1. PIP inside the distributor causing no start problems: Origional is only good for about 150k Miles. Remanned units can be scetchy (some good some bad). OEM remanned or new still better than most aftermarket. PIP can be replaced for cheap but whole dizzy will need to be disassembled.
CC’S95GT
2. CCRM: contains relays for: cooling fans, a/c compressor, fuel pump. Basically unserviceable
CC’S95GT
3. Trans.: T-5 input shaft and bell housing is about 3/4" longer than a fox t-5 making finding good used units difficult and more expensive

4. Idle issues caused by IAC

5. TPS issues

9. Voltage piece on auto trans
the5.ohh
10. Throttle cables are nonexistent, must find a junkyard piece or custom fab something
RichV
11. Heel/toe shifting. extremely difficult due to pedal placement
RichV
12. Headers are special to the 94/95 5.0 model for emissions
RichV
13. Still OBD1
