Ok, I have never experienced something like this with my car before. It's a 1991 5.0 LX 5-speed with around 140k miles. A few weeks ago I began having a starting issue, turned out to be a bad battery cable. Car drives perfectly for about two weeks, then suddenly when I'm about to head out last...

So the latest problem with my car is that under acceleration is stumbles and stutters a lot, eventually it clears up a little. When it's idling, I get some vibration trough the shifter, though the RPMs stay pretty even. As I take off from a dead start, I feel the car stumbling and a lot of...

Thanks everyone for the replies. Found out it was a broken wire in the door jamb area, wires would connect when door was open, but come apart with the door closed. Fixed it and now it's working perfectly now.

Also, what is the name of the part where the window and door lock switches connect to? The flat, black piece that has the wires connect to on the back and switches connect to on the top. I've been looking everywhere and can't find a specific name.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure how to remove the rubber boot in the door jamb, how did you get it off? I'll check that site out as well, as I am almost certain it's an electrical issue.

Thanks, yeah I also think a wire is getting pinched or getting a bad connection. I'll check that out.

This issue in my '91 is really starting to annoy me. With the door open, the window goes up and down normally, when the door is closed, the window won't go down at all. I tried lowering it with the door open at different angles, and the window goes down with the door about halfway open and...

So I'm still trying to figure out my screeching/squealing noise when the car starts up. I thought I'd try a shorter belt just to see if it would make a difference, the screech was still there, but a little quieter. I did notice that when I put the belt on the arrow on the range indicator was a...

No, I did not have it tested before I installed it, I'm definitely going to do that as soon as possible. And yes I do have the 2G pulley on right now.The more I think about it it does sound like a bad bearing, and if it is I'm glad it came with a 1-year warranty.

It was listed as a brand new alternator and the site I bought it from claims all there products are brand new, but now I don't know if I can believe that. Yeah, I installed the 4g power wire from PA Performance that is sold on LRS.com. Thought it would be easier because it's a complete kit.

I finally made the upgrade to a 3G alternator. I got a 94-95 Mustang 130 amp unit, upgraded the wiring, and 4g wire with 200 amp fuse. After the install, I started the car up and there was a loud metal-on-metal sounding screech for about 1-2 seconds and then it went away and runs completely...

And it did it again last night. I was driving home and slowing down for a red light, and the car died. Took a lot longer to re-start it. I was sitting there for about a minute trying to get it to crank over and it finally did.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm going to try to dump the codes to see if I can get something. The distributor is the original unit, and even though it might not be the problem, I've been thinking about replacing it anyways.

Looks awesome! I love the color, it came out great.

Hey, everyone. My 1991 5.0 LX has been having some problems lately. First, I'll be driving around cruising at a constant speed when suddenly the car dies for a split second, the tach goes to 0, and then right back up to where it was before it died. It feels like the engine completely shuts off...

^Awesome, thanks.

Thanks, guys, I will look into the Infinitys. Also, what size are the speakers in the car? The two in the rear, the doors, and the dash.

Hey, everyone. I think the time has come to replace my stock speakers, the rear ones are starting to make a lot of static (I guess that's what you would expect from 20 year old speakers). So I'm just wondering what all of you guys have in your Stangs, the cost, and how happy you are with them...

Yeah, I made sure to gap them. I pulled all the plugs, reinstalled them, connected the wires one by one, made sure everything was tight, and now the car starts fine, runs great, too. So I know I had something loose or a wire in the wrong spot. Thanks everyone.
