    Just changed spark plugs and now I got a nasty lump

    ganador01: I'm sorry to say it but I think that "lump" is normal. I've had my '98 for three years and have done two tune ups with it with the same results (ie....lump). If you do find something is wrong please let me know, maybe it's wrong with mine too. Good luck.

    Stang lovin Brit

    ukman: Thanks I like the color too, it's what originally attracted me to the car. Your car looks VERY nice. Over here we see it as exotic when we see a right hand drive vehicle, over there you will be seen as exotic, and cool because you will probably have one of the best looking cars...

    ukman: Your pics did not post. This is because there is a minimum post limit that must be met before you can post pics. I think it's like 75 or 100 replies. Once you have met this pre-requisite then you can post your pics. Good luck. I look forward to seeing pics of your new ride.

    v6 stang rollin 20s

    You are incorrect in your assumption that I can't afford a V-8 or that I am a redneck. Not that being a redneck is bad. I chose my 6 because I got in waaaaay too much trouble speeding with my 4 cyl. :D and decided that I should buy a 6 instead of an 8 due to insurance. Unlike you I try...

    v6 stang rollin 20s

    DraggersDreams: You call 98StangRidah a redneck because he states "your girls" ride is not for him with all those pretty little dress up mods. This is Stangnet's V-6 forum. Many if not most people here believe in muscle before the cutesy stuff. No offence to rednecks but, you are the...

    1986 Ford Mustang Starting Problems

    IceMan2003: Did you change your fuel filter? Were you having problems prior to this with acceleration, etc....? If it's cutting out it might be a fuel problem. If not also try changing the plugs. Not enough spark to maintain firing? Sorry I'm not the most proficient mechanic so...

    Cheap but good Shocks/Struts

    I apologize in advance for taking over this thread but it seems pertinent. Please forgive me for sounding naive but are you saying that the FMS C Springs CAN be used with the Mach 1 strut/shock combo? Tru_Blue_104 had stated earlier that these were made for "lightly lowered cars but only...

    Are Ford 3.8's naturally rough sounding????

    GM Dude: I have a '98 and yes my engine idles rough like you say. Shakes too, it's done that for all three years that I have owned it. Based off of my car, I would say you have the normal idles/shakes of a Mustang. Don't be surprised if your cabin interior rattles too, it's thanks to...

    Brake problems?

    Drk Mrk iV: I couldn't venture a guess as to what it might be, but I will recommend that she gets that taken a look at IMMEDIATELY!!! That is definately one part of the car that it is not worth it to let it keep doing what it's doing just to see if it goes away. I personally would...

    Headlight haze

    eaglefire: This is a VERY common problem for Mustangs. Do a SEARCH and you will find all types of ways to correct this. How well it works depends on which method you use and how hazy your lights are. For only minor haze on the outside of the lens use Meguiar's Plastic-X scratch...

    K&N FIPK II problem (service engine light)

    Ponychick: Did your fingers touch the MAS at all? This can sometimes cause your problem. Also check all connections to make sure they are secure. It might just be that something is loose. Whenever something like this happens to me when I do an install, I take the thing apart and do a...

    Theft Light Blinking

    After starting my car up (see sig), my theft light blinks rapidly. Looked around, saw no obvious signs of forced entry. In addition to this I have a security alarm that would have told me had there been an attempt to break in, yet no indicator. Feeling fairly comfortable I shut down the car...

    whats the best??

    I quite prefer my Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3's. I've never had a tire that can hold corners like them. That includes in the rain too! Nothing else feels safer.

    Best Place to Order Rims/Tires

    I agree with atblue2000 on buying from Diversified. I got my Cobra's for $109.00 apiece. You can try them but I think they only sell in bulk now.

    Next Choice

    Hello Everyone: I'd like to know what you guys/gals think. I've got a lightly modded '98 3.8L automatic and was wondering what to do next. My choices are: Transgo Shift Kit or new Shock/strut/springs. Thanks for the help.
