    Cover up your fuse box and any exposed electrical componets. You can use plastic bags. I do it with my Mustang.

    How bad is it to "engine brake" with a manual tranny?

    When I down shift I blip the throttle to sync up the gears better. It is fun when you drop it 5th to 4th or 4th to 3rd. I live in a hilly area and there is a big long descending hill I down shift to 4th and let it coast all the way down and it gurgles and pops all the way down. It sounds awesome.

    Ever wish you had a different mustang?

    Yeah I wish i did not buy my 97 GT, I would really like to have a 2004 Mach1 Azure Blue and keep the car forever once I get it. When i bought my 97 the dealer said it was on the lot for 3 months and no one ever looked at it even though it was a front line car. I watched it on craigslist and the...

    Mustang engine backfiring update

    No, but should I pull them back out? and redo them? I am getting plug wires tommorow and when the wires are off I can pull them out and put anti sieze on. The old plugs did not have any antisieze and they were tight but I think the guy who put them in tightened them way to tight.

    What causes a car to backfire underdeceleration

    Thanks for the replies guys. If I keep the Mustang and do not trade it in I was wanting to mod it and build it up. Since it already has mods on it.

    Mustang engine backfiring update

    The spark plug that came out of that cylinder was covered in surface rust. And cylinder #5 plug had cracked porslin too. All the plugs were lean but I showed them to my auto teacher and said it was nothing to worry about if it gets leaner then I would want to richen it out. I would like to...

    What causes a car to backfire underdeceleration

    Just question. My Mustang GT has a 2000 GT motor and under coasting conditions or deceleration it backfires a lot (it will backfire all the way down a hill and that is all I hear). I have a exhaust company called Blue Streak Glass packs. And at idle it is not as smooth of an idle unlike other...

    bogs down @ high rpm

    When you mean sputters like loud poping noise? Could be numerous things. Could have a vacuum leak. Have you checked to see if it running lean or rich? That is what I could think of. something may be wrong with the main comp by when you say it goes away after you take the battery cable off...
