Does mustang GT 2005 has a problem with their alternators? Because once my car get warm I loose power and the electricity voltage drops and my coils gets burned! Could be anything else apart from this that the car is loosing electricity?

These cars are WAY sensitive... do you have a running light out, maybe a blinker?

Did you just go over a bumpy road, the clips on cpu in front 'jiggle' loose rather easily.


Oh, tap on fuse box, our 2005 are famous for this....

I have chacked the alternator and the battery. they told me it could be the problem from you car computer because until now i have changed my coils for 5 times. once i put new sets of coils and sparkplugs the car runs fine for 1000 Kms. After that the car starts cuting on a high RPM onces the engine becomes hot! many of my friends said its not an meachical issue its the problem with your electricity.... i am going to change the car computer and re-tune the car hoping that the issue wll be solved.

Just got off the phone with the Ford stealership. Apparently it was a blown 30m Fuse and a faulty PCM relay. Took them 5 hours to figure it out after I told them I thought it was a blown fuse... Apparently you don't have to be too quick with the mind to be a service tech.
