Did a cbt on my mustang today and it flashed 5 times but then right after that, it flashed 9 times. Why would it show a 5 then show a 9? Does that mean that cylinder five is a problem, or that everything is ok?

Also I am trying to make sure my es motor mounts are not backwards, on the sides of the motor mounts, one side has two nuts and the other side has one. I have the side with one facing up at the fender and the side with two nuts facing the ground, is this right?

Thanks guys.

When you dump the engine running codes, you will get one brief flash and then 4 flashes. The brief flash is a phanton flash that I do not know the meaning of. The 4 flashes in sucession before you press the throttle show that it is a V8 computer. Anything after the throttle exceeds 2500 RPM is information about the results of the CBT. After the CBT finishes, it will dump the rest of the memory codes.
