I copy and pasted alot from my original thread on fordaspire.com.
I just got a 1996 Ford aspire 2dr today. only 100k miles!! Got it for $800. hasnt been inspected or registered in 5 years... it sat in a garage while the owner was in another country. the previous owner's uncle got it running and sold it to me.
It started up great and i drove it 1hour home with cold AC! (have to have ac here in texas)
List of issues-
a lot of popping and rattling coming from the front and back
Steering wheel shakes
Clicking sound when turning hard either way
FIXED fuel gauge not working
ac compressor makes a horruble clicking/ticking when in use
check engine code P0470
FIXED O2 sensor was just hanging loose and the manifold was plugged...
i just finished cleaning the EGR valve and replacing the o2 sensor with a new one. part number 11027 Bosch
I pulled all the spark plugs and i am doing a seafoam piston soak right now. 2 oz in each cylinder for 1hr. then i will fire it up and after a drive around the block i ill do another seafoam treatment in the vacuum lines.
