Subject: FAQ: How to get help from this board.
If you have a problem with your car and want to see what others who might
have some experience or knowledge to help you solve it or help you decide
what to do about it, PLEASE post ALL the information you have.
While computer geeks world-wide are working feverishly on the application, no
progress has yet been made on the ability to read minds over the net.
Year made, make, model, engine
FULL symptoms.. when it happens and any other info that seems unusual,
whether or not it seems related.
This wont cut it:
"My car wont start, can anyone tell me why?"
Neither will:
"My 92 Taurus 3.8 cranks but start, I pulled the codes and none of them seem
to have anything that helps solve the problem."
"I have fuel pressure and spark"
The above is STILL too general, if you know the codes from the computer, you
should include them. You may well have missed something.
Bear in mind:
The REASON most of us frequent these boards is to share what we know,
exercise our minds analysing problems, and learn something in the process.
It's hard to do that when you dont have all the facts.
If you want MODIFICATION or performance info on a specific type or model of
ford, try the FAQ on "Ford Links"
It may ALSO be a good idea to ask about problems specific to performance
products like the SVT drivetrains on those special interest groups
