My wife's 2000 GT (5 speed) appears to be running on only one side.
She was on her way to work yesterday morning. She went to take off from a traffic light and the car made a noise, bang, whatever sound, then stalled. She managed to restart it (a few times) and get it off the road.
Had it towed home and I'm going to check it out this morning.
Car is mostly stock. CAI, Borla Extreme Cat-back and Ford replacement intake manifold.
So far I've noticed it only runs with your foot on the gas pedal.
Seems like there is not much coming out of the passenger side tailpipe.
The drivers side seems like it's LOUDER than usual???
Or maybe it just seems that way because the right sides not running?
Motor has 152,000 miles, not abused in any way.
Service engine soon light is on now.
Oil pressure and water temp appears normal.
No smoking, no backfiring, no leaks of any kind.
No excess pressure from the radiator cap, so I think the head gasket's cool.
I need to pick up a Code reader first thing this morning so I can diagnose this problem.
Any ideas/input on what might cause one bank to quit all of a sudden like that?
Thanks for any tips/info.
