EFI, A/T, P/S, LWB with 28,000 miles on her has started to crank "excessively" on a cold start. Better on a warm start. It used to snap to attention as soon as you turned the key. This what I've done to date with no luck. Replaced fuel filter New set of plugs New distributor cap New rotor New ignition leads Ran a can of B & G 44k injector cleaner through the front tank (19.0 gals.) Now running a second can of B & G 44k through the rear tank and am about half way through the 18.2 gals. in that tank. I've run out of ideas and I'm not well versed on smog controls or the fuel injection. Any help would be appreciated.

It'll pick back up in a month or so and keep a good pace until fall, then slow down until Christmas, then a week or so after Christmas it slows again until Spring. Its been a pretty consistent cycle for 4 years.

The question is do I need it and if so, how do I replace it? Is the part expensive?>> This topic was discussed on the Taurus SHO list (SHOtimes.com) that I also belong to. The consensus was that stone shields are not required, since some vehicles come without them from the factory. When replacing the front spindles on my SHO (as part of a brake upgrade) I drilled out the rivets holding the stone shields in place on the new spindles and removed them to facilitate cleaning up both parts. I then tapped the mounting holes in the spindles to allow bolting the stone shields back in place. If your stone shields are in decent condition, I would think this approach might work for you (although I can't say I'm familiar with your particular hardware).

One with sticky or corroded contacts can cause your problem. Another culprit could be a weak fuel pump, but we'll save that thread for another day.

I have been lead to believe they are a product of MSD (a licence job?) but the usual source down here doesn't import them. Have had an offer from another source, but I think I'm being 'screwed' - Badly !! An F150, about to receive a 502 cid transplant - don't ask what the donor engine is !!, and fuelled on propane. How many M&M (OHG) 450x mixers will I need. Can I get by on one or will 2 be a better proposition and performance is important....... ... but still having fun in a Ford designed in Detroit and build with a lot of parts from the Ford OZ parts bins .... regards Les Lost in the Land of OZ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Jun 2000 19:18:12 -0400 From: "Theodore D. Mills" Subject: Anti-freeze question Here's a good one maybe for the "professional wrenches" among us. I sent the wife out for a couple of gallons of anti-freeze the other day, so I could top off the overflow tanks on the "fleet". I told her to just get what ever was on sale..... She came back with 2 gallons of "Sierra" propolyene glycol anti-freeze. Gave me the spiel about being less toxic to animals, etc. With 2 dogs running around the yard, I can see the point. My question is, is this stuff compatible with "standard" ethelyne glycol anti-freeze? If it is, I will switch over when each vehicle comes due for coolant service. Right now I just needed to top things off.....

If I recall correctly (and sometimes that's iffy my wife says), no, the Sierra is not compatible. I have also heard that while Sierra is friendly to the environment, it is not so kind to the innards of the motor/radiator. Can't recall the source of it but it did make me drain my rad of that stuff and go back to Prestone.

Zip ! Has anyone really seen it effectivly repell an invasion by stones ? And if the stones are big enough to be causing damage to the shield, may I suggest that your problems may be a lot worst else where under the truck. My experiences over the last couple of years with respect to my F100 has been quite the opposite. My F100 has the stone shields heavily attacked with a 1/2 drill and been swiss cheesed to buggery, an Ambo modification, in the interests of rotor cooling, and I have managed to catch small stones between the remains of the shield and rotor, resulting in terrible noises. If it happens again the shields will go, permanently ! So what do the shields do? When you run over someone they don't burn their fingers or other body parts on the hot rotor ?
