Having some problems with our 98 Mustang Gt 4.6 V8... everything has been great with the car. I am experiancing the following problem and I believe its the battery but wanted to make sure.
Here is whats happening:
1. insert key
2. turn ignition
3. car starts
4. RPMs immediatly drop like and the car dies, engine shuts off.
I noticed the battery terminals were very corroaded, I cleaned them with a wire brush and still same problem. I think the battery has never been replaced. My g/f bought the car new in 98 and it has 98K on the car.
Any ideas? Am I correct about a possible new battery? Any other things I should be looking at?
Any help is appriciated!
Thanks in advance!
