    Wheel bearing going out?

    kind of hard to diagnose noise over the internet. The bearing could be making noise after it gets hot (expands) If it's going bad, you could jack it up and check the in and out motion on that wheel . HTH

    Throttle Position Sensor Question

    Check this http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/fcar/99pedals.htm I bought the aluminum spacer from Modular Depot, IIRC, but I lost the link.

    Throttle Position Sensor Question

    I would recommend doing the throttle cable mod - a small piece of hollow aluminum on the throttle cable end - sometimes the carpet interferes with full throttle movement.

    Friends car, disapointed track day

    I dunno - I go to the track a lot , and it seems those numbers are fairly typical for the '98 s. The PI 99's up are a mite faster , but I look at things from the total package ( handling, creature comforts, gas mileage. So he (you) have nothing to be ashamed of... Have fun.

    oil filter relo

    Supposedly, the 4.6 engines have a patented oil cooling system built-in. Don't have or haven't seen any details on this, yet. I'd be interested in a relo kit, but the ones I saw in Jeg's (your link) and Summit all specify the Fram filters. I wonder if they use NPT fittings or not ?

    Throw out bearing location

    The access cover is just to the rear of the bellhousing/block juncture, slightly toward the driver's side. It is held on by one 10mm screw. You should be looking right up at the TOB after you remove the cover. I used lithium and/or silicon sray. Worked for me, but not for others. But I really...

    electrical probs... driver window only???

    Usually, water gets into the switch when the widow is down even a hair - they are cheap and easy to replace (well they are cheap if your dealer doesn't need new sails for his yacht) I have had the driver's side and pass side go bad on me already.

    just picked up some seafoam, quick question.

    Good thinking ! All that "mung" cleared out by the seafoam has to go somewhere. Ususally, the oil pump and/or passages. The carbon won't burn. So, where does it go ? Not in the smoke, for sure.

    Seafoam is teh *****!

    No offense - but, are you a Micro$oft system administrator ? Just curious...

    Seafoam is teh *****!

    I have heard a lot of good things about this product , and nothing bad so far. I guess I question where the carbon and gunk goes ? You stated you saw a lot of white smoke. Did a lot of greasy gunk come out of the tailpipe ? Or, is the stuff now mixed up in the crankcase oil ?

    99 GT Question

    AT 105K , I wouldn't be worried about the engine internals as much as I would about the service wear items such as clutch, water pump, alternator, etc. Plus, the electrics (windows , switches and door locks, etc.). And, IAC sensor/valve, plugs, coolant, hoses and belt, blah,blah. These things...
