Hey guys I'm in the Air Force In UK and I got a serious problem my 99 GT 4.6L has been running very rough. It has been running very rich as all you have to do is start the car up and you can smell the gas out of the exhaust from the front of the car. It started throwing out a P1000 fault code when i hooked up my neighbors predator tuner to it. No check engine light nothing. It started when he put in a new stereo system to it. I was driving home from work the day it started, once the bass hit it started running very bad. Almost like the car went into limp home mode. Threw no codes. Here is a list of parts i have changed. BTW Altenator showed signs of burning; charred, blackened and discolored :
New Alternator 200 AMP
New coil and plugs Weapon X COP
New Battery
Now today after I installed the new Coils, after running it for about an hour or so it suddenly started a really bad knock. It also kicked out a p0172 (Bank 1 running very rich). It almost sounds as if it is coming from the intake manifold. And smoking out of the exhaust (white smoke). I started it up about 3 more times for about 30 seconds each time. And every time it sounds like it is coming from there. Also when I popped the oil cap it looked like there was water mixing in with the oil (looked almost like chocolate milk, I think it's condensation its cold hear) So i thought it was a blown head gasket but i was always told that if it was a blown head gasket you would get no heat. But the wierd thing is the heater was working just fine. I had no drop in coolant. So i am really scratching my head on this one. One more thing is that the car has been sitting for about 2 months. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks again!
