    Grinding Noise 2000 Mustang GT

    Yes you need to contact the BBB. There is clearly something not adding up hear and you will not get anywhere with a dealership. The squeaking you here is most likely from your suspension, your car is seven years old. Since you had the other problem though, you will be more susceptible to...

    Leaking Convertible

    Yes let me look for the info, it's been awhile, and I will post it for you. Mine did not come with instructions. On your top, tell me more about what is going on with the rear window, like, did the window seal with the top give out or or is the material rotted? The tops are sold w/wo rear...

    performance cams for 2V

    Funny you say that:lol: . I know a few Cherokee's that with a few mods outrun GT's all the time. The 4.0 can actually be made to go really fast.

    Fuel Pressure Regulator Leaking Fuel

    There are two probabilities for this. The first, a pressure regulator is governed internally by a rubber diaphragm and in time this weakens, so, have you done a fuel pressure test to see if what the output is? The second, when you remove a regulator it is very important to make certain that it...

    Cracked Intake? (pix)

    I know how loved Autozone is in here but, when I purchased my GT it had not had the upgraded intake on it and for $250 I purchased theirs and haven't had any problems with it. This was in fall of 2004 and mine leaked really bad so I had to replace in less than a month after buying the car...

    System Too Lean

    It is correct that a maf could cause one bank to read lean, but, 9 out of 10 times will read lean for both banks. I would look at the upstream o2 sensor. These are usually the culprit. Read the v6 tech column. I had similar condition except code 171 lean for pass bank. O2 all the way in my...

    Leaking Convertible

    Their not hard to replace at all and I will say from my own experiences that they are quite easy. It is time consuming so if someone was taking on the job themselves I would suggest setting aside a weekend to do it. I'm no pro but I've always worked front to back and never had an issue. I...

    What to do... Keep the 4cyl or mod the 97GT?

    You are right. I also have a friend that tried to build one and he ended up saying screw it and bought a GT. He never had any time slips or anything but he could keep up with the newer GT's (the 99 to 04 style) and outside of total customization, he had no where else to go with it. He stepped...

    Leaking Convertible

    Put the top down and by the rear window look down the side into the body area and see if you see a small metal cable, one on each side. This cable should be attached to a stud inside the the top area on one end and attached to the top on the other. These are weak cables and often snap causing...

    1995 v6 code 171

    Yeah it was an O2. I knew it was but I didn't want to face reality being that I just changed the other side o2 back in January and they are a royal bitch. I fixed it that same day I just forgot to announce it. Thank you anyway though.

    Grinding Noise 2000 Mustang GT

    No surprise on the return phone call. Lets look at the brakes. You recently had them serviced. Did the vehicle make this sound prior to having the brakes changed and who did the service? Then you pick up the car and the brake light is on. What did they do to fix it? Now lets look at the...

    Grinding Noise 2000 Mustang GT

    First, how many miles do you have on this vehicle? Second, are you the original owner of this car ? Has there been gears added to the rear? Some inferior brands of rear gears can cause this sound (if indeed from the axle housing itself) and sometimes a poor installation of the gears can be a...

    Power gains

    In that case, go with a performance clutch to match the gears. As for cams, not very hard to do just time consuming. Regardless of whether you do this yourself or pay someone, plan on the car being tied up for a few days. Even more advisable would be to do the cams when you have the heads...

    v6 mustang timing problems

    It is something else. Does your car stall out after starting? Have your coil checked. The things that govern a misfire on a cylinder are plug, wire, coil, and fuel/timing. Also, how long after replacing the head gasket does "running for awhile" define?

    Power gains

    If you do all of that, you could expect around 35 to 40hp and better take off at the line with the gears. For the money, I would do the gears, exhaust and NOS as a power adder. I've used many CAI's and aside from a cooler sound, I haven't seen any real hp gains from it. Another nice mod to...

    Mustang v6 engine smell when I floor it

    Auto trans? Check the fill level and check to see if the fluid is still red. Smell the dipstick for burning. Check the motor and make sure it has oil in it As for the brake problem, sound like a caliper issue. Does it do it every time you touch the brakes? Can you narrow it down to which...

    2001 V6 Clutch/TOB issues

    Yeah it would seem the clutch or tob is going out on it. Are you pushing the clutch all the way down when you shift? Does the car have any lag to it, like say, starting from a stop in first? Does it slip any? Not to accuse you of anything, but, if your not the original owner, someone has...

    2000 Mustang GT brake lines

    Another tip, shops do these repairs on lifts. If you don't have access to one, bend the line to fit the master cylinder first and install it there when done. Then slowly bend the line where needed until you get it back to the wheel it goes to. Work from front to back and don't worry if your...
