Maintenance planner

Check your owner's manual - intervals vary by vehicle and how you drive (towing = severe service). We don't fill in intervals for you. Tick what you want to track and type the miles and/or months from your manual.

Due dates by miles are estimated from your miles per month. The calendar file is made on your device; nothing is sent to us.

Find parts for my ride

Member Deals

Mock-up

How it would work: members would get partner discount codes on parts and on shop labor. All codes below are placeholders.

Parts discount

Partner retailers would give members a % off or free shipping on the parts in your build plan.

Coming soon: build plans launch after our Cobra proof build.

Shop labor discount

Partner shops in the Find a Mechanic tab would give members a discount on labor hours for booked jobs.

Coming soon: build plans launch after our Cobra proof build.

Dyno day / tune

Affiliate links disclosure (real product): some retailer links could be affiliate links. Looking Out Co. might earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Prices and the retailer you pick are always your choice, and partner status would never change a build or repair recommendation. No partner deals exist yet; the retailer links in this demo are plain links.

Code Lookup

Got a check engine light? Type the code from your code reader. We'll tell you what it means in plain English, what usually causes it, and what to check for free before you buy anything.

Try:

Note: Codes can mean different things on some makes; check your manual.

Older Ford (1986-1995 EEC-IV, like a '93 Mustang 5.0): how to pull codes

These cars have no OBD-II port. You run the factory Key On Engine Off (KOEO) self-test and read 2-digit codes on the check engine light or a code reader. From the 1993 Mustang 5.0L factory service data:

Ignition off. Transmission in neutral (manual) or park (automatic), and block a wheel.
Check the air cleaner and ducting, vacuum hoses, EEC-IV wiring and connectors, coolant level, and transmission fluid. Fix anything you find first.
Turn off all electrical loads: radio, lights, A/C and heater blower.
Start the engine and warm it to normal operating temperature.
Turn the key off and wait ten seconds.
Ground the self-test input (STI): put a jumper wire between pin 2 of the self-test connector and the STI connector.
Turn the key on (engine off) and write down every code.
Turn the key off and remove the jumper. Code 11 means the system passed.

Sources: KOEO self-test preparation and KOEO self-test with the check engine light (Operation CHARM, 1993 Mustang V8-302 5.0L HO).

Sources for these codes

OBD-II meanings and causes: OBD-Codes.com, one page per code (checked Oct 29, 2026). Ford EEC-IV meanings: Operation CHARM, 1993 Mustang 5.0L factory 2-digit code definitions.

Trouble codes & fixes

How to pull codes on a 1993 Fox 5.0 (EEC-IV, 2-digit codes)

Warm the engine fully, then turn it off. A/C and defrost OFF, transmission in neutral, parking brake on.
Find the self-test connector under the hood (driver side, near the shock tower). It has a single-wire STI pigtail next to the larger self-test (STO) connector.
Jumper the STI pigtail to the signal-return terminal (pin 2) of the larger connector with a paper clip or jumper wire.
KOEO: key ON, engine off. Count check-engine light flashes: e.g., 4 flashes, pause, 1 flash = 41. Each code repeats; a single flash then a pause separates current codes from memory codes.
KOER: start the engine with the jumper on. The light flashes 4 times (8-cylinder ID). Tap the brake if equipped and turn the wheel half a turn if prompted. When you see one short flash (dynamic response), briefly snap the throttle wide open once. Then count the codes.
Code 11 means pass. Remove the jumper when done. To clear memory codes, pull the jumper as soon as codes start flashing during KOEO, or disconnect the battery.

Code meanings checked against TroubleCodes.net's EEC-IV list (covers the 1993 Mustang Cobra 5.0). Part costs are rough estimates.

Photo Diagnosis

1. Take these pictures

Photo tips: use daylight or a bright work light. Turn the flash off to avoid glare on metal and wet surfaces. Put a reference object (a coin, a 10mm wrench, or a tape measure) next to small parts. Wipe the area first so cracks and wet spots show. Take one wide shot, then a close-up. Engine off and cool for close-ups, unless it's the idle video.

2. Add photos and symptoms

Example report Hypothetical sample case. Example data, not your car.

✔ Reviewed by tech (mock)

Vehicle: 1993 Mustang 5.0 (stock EEC-IV, mass air). Symptoms: rough idle, hesitation off idle. Codes: 41 and 91 (both banks lean, KOER).

Photo 1: engine bay

Photo 2: vacuum lines

Photo 3: vacuum tee near PCV (callout)

Photo 4: throttle body

Photo 9: code flash count

Ranked likely causes

#	Likely cause	Confidence	Evidence	Next check
1	Vacuum leak: cracked vacuum tee near the PCV	62%	Cracked vacuum tee near PCV visible in photo 3; lean on both banks (41 + 91) points to a shared leak	Spray carb cleaner (short bursts) at the tee with the engine idling and listen for rpm change, or do a smoke test
2	Low fuel pressure (old filter / weak pump)	20%	Both banks lean; no fuel-pressure photo provided	Gauge on the fuel-rail Schrader valve: about 39 psi with the regulator vacuum line off (stock)
3	Upper/lower intake gasket leak	9%	Photo 1 shows an oily film at the plenum seam	Smoke test around the plenum
4	Dirty MAF / leak after the MAF	6%	Photo 4: intake boot looks dry and old	Flex the intake boot and inspect it; clean the MAF with MAF cleaner
5	Both O2 sensors failing	3%	Unlikely for both at once	Check O2 switching only after 1-4 are ruled out

Suggested fix (for cause #1)

Engine cool: replace the cracked tee and any brittle vacuum hose near the PCV.
Check the PCV valve and grommet; replace them if they're cracked or loose.
Clear codes (battery disconnected about 10 min), drive 10+ minutes to relearn, then re-run KOEO and KOER.
If 41/91 return, check fuel pressure (cause #2).

Parts (estimate $10-$40): vacuum tee / hose assortment, PCV valve and grommet. Shop at LMR, AmericanMuscle, or Summit Racing.

Example only. Confidence values are made-up sample numbers to show the report format. Real diagnoses would come from AI image analysis plus a human technician's review, and they aren't a substitute for an in-person inspection.

Build video series

New Meets Old

Every build in the series is AI-planned: the AI picks and prices the parts in three tiers, Budget, Mild, and No Limit. Then we build it by hand, in the garage, with real wrenches, real receipts, and no shortcuts.

The plan. The AI lays out the parts list and prices it at all three tiers.
The build. We turn every bolt ourselves and show what fit, what didn't, and what it really cost.
The verdict. Plan vs. reality: where the AI nailed it and where the garage had other ideas.

Did the AI get it right?Watch the plan, then the real build.
