    Gas Hog After Intake Manifold Replacement

    You are dumping a lot of fuel. Your local auto parts store should be able to check the engine codes for free. How did you clean the injectors? Double check all your hose and electrical connections.

    5 Or 6 Quarts Of Oil???

    Put in 5 quarts, run the car for about 30 seconds, turn it off. Wait for a little bit and check the level. Add as necessary.

    Engine Coolant

    Many people have had success with just burping the system. When the vehicle is cold, take off the radiator cap and start squeezing the upper and lower radiator hoses. If there is any air trapped you will see bubbles. Squeeze until there are no more bubbles.

    Suspension Wheel Shake....help!

    How many miles are on the car now? I would get the car on a lift or some jack stands and take a look. You can physically see whether the control arm is bent or if the bushings are cracked or dry rot. While it's up in the air do what I suggested to Red Pony and shake the wheel left and right as...

    The 2001 may have a T45 or a TR3650 transmission. The T45 uses a 10.5" clutch. The TR3650 uses an 11" clutch.

    Handling? Lowering?

    Lowering kits pretty much take the guess work out of lowering the car. Most kits are packaged with parts that compliment each other. Eibach has a wide variety of kits that can also include front and rear sway bars. With coilovers, depending on what brand you go with, provides a lot more...

    Need An Intake Manifold

    I think what they are trying to explain is that a new PI intake manifold with new gaskets is more cost effective. If you are planning to upgrade then there is a lot more to the intake manifolds from Edelbrock or Trickflow then there is more than just the manifold.

    It sounds as if you have talked yourself into getting the Mustang! I think you would be surprised if you took a test drive of the Mustang Ecoboost. They are becoming very popular. Those wheels will fit the 2015 V6. Our shop car has the performance package wheels from the factory and it looks...

    01 Mustang Gt Rebuild, Is It Worth It?

    The truth is you will probably not going to get what you put into it. Upgrades don't usually add value to the car. Sometimes it even lowers it. Some people see that the car has been modified and think that it has been abused/hot rodded. Unless the car has sentimental value, I would just use the...

    Motor Swap

    It will fit but there will be other modifications and things that you will have to purchase such as a wiring harness/PCM, driveshaft, engine mounts, headers and possibly k-member/front suspension.

    2004 Mustang P0175

    The rattling sound could be the catalytic converters coming apart. It does sound like a fair price if you are getting two new catalytic converters plus install. Another thing to think about is maybe purchasing a new mid-pipe. It will come with new catalytic converters plus you will gain a small...

    Drivetrain Is My Clutch Fork Supposed To Do That?

    With no lubrication it will wear out faster and it could possibly get worse thus leading to driveability issues. I would take care of it ASAP.
