    More Transmissions problems with my 2012 GT

    Let me start off by saying I am not a fan of products made in China, and am against any U.S. company outsourcing to them in particular. With that said how can you call China a 3rd world county? They have a space program and have had nuclear technology for a long time. Do you consider Canada &...

    More Transmissions problems with my 2012 GT

    Outsourcing is done by all manufacturers, and has been done for nearly as long as cars have been on the road. Nothing futuristic or modern day about it. I do have to scratch my head about Ford going with a different trans in the new 5.0 Mustangs when the previous trans was trouble free for the...

    More Transmissions problems with my 2012 GT

    For your information the NHTSA has closed their investigation on Mustang transmission concerns. In short they found “there is no indication of loss of motive power or unreasonable safety risk associated with the alleged defect in the subject vehicles.” Here are their findings: The Office...

    BLOWN UP 2011 5.0

    There are exceptions, but generally speaking sales personnel and sales managers know absolutely nothing about warranty policy, and even less about repairing/maintaining cars. It can also be said that most sales managers have absolutely no influence or say as to what goes on in a service...

    BLOWN UP 2011 5.0

    Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I know you don't want to hear this, but you are almost certainly on your own for repairing this without any help from Ford. I suggest reading this TSB that Ford has released: Ford TSB 11-07-07.pdf I'd go after BAMA to pay for the repairs if it were me.

    Caring for a Pony that accumulates low annual miles?

    By far the biggest concern in maintaining a car with super low mileage is ensuring the gas does not go stale. Make sure to put a stabilizer in it like Stabil. Even with stabilizer you will want to make sure the gas in the tank never gets more than 6 months old. Stale gas can cause severe damage...

    I need your help.

    They could've put 800HP in those things and it still wouldn't make them cool or desirable. Those cars look virtually the same as any P.O.S. front wheel drive GM product. Let them GTO guys brag amongst themselves - who cares what they think anyway! They look dumb driving around in a Generic...

    What does this mean ? :0 HELP GUYS

    What's it mean, are you serious? It means take it somewhere if you aren't able to work on it yourself and get it fixed!!! You have a IMRC actuator that is bad or the linkage has come off and/or is binding. There are throttle plates in your intake manifold that are used to improve low rpm...

    shaker 500 help!!!!

    If the dealer in Germany uses IDS (integrated diagnostic software) with a laptop computer and a VCM (vehicle communication module), which is what U.S. dealers use to diagnose vehicle concerns, then they will be able to configure it properly.

    shaker 500 help!!!!

    I'm not certain that the 2008 head unit will work properly in your car. I do know for a fact that when replacing the head unit a Programmable Module Installation procedure must be done. In simpler terms the head unit must be configured to work properly. This may be all that's needed. The part...

    threw a code and need help

    Code P0442 indicates you have a small leak in the evaporative emissions system. You are not going damage anything by driving it, nor are you going to be left stranded somewhere by having this concern. It is not serious unless you are out of warranty, then it might be expensive to fix. It...

    1967-70 Mustang DynoMax VT exhaust system!

    Looks like a cool setup and I'd love to hear them! I can see one major problem though. A lot of potential customers are probably going to want to use original Ford tips on the tailpipes. Can this system be ordered with out the tips shown in the picture above?

    2012 gt 135 miles in shop

    A power balance test will show what specific cylinders have a missfire. It won't tell you the reason for the missfire. Further diag would be needed to determine if a coil or fuel injector was the cause. Please keep us up to date on this debodav. I am curious to hear what resolves your concern.

    2010 stalls when climate control turned on

    Does the car start immediately after it stalls? Does the idle roll up and down at anytime? Do you have any type add of add-on alarm that inhibits the car from starting when active? Does the car have any performance modifications such as an aftermarket computer program?

    05 mustang idle problem pls help!

    Restricted airflow or a vacuum leak would result in different codes being present from the P0506 you have. Your concern is also most likely the throttle body itself. All Ford engines equipped with variable cam timing in any form do not use an EGR valve, so you are correct, your car does not...

    Higher octane gas on Coyote 5.0

    "Coyote" is the codename Ford gave to the new 5.0 liter engine used in 2011 and newer Mustang GT's while the engine was in development.

    Higher octane gas on Coyote 5.0

    Confused - no. Just haven't heard that about the 5.0 before. Interesting, I have not seen that before. I had only seen this page: http://media.ford.com/images/10031/2011_Mustang_GT_Specs.pdf It looks like Ford has tweaked some things on the 2012 vs. the 2011 Mustang GT.

    Higher octane gas on Coyote 5.0

    Just so there is no confusion it should be stated that the octane of the gas by itself does nothing to increase or decrease power. When running lower than recommended octane the engine will be prone to experiencing detonation. When detonation occurs the computer retards the ignition timing...

    Did you read this thread: http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/845443-car-idle-off-after-replacing-battery.html The problem is your throttle body. It is either sludged up and needs cleaned and/or it has excessive wear. Disconnecting the battery clears the computers adaptive strategy for...
