    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    I think the parts store tests don't check for AC ripple, they just check if the battery is charging.

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    They ECU repair place only charges the full fee if they need to repair the ECU, the test fee is like 50 bux plus shipping 2 ways so about 75 by the time you get it back. They apply the diag cost to the 175 if they do need to repair. 75 dollars was worth it for me to have the piece of mind that...

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    When I thought my ECU was toast I sent it out to ecurepairnow.com. I spoke with them on the phone about it before hand and they were confident they could find the issue if there was one. It took a while to get it shipped there and back because I was cheap with the shipping and sent it ground...

    Eternal Vibration Worries - Aod

    I hate to be the one to tell you this but answering I don't know doesn't help. Try to find out and then post back. If you absolutely can't find out then let us know and we can try to help from there.

    Eternal Vibration Worries - Aod

    Which cross member did you use ? Which mount did you use ? Is it a poly or rubber trans mount ? What drive shaft do you have ?

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    Does the service center have a Ford Master Tech on site ? If not that may be why they are putting in the call. Hope they find something soon.

    Roller cam

    You will likely need to rejet the carb if not buy a bigger one to get all the power out of it you need.

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    It sounds like the fuel mixture is way off and the ECU is changing what the injectors are doing, causing the RPMs to climb to keep the engine alive. Could be a bad injector, coil pack or even the o2 sensors.

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    Ya go me, might want to call their tech support line to find out. I use Binary Editor with a Mongoose cable.

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    See if you can pull the TIDs. I know I said it before but I had a similar issue with my Mach 1 and it turned out to be a faulty coil pack. I wasn't getting a missfire CEL but my coil pack was totally shot. I figured it out way before I got a CEL by reading the TIDs. Might be worth paying a...

    Gauge Cluster Not Working

    I've actually had this problem off and on in my Mustang for about a year and a half. I just had it happen this weekend. Pushing on the glass from the top while hitting the switch did it.

    Extra H-pipe On Exhaust

    Poppy, a second H cross over in exhaust is very uncommon but they have been done on various performance exhausts. It is usually to eliminate drone or undesired exhaust turbulence at a certain speed/rpm.

    Performer 289 Manifold Install Questions

    You can reuse your old intake manifold bolts if you still have them. If not, there are plenty of places that sell bolt kits. If you want to spend a little more money on a nice set of bolts, order a set from ARP. Definately put RTV around the water jackets.

    Roller cam

    One thing you can do is upgrade your ignition system. An MSD box with a duraspark and a good coil will help. Also, since you are making so much more power, a larger radiator might be in order.........

    Extra H-pipe On Exhaust

    Well, here is the deal. First off your mufflers shouldn't rattle. If the muffler is rattling there is something foreign inside, something inside has broke and come loose or it is loose on its hanger. I can't think of any other reason the muffler itself would rattle. You can put a second H pipe...

    Gauge Cluster Not Working

    Try swapping the switches, you can just pull/pry them out.

    02 Gt Lighting Problems

    Sounds like a fuse to me. When you say you checked the fuses and none seem to have blown, that sounds to me like a visual inspection. You need to check them with a multimeter or a test light.

    Prothane Urethane Bushings Front Lca

    http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/boxing-stock-front-control-arms.733968/ My second post has the instructions of how I did it. I basically used a boat load of washers and some thread rod stock with some nuts. If you have a press you can do it MUCH faster that way.

    Prothane Urethane Bushings Front Lca

    I posted on how I did my bushings a long time ago. They were regular. The bushing comes out with the metal sleeve. The new bushing goes in fairly easily. I can try and dig my post up about how I did it if you want.
