    Misfire/rough Idle , Bad Injector ?

    For a week or so my 89GT has had a rough idle and a decent miss . When you first start driving it , it'll kind of hesitate and miss but if I get on it hard , it'll clear up and just have a rough idle .

    Polyurethane Trans Mount???

    I was given a prothane polyurethane transmission mount when I did my T5 swap. I'm just now learning that you shouldn't use a polyurethane trans mount without poly or solid motor mounts.
