yes just like the title says a broke spring on my #3 exhaust valve. Ford did not even get it this summer when I took it to them and they told me the injectors must be stopping up. sold me a cleaning kit too. So I shopped around and got some injectors cheaper on the net put those in and still had the problem. It would even pass a comp test, luckily I got a good mech on it.

Bummer... Hope getting it fixed doesn't turn into too much of a hassle. How many miles you up to your 05?

way to many 110k now and I drove it about 6-7k with it broke. I bought a truck to help stop racking up so many on the mustang. Boy I get great gas milage in the mustang compared to my other vehicles.
my mech use to work at ford and hes kinda family. He luckily was able to do it without pulling it out. so it only cost me minimal. tg
