    Power Window Issues 1991 Mustang Gt

    I had a similar issue with my 1988 power mirrors where the driver mirror would only go up / down but not left / right. I replace the switch with no luck. I ended up figuring out that a power wire must have been broken going through the door to body bellows. Anyway, I made a jumper wire going...

    Donut Spare Fitment Question

    The mini spare will only fit the rear end and not clear the front Brembo brakes. I personally would care a mini spare so that I could avoid a tow truck disaster in towing to a tire store. If a front tire goes down, put the mini spare on the back and then place a rear tire on the front to get...

    Intermittent Issues With 85 Gt

    Check your EGR valve for carbon build up. Clean it / replace if bad. I have an 1988 GT that had a stumble and after a full tune up did not fix the problem, I found my 60K EGR valve was caked with carbon. Problem solved with a good cleaning with carb cleaner.

    Engine Throttle Slack, not feeling right...

    Try the famous E-throttle recalibration trick. Turn the key to on but do not start the engine. Slowly press the gas pedal all the way to the floor and slowly release it. Turn the key to the off position and restart the engine. This trick worked on my MKZ Lincoln which had bad throttle tip in...

    2011 Mustang Issues

    :shrug:Okay, I really like the new 2011 Mustang GT but have come up with two issues that have me puzzled. Road & Track just did a great article on the GT and said that Ford has now included the dreaded 1-4 Skip Shift device in the new 6 speed. Yikes! Can this be defeated? Any new owners out...

    My car smells inside

    Inside odor issue I had the same odor problem in my 2006 GT with leather. Wife will not ride in the car. I have tried the Odor eliminator from Groits Garage which has killed the fungus / smell and replaced it with a slightly chlorine odor. You open up this container and leave it in the car...

    2006 Mustang GT cabin air filter?

    I have changed my 2006 GT cabin filter twice! It is in the cowl behind the battery. Just park the wipers at the 12 o'clock position to aid cowl removal. 20 minute job.

    Motorcraft Spark Plugs GONE

    The plug gap is listed in the owner's manual as between .040-.050. I really debated the anti-seize issue on the Champions and decided to coat the actual threads to ease in and future removal. FORD says that the plugs will loosen up with anti-seize on the threads, I say given the friction going...

    Motorcraft Spark Plugs GONE

    Boy I feel so very lucky after hearing this continuous stream of misery! How did you talk the FORD dealer into installing your Champion plugs after they broke the remaining Motorcraft plugs? They usually start with the"...these plug are good for 100K, why change now, followed by a discussion...

    2010 GT Tail Lights on an 2009 GT? Can it be done?

    CDC All the way I have had a solid year with the CDC sequentials and they are terrific. Easy to install and I like the added safety of the six lamps coming on with the brakes instead of the factory four. This feature really alerts driver behind me that I am stopping. The sequencing works four...

    Motorcraft Spark Plugs GONE

    Well they are gone. After a three month research project, I was able to change out the dreaded 2 piece spark plugs and finally relax. It all started with the panic complaints on this and other mustang web site which described the horrible breaking of these units which Ford had installed in all...

    Light my interior

    Okay, I have a 2006 GT with the black and red interior. It is stunning except at night when you open the door and two map lights give it all the light that they can. The bean counter pulled out all of the nice under dash lights, door lights, and glove box lighting which all past Ford cars...
