    96 Gt Won't Turn Over.

    I tried a search but I'm doing this on an old iPhone on a slow connection. So I don't have enough patience. So hopefully this problem hasn't been solved a thousand times on here. So it's a 96 GT 5-spd. I just drove it 1100 miles to Sheppard AFB for a TDY and the car made it fine. Today I drove...

    Modular Depot. Final Verdict 7 Years Later.

    First off you can read about the majority of my experience here: http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/modular-depot-my-feelings-about-them.660098/#post-6403699 Now, 7 years later I'm paying for their f*ck ups again. I recently went in for Salt Lake County emissions testing. You can...

    Fml

    So...I went to have my emissions inspection done here in SLC and failed. Apparently they have new standards here that require a car to have equipment equivalent to what it had from the factory and the computer MUST monitor all emissions systems. My car failed for the following reasons: 1. I...

    Screeching Noise (96 Gt)

    My 96 GT is making a very loud, high pitch screeching sound only when the clutch is disengaged (clutch pedal pressed in). The clutch does not seem to be slipping even while going downhill. The noise goes away once the clutch is engaged. This happens in every gear and in neutral. I'm thinking...

    A/c "popping"....??

    I've noticed lately that on really hot days when I start my car and turn the A/C on, I hear a large "POP" from under the hood. It happens pretty much every time I turn on the A/C but it always happens just one time and never again until the car has been off and cooled down and then started...

    Just Moved. Looking For A Tuner.

    So I just left the Air Force and joined the Utah Air National Guard so I could finally move out here and be with my fiancee. I like Salt Lake City. There is a ton to do here. However, I haven't been able to find any reputable Mustang tuning shops around here. There is a big race track and a drag...

    Odometer stopped working.

    I meant to post this a while ago. I figured while I'm out of town and the car is in the shop, I can come up with a plan of attack for this. My speedometer works fine, but the odometer just stopped working completely. It worked fine before I deployed, then when I came home from my short...

    96 GT won't start. Need to get to work. Help!

    So I just went out to get ready for work and the car won't start. She NEVER lets me down :(. Here's what I've checked: She turns over fine. Won't start. It's NOT PATS. I tried the spare key and have no theft light. The fuel pump is running. I can here it running when I turn the key just like...

    NEXT MOD POLL!

    It's been a while since I polled you guys (no homo) on what mod I should do next, but last time I did you listened to what you all said (4.10's) and I was very happy with the outcome. Here are the options I'm looking at next: 1. Cobra R hood, Saleen spoiler, new paint (my paint is looking...

    First post in months

    Hey people. I just wanted to poke my head in. I haven't posted in lord knows how long because when I get on here it's usually because I have a question that the search button can answer. The military has been taking a lot of my time, but right now I'm in the sand box and believe it or not I have...

    Pony Down Perfomance. Anyone know about them?

    So I was looking up turbo kits for stangs while I was at work and came across this company. Has anyone ever heard of them? It seems to good to be true but DAMN that's a cheap price for a turbo kit. Stage 1 (96-04) 4.6 2v single turbo kit [M501] - $2,599.99 : Pony Down Performance, Mustang Turbo...

    Copper pipe cap mod. Didn't like it...

    Hey guys I know there is an old thread somewhere on here about fixing the hanging RPM's on these cars, but I just couldn't find it. Anyway, I decided to do the copper pipe cap mod on my IAC valve. I basically drilled the hole small at first and just kept making it bigger little by little...

    SRT Handz: Question for you.

    Dude, since you're awesome at detail work, I need an expert opinion. While I was in AF tech school in TX, my car developed this white crap in front of each head lamp. I don't know if it was caused by the hot sun, if it's oxidation, or what. What in the blue hell is this? And is there any way to...

    Supercharging a PI swapped '96.

    Hey guys. Haven't posted much lately but I've been lurking. I just haven't had any tech questions that the search button couldn't answer. I know this question has been asked, but I couldn't find it by searching. I still don't know exactly what I want to do with my 'Stang situation. I don't...

    '96 GT just hit 100k...

    ....and I didn't even get to see it. I was driving down to my first duty station, Moody AFB, and I was hauling my motorcycle by trailer using my aunt's Trailblazer, and my friend was driving the 'stang. It hit 100k around the time we got to Atlanta, and I missed it... I'm not sure how I feel...

    Stang is burning oil.

    My '96 GT just hit 90k miles. I've noticed that she's started burning about a quart of oil between changes. There is no smoke at all from the engine or tail pipes, and she still runs great. Also, no leaks that I can see. Anyone have any idea why it would be burning oil? Is it time to start...

    Selling the GT...

    Soon I'll be getting a new job and selling my house. I've decided that it's just not worth the amount of money that it would take to get my GT where I want it. I've been struck with 4-valve fever. I would love to buy an 03-04 cobra, but I'd have to finance one, and I don't think that's a wise...

    Damn clearcoat is peeling

    I was washing the GT the other day and notices that the clearcoat is starting to peel off of my back bumper. Is there any way to fix this without having to take it to a shop?

    My new toy! 56k Beware

    So, as I stated in a previous post, I finally graduated college. At the graduation, my grandpa didn't have a gift for me. He said "You'll have to wait until you come to the house in Kentucky for Christmas." So, I went there for a couple of days, and the first night I was there, he called me into...
