    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    Called Service center today... Evap system has no leaks. Both camshft and crank sensor test OK. Fuel filter good. I am beginning to believe that it may very well be the PCM. He told me that they will not pull it for repair by 3rd party due to liability issues. If I pull it myself, do I...

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    Is that a different test from what they do at one of the chain stores like Pep Boys or Auto Zone?? Because I had both the battery and the alternator tested before I took it to Ford. Both passed.

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    It drives normal with the exception of the high speed idle which I believe is causing the "cruise control" effect.

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    Yeah, I returned it to stock tune. The mechanic has tested several items and everything is within factory spec. They have even put in help request to Ford engineering and they are slowly going through things. The electrical system checks out, fuel system checks out and the PCM is not throwing...

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    so which do I have? Ford ECM (95 and older) $150 Ford PCM gas OBDII (96 and newer) $175 Service center still can not figure out what is wrong and are still waiting on input from Ford. They are suggesting that it may...

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    Just heard from the service center. Even with a full diagnostics, a temporary replacements of parts to trouble shoot, and advice from Ford engineering, they still can not figure out why my car is having the high speed RPM hanging issue. They are thinking it may be the PCM itself. They are...

    1.) No 2.) "Flashing" refers to the digital clusters not these mechanical clusters. Enjoy, and let us know how it goes.

    will keep this stuff in mind, and will be posting a final result when / if it ever comes in.

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    Probably not, this Town ain't big enough. They used to have some really good mechanics, that knew their stuff and now it seems like it's all run by high school kids with little or no experience.

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    Service center has had the car for 2 weeks and still don't know what is wrong. They have informed me they have put in a "call request" with a "Ford Engineer" from whatever mystical lands they reside. Apparently my problem is more serious than an oil change or a tire rotation. :rolleyes:

    Some Idle Issues And Strange Noise

    Mine is doing the same exact thing (minus the howling noise). I noticed the symptoms only occur after the engine has past the 2000RPM mark while the vehicle is in motion. I am taking mine into Ford on Wednesday because mine will actually accelerate to a PCM determined speed without the pedal...

    Thoughts On Mustang Fake Hood And Side Scoops

    Fake or not, I wish they just faded to the same color as the rest of the car.

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    While there has been good advice in here, I have not had much time to implement many of them. This is due to the fact that I don't have a garage or covered car port, and it has been raining here the past 4 days (almost 11 inches total). The rivers are flooded and every time I thought I would...

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    Called the other Ford service center today. It's an extra 20 mile drive, but they have set me an appointment for Wed at 8:30. We'll see what they have to say.

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    not sure why the idle stop screw would need to be backed off further, since the TB arm can not physically go past the point it was at when I set it the last time?? I have a Predator tuner and am not sure if I know if it can be used to get the information you suggested. Thanks for the link as...

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    Yes. It truly did. I even had it in a vacant parking lot in first gear and the car just cruised on its own, even after tapping the break. It would stop the behavior only if I came to a complete stop, in neutral, for 3 seconds to the the RPMs drop to idle.

    Please Help! Car Wont Start

    Just on the off chance that an electrical circuit got tripped with all the water. If the '99s have a fuel pump cutoff switch, you should try resetting it. The '03s are located in the trunk on the drivers side, up against the tail light housing. There should be an access hole cut into the...

    2003 Gt Engine Failure

    OK as per the suggestion by wmburns I did the reset when the rain let up. I set the idle with the IAC unplugged to where the engine would just barely idle. At this point there was a hairline gap between the stop screw and the throttle plate arm. So the TP was completely closed. After finishing...
