    Suspension bottoming out - rear springs bad?

    No visible impact to anything on the underside except for the pinion snubber. And it's more of a muffled 'thud' sound, doesn't sound like metal-metal contact. Understood, and thanks for the detailed response, and thanks to @7991LXnSHO for the info. I see that the Steeda, J&M, & MM HD LCA's...

    Suspension bottoming out - rear springs bad?

    Yup that’s what I was thinking too. I was finally able to replicate the bottoming out by standing on the trunk opening with the lid up and really jumping up and down, and it seemed as though the noise/impact was coming from the center area under the trunk, so I’m pretty sure it’s not the shocks...

    Suspension bottoming out - rear springs bad?

    Ha! Even if there were a body in the trunk it would have to be a rather small body.... As far as I can tell the shocks are working correctly; I installed the brand new STR.T shocks about a week ago, followed the install guide and torqued them while the suspension was under load. If I try to...

    Suspension bottoming out - rear springs bad?

    Hello all, 2002 GT, trying to figure out why my rear suspension seems to be bottoming out when I hit relatively mild bumps at 10-15 mph. By bumps I mean like the lip when the road transitions to a bridge and back to the road, or if there's a road repair that isn't perfectly level with the...

    Won't Start After Being Stored

    Update: So the issue was the fuel pump. However, there was still some strange activity I'd like to share for anyone else seeing this problem. Before replacing the fuel pump, I serviced the Schrader valve with no change. Just for diagnostic purposes, I attempted to start the car with the valve...

    Won't Start After Being Stored

    Understood. So next steps are going to be: -Service Schrader valve and connect fuel pressure gauge to confirm fuel rail pressure -Pending outcome of Schrader valve service, confirm fuel pump is operational & test FRP sensor -Check all vacuum hoses & try disconnecting the MAF -Confirm spark...

    Won't Start After Being Stored

    wmburns, thanks for the reply. I agree, but I find it odd that would run fine (if i got it started) even though there was no fuel expelled when pressing the Schrader valve. I do hear a hum/buzz for 3-4 seconds when I turn the key on, I'm assuming that is the fuel pump. The trunk mounted IFS...

    Won't Start After Being Stored

    Hello, I'll start off by confirming that I have searched the threads and followed the guidance in the other posts about this problem to no avail, so here I am. 2002 GT 106,000 miles, no problems before storing and replaced plugs about 4,000 miles ago, but I did neglect to put fuel stabilizer in...

    Sputtering Below 2k Rpm

    Spark plug change fixed the problem. She runs like a dream again. I did not know that I needed to change the plugs so often, and the service advisor at the dealer said they should be good for 100k and I was wasting my money having them changed (I have a helicoil in 2 plugs and didn't want to...

    Sputtering Below 2k Rpm

    Ok, that was my initial thought. Thanks guys, I'll report back if the problem continues. Any thoughts on if the plugs could also be causing the starting issue? The fact that on a cold start it takes 5 seconds or more of cranking, but on a warm start it fires up normally.

    Sputtering Below 2k Rpm

    madspeed, my plugs have around 50k on them. I checked and cleaned the connection between the coils and plugs, and the signal wiers for both the COPs and fuel injectors. I usually run Lucas fuel injector cleaner every 10k or so on a full tank of gas. Advice from the dealer (without diagnosis)...

    Sputtering Below 2k Rpm

    madspeed, no codes. I ran the car with the live feed on, fuel rail pressure was 42-45, timing went from +40 to +15 or so depending on the RPM, but no codes. No misfire, no pre-detonation, nothing. Could it be my TPS? The car miscalculating the proper air/fuel mixture for how open the...

    Sputtering Below 2k Rpm

    Hello all, been a few years since I've posted here, but I'm running into some problems with my car. 2002 GT, 5 speed, 102k miles. I noticed a few thousand miles ago that I was having some trouble accelerating below 2000 rpm. It seems as if I'm flooding the car if I give too much throttle, but...

    Engine "dies" At 1300rpm

    Haven't figured out a way to get the readings while driving that were requested. However, there was another symptom today: I was driving as usual, car was warmed up, A/C going, and hit 1300RPM in 1st gear, it did it's hiccup thing, then the red THEFT light started flashing. At first it was...

    Engine "dies" At 1300rpm

    Thanks for that, I'll try to get some readings but it happens so fast and so randomly that I wont have time to grab the reader and look at it before everything is back to normal. It never happens when the car is just sitting, only while driving, and it only happened twice last week. I can tell...

    Engine "dies" At 1300rpm

    Hey guys, my car is developing an issue that is very annoying. My car sat for about 6 months while I was deployed, but I think it was started a few times while I was gone. Once I replaced the battery it started right up, I filled her up with a fresh tank of gas(I stored it with Staybil) and...
