    Random Timing Chain Failure = Disaster!

    If the chain breaks while the engine is running, yes it can. The 4.6L is an interference engine so the chain breaking would allow the pistons to hit the valves which would cause a lot of damage depending on how fast the engine was running. Did they physically show you the damage? I guess if...

    Lowering Springs 2001 Mustang

    Well, I'm no car stereo expert but the stock 460 amps don't play well with component speakers stock replacements are best. I've got serious work to do on my 2000 because I have been lazy and just upgraded the speakers and added an amp for a sub. In my old 96' GT I removed the stock amps added...

    Multiple Mustang Crashes - Mustang Week 2014

    I saw a brand new 5.0 head in a guard rail on the expressway about a week ago. One vehicle crash, him. Thing that I find interesting is he looked like he was 19. Although I never had a at fault accident in my life. If I had had that car when I was 19 (37 now) I probably would have wrecked it too.

    +1 on the IAC, I would check for a vac leak too... You can check the TPS with a DVOM I recommend this website for ANYONE that needs a little help. This guy explains how to diagnose and test by process of elimination so that your not throwing parts at the car and wasting your hard earned $$$...

    '03 Gt Issues, Please Help!

    First off, the part about the oil pressure at the end of your post. If I'm reading it right it looked like the car was key on engine off when you checked the gauge, Its not going to read any oil pressure when not running. If I read that wrong, my mistake. As far as the car shutting off when...

    Lash Adjuster Issue, Just Need To Verify Something

    Ok guys, about 3 weeks ago I started with this cold start issue where the engine would run rough at idle, but clear up in 10-30 seconds and the car would run strong as ever to my 30 mile trip to work. About a week later when I went to leave work (figures) I started the car and it never cleared...

    Lowering Springs 2001 Mustang

    I had to get use CC plates on my old 87' GT but not with my 96'. Same springs, go figure.

    2002 Mustang Swap From A 1998 Mustang

    Can be done, I would personally stay away from it because the 98' has the NPI engine. If the 02 and the 98 have PATS then you will have to get that sorted. I can't remember if the 98' MY GT's came with returnless fuel system or return, I'm sure someone else could answer that. I think 98 made...

    Lowering Springs 2001 Mustang

    Yep, you should have been provided a decent set of instructions with the kit that would have helped, unless you bought them from CL or EBAY, they prob not. Just do as jodyh described and you will be fine. I can have a set of front springs out in no time. Sounds like you didn't remove the sway...

    Throttle Cable Mod

    I read about this mod back when I first started driving my old 96 GT. I was always curious as to if there was a way to do the mod at the throttle body instead.

    How to Wire IPOD into MACH 1000???

    Agreed on that. I have a 7" Ipod ready multi media unit as well. Had to get a pop out because I have the older style Mach 460 set up. I still use the stock amps and speakers.

    Clutch Question...what Would You Do?

    I with you on that brother! I just did it too only my issue is that the pedal started to become hard to push it. When I took out the clutch to replace it and the pilot I was pretty shocked to see how good the stock clutch was but my issue was clutch fork and pivot ball. OP should make sure...

    Crazy Question On P0174 Code

    Here is my internet diagnosis. You have a leaky gasket on bank 2, drives side. When the A/C compressor pulls a load on the engine the leak gets worse. First thing I would do is a smoke test to rule this out, or take a chance on changing the intake gaskets. Seems like if there was a vac leak in...

    T-45 Question

    +1 on the centerforce clutch for a good feel and upgrade, but really IMO the stock clutch with your upgrades will be more than enough. As stated before make sure and use a FRPP TOB, and try to get away with the stock quadrant and a OEM cable.

    Supercharged V6?

    +1 Also, your not the only one out there full covering a older car. My 00' 'GT 'Vert is full covered as was my old 96' GT and it had 178k on it when I sold it. My 00' has 115k. Honestly, age is the biggest factor with insurance, assuming that the driver has no tickets. My brand new Tacoma...

    98 Mustang Gt Coolant Leak Problem

    Back when I had my 96' GT the heater hose that runs from the front of the engine to the back that is under the intake manifold split on me. It happened in the driveway and the coolant ran out the back through the plastic that covers the hole in the block (Romeo). That hose, at least on my car...
