Is there a common area to troubleshoot for surging or bucking under load? When I say surge/buck it feels like the engine is briefly losing power and then back to normal but this symptom is occuring 3-4 times per second under the right conditions. for example when on the freeway in 5th gear I...

Car runs great when its cold but after several minutes of driving it starts to have issues with taking off from a stop, the longer it idles the worse it starts to sound, when I accelerate from a stop it stumbles and hesitates a little until I get into higher rpms, if I rev up the engine a couple...

Lately when I start my car it has to turn over longer than usual (usually a few seconds, normally it would fire almost immediately). I'm also experiencing a loss of power or misfire, it feels like the car isnt running on all 8 cylinders but its random, when the car is idling you can tell it's...

For the last couple weeks the brake light on dash will come on usually when I apply the brakes, even just a light press and other times it will come on while driving without pressing brakes, symptom seems to reduce after car warms up but doesn't completely go away. Brake pedal pressure feels...

I recently had my transmission repaired (T45 / broken shift fork) and although the car drives and shifts fine I'm hearing a new noise I've never heard before just 1 day after getting it out of the shop, as the car is coming to a stop I hear this strange constant squeak / squeal noise which also...

I've had a minor wheel bearing noise for the last year and finally decided to change it, the noise got worse over last few weeks I can actually feel vibration on the floorboard & brake pedal as I'm coming to a stop now (vibration even if I don't apply the brakes). The problem is when we jack...

2000 Mustang GT w/ 95K miles, My AC stopped working recently, the AC clutch doesnt turn on and the engine RPM is erratic at idle with the AC dial in any position other than Off or Vent. Friend of mine told me to jump the low pressure switch with a paper clip and sure enough this makes the AC...

Recently when I start the car after it's been sitting overnight I can hear a fast paced "squeaking" sound, it's loudest under the motor, I thought it was a loose belt at first but it's not nearly as loud above the engine or near the pulleys. The sound goes away after about 3-4 minutes of...

My 00 GT just broke 90k miles and I decided it was a good time to replace the spark plugs, the old plugs were motorcraft platinum's and they were gapped between .63 to .72 when I pulled them out :eek: so I'm guessing they've been in there for awhile, Perhaps they're the original plugs. I...

Hi I have a 2000 Mustang GT with 89K miles and was wanting to change the plugs, I bought the car 4 years ago and not sure if or when the plugs have ever been changed, I have a JLT cold air intake coming in the mail and figured I would give it a tune up. The problem is I can't get the plugs to...

I was running Duralast Gold C-Max ceramic pads up front and they had excellent stopping power but created an insane amount of dust, I was always having to wash my rims. They lasted 1 year before wearing down so I decided to try another brand in hopes of reducing dust output. I went with a...

I recently noticed when my motor is running the tail lights are always on but in a dim state even if the headlight switch is completely off, This isnt normal right? They're lit at around half brightness compared to if I turn the parking lights or headlights on and I verified they work proper...

Ugh.. I go to get in my car this morning and notice someone tried to break in last night, (Picture below is self explanatory, even scratched the door tint) The problem is I don't have a garage to put the car in at night.. It seems weird to me that when you lock the doors with the remote you...

Whenever I use the defrost setting on my heater (to clear foggy windshield) it causes the motor to have random loss of power (kind of a bucking sensation) also when I come to a stop the idle will go up and down along with the motor dying altogether at random times, It died on me 3 times today...

So I'm driving my car today and part of the intake manifold cracked where a heater hose(?) comes off the firewall and into the manifold, Im just curious how common this is or why it may of happened, the car has 75K miles. I noticed the intake is plastic which kinda surprised me but I guess ford...

For the last few days my car doesn't turn over as quickly as usual, normally it fires right up (even in the morning) but lately it has to turn over for a few seconds. Also today I was driving and it just died out of nowhere and wouldn't start for a few minutes, it would just turn over and...

I noticed today when I have the AC on and the car is idling you can hear a strange noise coming from the engine ,kinda like rocks in a can type noise but its really hard to describe, The weird part is when I depress the clutch this noise goes away? This symptom only happens when the AC is on...

I recently started hearing some squealing from the rear brakes and figured it was time to replace the pads.. Well both the driver side pads still had plenty of meat but on the passenger side the inner pad was worn *all* the way down to nothing but the outer pad was still had plenty of meat left...

I have a 00 GT and a local shop says they can install a Procharger / fuel pump / dyno tune it for $7,200 out the door (that cost includes the procharger itself as well of course)... Im not sure what the typical supercharger install costs. is that bad/good? Also they told me since my car is...

So I'm trying to figure out if my car has the stock gears in it or possibly 3.73's ,I bought the car off the lot (Carmax) a little over a year ago, when you pop the hood it looks bone stock, no cold air intake etc. and it has stock exhaust, ive always assumed no engine work or other mods have...
