It’s car 25 in the photo and it’s 25 years since Tony Longhurst rolled out in his new Castrol Ford Falcon EF at Sandown in 1995. Now this would be a 🔥 retro livery, right?! #TeamCastrol #CastrolEDGE #Retro #VASC https://t.co/qtua8PTKOe
Have owned XE, EF, AU, BA and FG Ford Falcons. Was filling up the FG G6 one day and a truckie walking past said "best Falcon ever made, regret selling mine." All good I reckon, every one of them. But he's probably right. https://t.co/NIUDmgCT1G

ford ef falcon Q&A Review
Do coil packs need to be replaced with spark plugs?
It's a good idea to if they're coil on plug ignition coils which have failed. I can remember when my brother replaced all of the spark plugs & ignition coils in his mates Ford BF Falcon which ran the DOHC 4 litre in line six cylinder engine,the pencil ✏️ type Motorcraft ignition coils are failure prone by 100,000 kilometres (60,000.mikes) in them. In this case,4 out of 6 ignition coils failed in it so he replaced all of the ignition coils & spark plugs at 80,000 kilometres (about 48,000 miles). I know that the EF Falcons had a high failure rate as far as ignition coil packs went which is why they went back to a TFI (thick film ignition) distributor ignition system in the next Model — the EL Falcon, but God only knows why Ford Fitted the EF Falcons ignition coil into the next Model — the series 1 AU Falcon which had.the same problem as the EF Falcon did. I know that they changed the coil pack indesign in the series 2 AU Falcon. You may as well have changed the ignition coil packs in the EF Falcon when replacing the.spark plugs !
Why does a 1993 Ford F150 4x4 pickup stall out after it heats up?
In Australia the 1988 onwards Ford Falcons (EA Model onwards) & the Ford Fairlanes had nothing but trouble with EEC-V ECUs failing,the TFI modules on the distributors failing & in an attempt to overcome that they fitted the waste spark ignition coil packs from 1994–1996 into the EF Falcons then they went back to using the single coil & TFI distributor ignition system in the 1996–1998 model EL Falcons that the older EA-ED (1988–1994, 3.9 & 4 litre SOHC in line sixes) Falcons had fitted in them when they had warranty returns due to ignition coil failure in the EF Falcons on their 4 litre in line six. I don't know what prompted Ford Australia to fit the ignition coil pack from the EF Falcon back into the AU series 1 Falcons (1998–2000) after they had nothing but trouble with them in the EF model, they revised the ignition coil pack in the AU series 2 (2000–2002) Ford Falcons then they went to the coil on plug ignition system in the twin cam 4 litre in line six from the BA Falcon onwards (2002 onwards), they usually failed at around the 100,000 kilometre (60,000 mile) mark & I've heard of their ECU's failing in them also. I have just fixed my great uncles adopted daughters Ford EL Falcon after it had a stalling issue, someone had replaced the fuel pump relay which goes bad in that make & model of car but they charged her $280 AUD to fit a $25 AUD part which took them 1/2 an hour to fit & the problem still wasn't fixed. I replaced the EFI relay which is fitted next to it & underneath the coolant reservoir which gets hot which is probably why they fail as I tapped on the EFI relay which made the engine stall but that didn't fix the problem as when the engine stalled the EFI & fuel pump relays were cycling on & off,I also checked the fusible links for hot joints & I checked the battery terminals which were a bit loose,I cleaned & tightened them but that didn't fix the problem either. So I ruled that the ECU was faulty so I ordered a new one for $55 AUD on eBay which has fixed the problem,for now anyway,so they were renowned for ECU failure. I have bought Holden Commodores all my life because I'm a Holden who likes Holdens,I haven't had ECU problems in the Commodores which run a GM engine (5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engine) & I've only had 2 knock sensors fail in a decade & a couple of fuel pressure regulators fail in it,I had an oil pressure sensor go in it back in 2010 at about 200,000 kilometres (it's now done over 366,000 kilometres) but no ECU failure. In Australia,the best thing to do is don't buy a Ford, even the imported Ford Rangers,etc have had troubles with cutting out on their owners !
Which is better: Holden Commodore or Ford Falcon?
It's debatable all depending upon what model & guise (6 cylinder, turbocharged,non Turbocharged,V8, etc) of what Commodore that you bought in the day. My dad drives one which is fitted with the 152 kilowatt 3.8 litre Buick L36 ECOTEC V6 engine & the 4L60E transmission,it is fitted with a 3.08:1 final drive gear ratio, it's a 2000 Model Holden VX Commodore. Now,I have driven a 157 kilowatt 1997 model Ford EL Falcon which is fitted with the 4 litre SOHC inline six cylinder Thriftpower engine which runs the 3.23:1 final drive gear ratio & Is Fitted with the Ford/Borg Warner M93LE 4 speed automatic transmission,it felt much more responsive than the VX Commodore & it was smoother,the Buick V6 engine feels like an old mule in comparison to the Ford six & this is coming from a Holden person such as myself because the Buick V6 engine isn't my favourite GM engine. The EL Falcon had its transmission calibrated differently & It ran a lower diff ratio to make it feel quicker than the VX Commodore but in reality there was little difference with their power outputs. The equivalent Model to my dads Commodore is the 2000 Model Ford AU Falcon & I don't know what Ford did to that car because it had sloppy suspension & it still had the crappy sort of brakes that Ford fitted onto the EF-EL Falcon where the rotors & pads needed replacing by 70,000 kilometres, they had 287 Millimetre diameter rotors up front & they were fitted with single spot brake calipers. The Holden Commodore received a massive upgrade in 1997 with the release of the VT Commodore which was Fitted with 300mm vented brake rotors up front & they were also fitted with twin spot brake calipers as well, they were a huge upgrade from the single spot brakes which were fitted into the previous Commodores. The 1988 model EA onwards Falcons had problems with the TFI (thick film ignition) module failing on the distributor due to heat & fitting a TFI module relocation kit would be a good idea in those Falcons,the ignition coil can fail in them due to heat & ECU failure was pretty common in them,I've experienced a problem where the terminals for the Hall effect sensor fail inside of the distributor & cause a hard or a no start condition. The cylinder heads had trouble with cracking in the 3.9/4 litre Ford sixes,the cylinder head gaskets tended to blow in them as well but the bottom ends just went forever. Ford had trouble with ignition coil failure in the 1993–1996 model Ford EF Falcon because they went to a waste spark ignition coil setup in that model which tended to overheat & fail, there were many EF Falcon taxis had them replaced under warranty, Ford reverted back to the EA-ED Falcon single coil & distributor setup in the EL Falcon only to fit the EF Falcons waste spark ignition Coils back into the AU Falcon in 1998 — what was Ford thinking ? They reintroduced the same problem back into the AU Falcon until a revised ignition coil was fitted later on. The 3.8 litre Buick LN3 V6 engine had problems with rear main oil seal & Welch plug leakage as well as crank angle sensor failure but that was all fixed up by the time Holden built the homologated 3.8 litre Buick L36 V6 engine which was called the 3.8 litre Holden ECOTEC V6 engine because Holden designed their own intake manifold & oil pan so it could be simply bolted into the 1994 model series 1 model Holden VS Commodore to the 2004 Model Holden VY series 2 Commodore. While it was an old mule of an engine the all iron pushrod OHV 3.8 litre Buick V6 engines were more reliable than the SOHC Ford sixes. Overall,the Holden Commodore is a more reliable car & the AU Falcons tend to be rust prone unlike the VT onwards Commodore, they're a more solid car than the AU Falcon which seems to be very “tinny”. The first Holden Commodore that I drove was a 1986–1988 model Holden VL Commodore which was fitted with the 114 kilowatt 3 litre Nissan RB30E 6 cylinder engine,it was arguably the best Holden ever built,I couldn't afford the 150 kilowatt turbocharged model & the old 122 kilowatt 5 litre Holden V8 VL Commodore wasn't much more powerful than the 6 cylinder Model & it drank twice as much fuel so I didn't bother with the V8 model from that era. Ford had the 87 kilowatt 4.1 litre crossflow alloy headed 6 cylinder carburetored model or 121 kilowatt EFI version of the 4.1 litre 6 cylinder XF Falcon. The VL Commodore had problems with the cylinder heads cracking in the Nissan RB30E engine but I never had that problem because I made sure that the cooling system was bled properly & maintained,the inherent bonnet slope where the radiator sits lower than the cylinder head caused the problem,the optical cam trigger was also known to fail due to dirt & oil Ingress Once the bearing failed inside of the distributor but I also never had that problem. The only problem I had Is the Jatco E4N71B automatic transmission wasn't the strongest unit which failed on me & the fuel return line can break off inside of the fuel tank which can lead to fuel pump failure once the fuel tank gets down to 1/4 of a tank due to aeration of the fuel & Cavitation. I now drive a 2002 model Holden VY SS Commodore which is fitted with the 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engine which is in tuned form,I've had to replace the hydraulic lifters due to past neglect & not by me,it has done 369,092 kilometres & it's still going good, understandably I have replaced a lot of things in the car, it's better than the 3.8 litre Buick L36 V6 powered car & it's the best car that I've had. Ford have Fitted the 5.4 litre Coyote V8 engine to the same year model (BA) Falcon but mine performs about as good as the 290 Boss Ford V8 engine which is a 32 valve quad cam V8 engine whereas the 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engine is while also an all alloy V8 model it is a 16 valve OHV pushrod V8 engine which has had an exhaust system upgrade & a dyno tune done to it so it's power output is a tad over 300 kilowatts. In my opinion, sometimes you can flip.a coin but for reliabilitys sake the Holden Commodore is the better car all depending upon which one you buy,I would avoid the VK Commodore which had the Black 3.3 litre Holden.six bolted into it, they messed up with the engine blocks metallurgy because they were soft & wore out quicker, don't buy a VC-VH 1.9 litre 4 cylinder Holden Commodore because they're gutless & chew as much fuel as the 6 cylinder models People have bolted the older Holden sixes into them but, the old red Holden 6 has been bolted into the VK Commodores once the 12 Port black cylinder head has been fitted. If Holden built cars in Australia again then I would buy one of them that I like !
What did you find out about auto repair or auto mechanics that you later regretted finding out in the first place?
I don't regret anything because when I was doing work experience as a mechanic when I was 15 years old & still in high school no one could really tell me why they didn't want me to do the trade apart from the low wages,bad working conditions & the fact that you're expected to buy very good tools on a low rate as an apprentice ($150 AUD per week back in 1993 for a 2nd or a 3rd year apprentice),a mechanics rate was only $417 AUD per week back then. Many shops are rookies like I have had to diagnose my great uncles adopted daughters 1997–1998 Ford EL Falcon which an auto electrician/mechanical workshop diagnosed as having dirty fuel in & after they have charged her $280 AUD to replace the fuel pump relay in,they only spent 1/2 an hour working on it. In Australia the Ford EEC-V ECUs were known for failing right from the EA Falcons in 1988 or so,a lot of people who have owned a Ford Falcon said that the ECU is stuffed in it,it would stall on her & it was hard to start in the mornings. I had it idling for about 5–10 minutes from cold & the engine would stall on me,I would hear the ECU & the fuel pump relays cycle on & off so I thought uh oh,it might be a faulty ECU. I did replace the EFI relay because I would tap on it & the engine would stall,I spent $12 AUD on a new relay & connectors which didn't fix the problem but the relay was faulty anyway so I replaced it,I have checked the fusible links,etc for hot joints & the battery terminals were loose so I cleaned & tightened them but the problem was still there, note the car has a new battery fitted. I ordered another ECU from a 1996 model EF Falcon (same ECU) for $55 AUD so let's see if $67 AUD fixes that car up !
What would make your car break down?
If it's a Ford, they're prone to PCM failure & in the older Fords the TFi modules are prone to failure which can leave you stranded with a car which won't start,in the 1994–1996 EF Falcons in Australia they tried fitting waste spark ignition coils underneath the distributor on their 4 litre SOHC in line sixes which were failure prone & many Falcon taxis had the ignition coil pack replaced under warranty,I think that they were mounted in a spot underneath the inlet manifold which had poor ventilation which means that they got too hot then failed. Between 1996–1998 they went back to the previous TFI ignition module, distributor & single ignition coil setup in the EL Falcon & on the same engine. For whatever reason on the INTECH 4 litre SOHC in line six which has variable camshaft timing in the series 1 AU Falcon (1998–2000) they fitted the same waste spark ignition coils again which is in Fords Wisdom although they revised it in the 2000–2002 Ford AU series 2 Falcon then I hear of the Motorcraft coil on plug ignition coils failing on the 2000 onwards BA-BF Falcons on their then new DOHC 4 litre in line six,on the turbocharged models (they called it the “Barra” engine in Australia) people run Chevrolet LS2 ignition coils in their place & when retrofitting the engine into an older car they wouldn't use the Ford PCM,I've heard of them failing as well,the Motorcraft ignition coils would fail at about 100,000 kilometres,my brothers mate had 4 out of 6 fail on him in his BF Falcon at 80,000 kilometres so they replaced all of them as well as the spark plugs. I know Holden had trouble with the 3.8 litre Buick LN3 V6 engine not starting when hot due to the Hall effect crank angle sensor failing due to undue strain on the connector & wiring loom but that problem was fixed up by about 1994 when Holden fitted the L36 version of the engine. They had trouble with Nissans opteoelectric Camshaft trigger Sensors (CAS) failing in Holdens VL Commodore from 1986–1988 which was fitted onto the Nissan RB30E engine, when the bearing & seal inside of the distributor would fail,oil & dirt would coat & even destroy the optical sensor with oil although I never had that problem with mine. I've had fuel pump failure be due to Cavitation cause that car to break down because the rubber hose to the swirl pot inside of the fuel tank would break therefore at or below 1/4 of a tank of fuel the external fuel pump would suck in air & aerate the fuel therefore cavitating & destroying the fuel pump, if the lift pump failed inside of the fuel tank the same thing would happen !
Why do you love or hate the F-16?
I’m not going to say that i hate it, but man… The F-16 is probably the most boring and “work horse” fighter jet in the world. If in cars terms the F-22 is a Lamborghini and let’s say the EF Typhoon is BMW M5, the F-16…is a Ford Transit van… Now, don’t get me wrong. Thousands of Falcons (or Vipers, as you prefer) have been sold, it’s an excellent and combat proven multi purpose platform, especially good at providing striking force at almost drone-level low price. It’s exceptionally dependable, reliable, flexible and able to give and take pouches without complaining too much. The number of upgrades it has received it’s near unbelievable and it will keep being a key part of many air forces for decades. I actually ,kind of liked ,the first batch of F-16s (i’m not Pierre Sprey i swear!)…clean, sleek, just screams agility and speed from its looks… It reminds me of some other light agile fighters, like The MIG-28…oh yeah sorry, Northrop F-5 And my compatriot Fiat/Aeritalia G-91Y, best NATO light attack fighter-bomber Problem with the F-16 is…they started asking too much from it. And it keep on saying yes and yes to all those requests. And it became something…ugly and bulky… You see? Just too much stuff on…it has lost all its grace…it’s kind of like one of those 90s Japanese cars which had 400 million buttons on the dashboard, of which the great majority looked like they were put there at the last second in total random order. Is not just about all the weapons…the fuel tanks, the sensors, the pods, the add ons on the fuselage…it just looks awful, like a someone that is pretending to be someone else… And again, it’s a boring plane…,nothing really super special about it, nothing particularly wrong either,…just a fair workhorse Now of course, maximal respect for all the guys who everyday fly the shit out of this machines and know how to nail the plane down the absolute edge. Also, i get that if you’re trapped on the ground and you’re begging for an airstrike, you don’t give a damn which plane blows the bad guys up and saves your ass or if that plane it’s good looking or exciting… But since we are discussing in “Quora kind of” terms… I don’t hate the F-16…but i have no particular feelings towards it either. As said, it’s mainly a lack of excitement about the plane and its nowadays horrible looks in my opinion (,which might for other people be a plus - some other might call badass a plane with weapons and other amenities strapped on every inch of the fuselage), What makes me kind of sad is knowing how many other great designs could have enjoyed success and sales if it wasn’t for the monopoly of the F-16…
Why does the 1992 Ford Mustang look like a Ford Falcon?
Which Ford Falcon? In the US, the Ford Falcon name wasn’t used after 1970. In Australia, the Ford Falcon is a name used from the 60s through to the present day, but covers a huge range of different models. The contemporary to the 93 Mustang was the EA/EB/EF/EL Falcon: For comparison, this is the 93 Mustang: I suppose there are some superficial similarities, and they are both made by Ford, so there would have been some in-house harmonisation of designs to make sure the Ford ‘design language’ of the day applied everywhere. This sort of look was popular at the time, originated with the design of the European Sierra of 1980, but updated. But they are completely different cars - the 3rd gen Mustang was built on Ford’s common ‘Fox’ platform, but the Australian car was a completely different design wholly designed in Australia. In 94, Ford as a whole moved to a new design language called ‘New Edge’, which informed the design of all of its mid-90s models, including the 94 Mustang and the 98 Australian Falcon AU. To me these cars look even more different even though they share the ‘New Edge’ design language.
What was your favourite Australian made car you ever owned or drove?
My EF Ford Falcon Futu. More commonly known as the Futura, however someone ripped me off the R and A from my car, so my baby was unique, my unique POS that was only worth and R and A to knock off to some guy.
Is a 20 year old car worth it?
Yes. In Australia where I live there a lot of new cars out there on the roads dual cabs SUVs and the occasional sedan. But there are heaps more people still driving like cars from 1990s. I used to daily drive a 1992 Toyota in 2019 mind you it was reliable and everyone wouldnt wanna look at you in it so it fit in the 21st century. Like any normal modern car of the day. 20 yr old cars are nothing. They are cheap as chips to buy second hand. Parts are easy to get. They fit in with modern society so you look normal on the road. Unlike a 70s car or 80s car. They are good for daily driving to run all of your errands. A lot of people drive 20 yr old cars. You cant even tell they are old there's too many out their on the road. So it won't get stolen easily unlike a 40yr old classic or 30yr old classic. My mom has a daily sedan she uses to drive everywhere it's only 2 yrs old and she has a 4x4 pickup because they are handy if you need to go to the Dump or pickup furniture and other stuff. I've been using that as a daily driver since I can't buy me own car yet. It is a 21 yr old car and it's ugly as and very boring to drive but it is reliable as its Mazda. 20 year old cars are not old and very reliable still. Late 90s and early 2000s cars are everywhere 50% or more of people on the road those days still drive 20+ yr old cars. 70s people probably still drive 1940s/50s cars 80s people probably still drove 50s and 60s cars 90s people drove 70s cars. 2000s late 70s 80s and 90s cars were normal. Now in 2020 like 1000s of people still drive cars that were made from 1990 - 2000 Anyone who drives older cars either are car lovers or have a classic car they drive only on weekends. Most normal people who aren't car lovers just need to drive to work so they can survive just pick a car for reliable and cheap money if they are teenagers or new car if they are an adult. In Australia. 1000s of people still drive EF EL AU Ford Falcons which are 20 + yrs old. Or Old Toyota landcruisers/hiluxs Holden VR Holden VT they're 20+ So yes they really worth it. Every decade is gonna have millions of people driving cars 20yrs old. Because most teens and young adults can't afford new cars or the older ones are still modern but better.
Where can I find out which car parts from different makes and models are interchangeable?
I found out on YouTube because I'm fixing up my great uncles adopted daughters 1996–1998 model EL Ford Falcon which I had to replace the ECU in but it also has a faulty fuel pressure regulator,my point is I can't find a new 2.7 bar (275 kPa) fuel pressure regulator which is Bosch part number 0 280 160 543 online & none of the auto parts stores stock them anymore it seems, they cost about $240 AUD brand new for the genuine Bosch fuel pressure regulator. The next few models (the AU Falcon which runs basically the same SOHC 4 litre in line six cylinder engine &: the BA-BF Falcons which run the DOHC version of that engine) runs a different 2.7 bar (part number 0 280 160 628,) ,fuel pressure regulator. The fuel rails from the later model Falcons (the FG Falcon fuel rail won't fit but) the AU,BA & BF Falcon fuel pressure regulators bolt straight on & the quick connectors for the fuel feed & return lines will click straight onto the existing fuel lines. I will have to swap the fuel injectors over because I'm going to use the BA Falcon fuel rail,the DOHC 4 litre engine is the 182 kilowatt version & the SOHC engine is the 157 kilowatt version which is less powerful meaning that it is fitted with 19–20 lb/hr fuel injectors opposed to the DOHC engine which is fitted with 26 lb,/ hr fuel injectors which are rated at that when they run at 2.7 bar of fuel pressure,it will run the SOHC engine too rich. I wish that I could get my hands on the AU Falcon fuel rail because they run the EV6 20 lb/hr fuel injectors which have the 4 holes in the disc for the fuel injector nozzle rather than the EV1 single pintle fuel injector which is prone to wearing out from my experience which the EL Falcon is fitted with. So I can give her back a car that they can fit the AU/BA-BF 2.7 bar fuel pressure regulator if it ever fails. Yes, someone was playing around with forced induction on both the EF-EL to AU & BA Ford 4 litre 6 cylinder engines on YouTube here in Australia so he needed to fit a higher pressure rated fuel pressure regulator so he fitted the BA Falcon fuel rail onto the inlet manifold since many fuel pressure regulators will just fit into its place !
