    I Need Some Help?!?

    If the mounts were that worn out I'd imagine he would notice some other things like noise under heavy acceleration and shudder. Did you just buy the car or have you had it for a while and just noticed this?

    1999-04 Mustang V8 4l Misfiring, Replace Heads Or Not?

    Really, the Windsor heads are the most notorious for this. I have several friends over the years that have had the same problem with theirs, two of them bought their cars with the problem and the PO was kind enough not to tell them they had been heilicoiled. I have never seen a Romeo have this...

    Convertible Or Hard Top

    I have owned 2 'verts and have loved them. The way the weather has been here in jax Florida I don't think I have even put the top up since the last cold spell we had Thanksgiving. The only thing about them that's a hassle is when it comes time to get the tops replaced.

    Please Help!!

    Take some pictures of your tranny from under the car and then go to where the tranny is being sold and see if things look the same. Should be, but 96 was the first year for the Muatang using the 4.6 and the 4r70w and I have no clue what the first year of the T-bird was so there may be something...

    Stock 01 Knocking Noise At 3k Rpm

    What intake did you use? Brand? Hope that it wasn't the Dorman. But unless Pep Boys started selling better parts I do beleive that's what you got. As far as the knocking is concerned, usually at hot idle a bearing will be slightly noticeable and increase with RPM but can't be ruled out. Could...

    LOL.... Phasers on a 2v.. Anyway, if you do get curious and decided to pull the valve covers you can see pretty well down into the timing chain cover using a flashlight, just enough to make sure there is no offending chain guides or tensioners. The cars mileage would suggest that they...

    They still offer unlimited but it's via the TAG which only works if the car is still registerd. I think they give you lie 4 free vin checks with that deal if I remember right from when I got it last march when I was looking for another Mustang.

I looked at the Dorman at my local parts house and even though its for the 99 04 GT's the ports look more like NPI and are visually smaller in size when compared to the PI intake. As is the TB port...

    03gt Running Bad

    Actually, a flashing CEL is a dead give away that there is a miss. If you swapped the COPS and still no change on that cyl then check the boot and then the plug it self and make sure no coolant or water got down into the plug well.
