.

This seems to have fixed the problem. No more high running fans or running while the engine is off. I only hope the replacement part doesn't similarly go bad...


Why would your 38L idle at 5000 RPM when in park or neutral?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It shouldn't idle that high the factory idle setting is around 900 RPM's check to make sure nothing is sticking and check vacuum lines. Good luck fixing your problem.

What gas mileage will you get on 1964 thunderbird v8 390?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Aprox 6-9 Mpg depending on how deep you press that shiny little pedal on the right..

I have heard of some people getting 15 mpg on the highway.

15 mpg is about right on the open highway,

I just bought another one of these cars, the first trip I tried was about 14.80 mpg. Now I am going to replace the carb with a new HOLLY and see what it does, If it drops I will go back to the old one. It also helps having a K&N air filter that is a little too tall for the air cleaner so the top of the filter exposes 1/2" above the housing so the engine breaths better.

Why does the engine fan stay on all the time on your 1995 Buick LeSabre?

Also, consider whether or not you have the AC turned on.

Probably either the relay sticking or a bad (or unplugged) engine coolant temperature sensor.
