Hey guys, I registered here a while ago when I got my first mustang. But after I found the car was rotted to all hell, I sold it and havent gotten back into one until now. 1990 GT
Bought it on thursday. for a grand. Crank no start. Got it running today. There was a broken wire going to the ECM relay which meant the ecm would not poer on at all, hence my no fuel/spark problem. Repaired the break, put some gas in and it fired right up. Ran pretty well seeing how I havent timed it properly yet. Thats for tommorow.
It does have a clutch issue though, wont disengage... only when the motor is running though. Works fine when the cars off. Throw out bearing is whining,and you can hear a faint scraping noise when the clutch pedal is down. so a clutch kit will be ordered soon.
I did manage to take her down the road however, when its in gear it drives beautiful. cant wait till its timed tommorow.
It does need work as you wouldexpect a thousand dollar fox body would, but overall im pleased. Rust is minimal, engine runs strong and trans feels good when you can actually get it in gear.
I should be pretty common around here now. Quick thanks to everyone on the site that has contributed to the many useful threads. They definatly helped me out today.
