Hello Stang Freaks, I got one for ya...so I have a 98 Stang I did the Mark Viii swap with. Car is my daily and even with my ghetto craftsmanship has been running good since the white trash swap back in August.
The problem:
Yesterday I got home from work and decided to rewire my intake air sensor. I unplugged positive terminal (my negative is a mess and I try not to touch it). I extended the wires and hooked up the sensor, proceeded to hook battery up. Immediately all the speakers pretty much start making a bass powered hum as soon as I hook the battery up. WIth no key in ignition and I even pulled my deck out so the stereo isn't even on. On top of that if I try to start it I can hear my starter spin but it's not engaging so somehow maybe the wire shorted out and killed it. I do have an oil leak that has caused my starter to fail in the past but I think the timing is strange as the car was fine and not showing any developing issues with starter. I pulled neg terminal and made sure ground etc was ok as that has given me issues. But as soon as I plug it up HUMMMMMM. I pop started the car and the car idles and starts fine. Local mustang shop is trumped. Has anyone dealt with this? If I wiggle the positive terminal wires the buzzing slightly changes in tone so I think I need to start there. Let me know what you think!! Thank you in advance.
