Hey guys,
I recently bought a 1973 Mustang coupe. The engine was replaced with a 351 Cleveland and the transmission is out of an 80’s mustang.
The car currently runs, but has issues I am not able to figure out. Hopefully one of you can get me pointed in the right direction because I am officially stumped at this point.
Issues:
- Engine starts in drive, but as soon as gears are switched the engine will cut off.
- Engine will also cut off one the gas pedal is depressed.
- I talked with the original owner and he suggested it was a neutral safety switch. I changed it out and it was having the same issues so it was not that but could possibly be the wiring to that switch (I did not check yet).
So any suggestions or ideas on how I can start to troubleshoot these problems would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
