    newbie With some ?

    I hate to say it but my misfire was a valve issue. They replaced my right side cylinder head due to worn valve guides which caused a bent valve on the exhaust side making a pop sound through the exhasust. I hope that is not the case for you. Best of luck to you with your dealer, I told mine...

    I bought my 02 GT one month ago from a local Ford dealer and three weeks into it, it ate a valve due to a bad-worn valve guide at 37500 miles. So I took the car in and they told me I had a 100.00 deductable on the powertrain warranty and they would look at it to see if it was covered. They gave...
