    Bogging/hesitation At Highway Cruising Speeds

    Ahhh. Fair enough. It looks like I'm gonna go out and get some carb cleaner then and see if I can track this down. This only happens when the car is warm. I mean, not operating temp, but driving around for almost an hour warm. The idle get's a little "hunty" too. It will idle ~750rpm, then...

    Bogging/hesitation At Highway Cruising Speeds

    Nice. I hate tracking them down lol, but it makes sense. My AIR injection system is throwing a code too, so I wonder if the leak could be there. Where was your leak? How did you troubleshoot it? I doubt mine is in the same place, but hey, it's worth looking.

    Bogging/hesitation At Highway Cruising Speeds

    Recently I have noticed while after driving the car for a good period of time on the highway, I've felt that I've been getting a "pulsing" out of my car while steady-state cruising at highway speeds. It seems to happen while around 1500rpms-2000ish rpm with steady, or very light throttle inputs...

    Air Injection System Issues

    First of all, the car does not have a CEL on or anything, and it overall is running well. It does ping when it gets up to operating temp however, and it also seems to idle a little higher when warm too. (around 700 as indicated on the tach when cold, 900 or so when warm). I've always noticed...

    Real Bad Hesitation

    Mom's 02 had a similar problem. - intermittently it would "bog" and hesitate with moderate to heavy throttle. - light throttle, it would not do it - floor it and it would hesitate, spit, and even pop out of the tailpipe. - idled totally normal - no engine light. - eventually it got worse and...

    Drivetrain "clunk" When Letting Out Clutch

    For the last year or so, I've been getting a clunk when I let out the clutch on my car. Well, sometimes. To break it down, here's what it does. - Clunks when I'm letting the clutch out - It has ONLY done it when I'm first leaving somewhere after the car has been parked a bit. - When it...

    320 miles on a full tank

    Well, think of it this way. You needed gas to get to the station, so it couldn't be totally empty. My last fill up I got 16.33 gallons in there.

    Repainting Badly Faded Stock Sideskirts 95 Gt

    Take them off to have them painted. You are gonna break a few clips so get some ready so you can install them later. Please, don't do any prep work on the skirts if you have never done body work first. I can't tell how many times someone with no experience has tried to make a paint job cheaper...

    Engine Pic - Powdercoating done.

    powdercoating won't act as enough of an insulator to hurt anything. Average coating thickness will be in the area of 2-3 mils. 3 mils is .003 inches. Our main bearings probably have more clearance than that :D

    Install front spoiler.... better MPGs?

    Weather has been pretty consistent out here lately. We are hitting a "gloom" time of the year. Higher than normal humidity (around 45-55% RH for us) and the mid 70s for temps. Overcast skies for the better part of the day too. My commute is the same through the week. I really only drive the...

    Install front spoiler.... better MPGs?

    Ok, before you think I'm some kind of nut.... well, I keep pretty accurate fuel economy records.I use Fuelly primarily, but even prior I used to check my MPGs EVERY SINGLE TANK to track it. Here is the Mustang Fuelly page for example...

    Suspension Add Me To The Broken Rear Sway Bar Club...

    I believe even some of the Fox bars will bolt up even though they look different so don't rule those out. I think most of those are only 21mm in diameter. However, yes, any 94-04 bar will fit V6 or V8. The main difference is that our GT rear sway bars may be a different diameter than other...

    03/04 Mach460 head unit

    I've got a stereo 6 disc cd changer from a 2003 that I'd like to sell. I bought it a long time ago to replace the one in my Mom's 2002, but it turns out that 2003-2004 had different plugs on the back of the unit. Lucky me. Sooooo, I finally got a 2002 stereo today to replace her bad one. Which...

    Suspension Add Me To The Broken Rear Sway Bar Club...

    here's another pic from online. It bolts from the inside of the control arm and the bolts come through the outer side of the control arm, and thread into these U-nuts that are located on the sway bar itself. There should be two holes in the control arm for the bolts to pass through.
