    2000 GT, Intake cracked today, smoke show going down the road - question.(pics)

    Yea I was also wondering why it would break at this neck location, Maybe the hose was somehow restricted and the force of the motor twisting etc caused it to eventually snap off, but I was able to move the hose around fairly easy so not sure... I called a nearby shop and they said it would...

    2000 GT, Takes longer to start, stalled on me today.

    Turns out the fuel pump is bad, luckily my extended warranty was still active (I thought it had expired already) and they're covering a good chunk of the repair cost including the tow to the shop. They say it will be ready to go tomorrow afternoon. When I get the car back I'm still interested...

    2000 GT, Takes longer to start, stalled on me today.

    Ok turning the key off and on like you said made it fire right up, I tried driving it around the block and it was sputtering / hesitating big time, If I barely push the gas it will move but when I press the pedal not even halfway down it causes the car to try stalling / hesitating. sounds like...

    2000 GT, Takes longer to start, stalled on me today.

    For the last few days my car doesn't turn over as quickly as usual, normally it fires right up (even in the morning) but lately it has to turn over for a few seconds. Also today I was driving and it just died out of nowhere and wouldn't start for a few minutes, it would just turn over and...

    Which Intake is Better??? Help please. . .

    I was going to buy the JLT version but it doesnt have a CARB# so it would most likely be a problem passing smog, at least here in California.

    official 4.6 liter Mustang photo thread

    Will do, I had to send back the led 3rd brake light as it was missing a mounting stud / bolt but the replacement should be here any day. Also Ive had more than a few people ask me where I bought my tail lights from when I'm at gas stations / the store etc. They're definitely nicer than stock IMO.
