    Ccrm Help Pls

    Last time I was on here, I was jobless and down to my last $100 and my 98 GT was overheating and I needed to pinpoint the issue so I could still feed my belly. Anyway, I’m working now (yay) and ready to try to fix this thing. Originally, the fan was only kicking on when the AC was on max, now...

    Overheated during inspection!

    For the past few weeks, the stang has been overheating. Come to find out it was a stuck thermostat so I replaced it and it was fine for about 2 weeks until it overheated again b/c the fan wasn't coming on. I replaced the plug and wires with parts from Ford and it worked. Then I drove it from my...

    Updates and Issues

    Haven't posted in awhile. Basically, I've had my GT 3 years now and I'm just getting around to fixing some things on it. Everytime I look around I get surprised by something stupid the previous owner did. Anyway, my latest discovery led me to replace the intake with a BBK CAI. It breathes so...

    Might be getting a Ninja 500 soon, but...

    I think I post this here, if not let me know. This guy at my job has a Ninja 500 that his bank was supposed to repo nearly a year and a half ago. He's called them numerous times and they won't pick it up. As a matter of fact, they wrote it off. I believe this because I went through this...

    New problem every week!

    Last week was wiring now I'm leaking radiator fluid. I went out to my car and had a puddle of fluid leaking from the firewall. There's a small rubber end that sticks out about an inch and the fluid runs from it while the car is running. What am I missing? Is it a hose or something supposed to...

    Maybe its the wiring??

    Ill try to make this short but its still long, my car got broken into a couple months ago and the idiots didnt know what they were doing and messed up my wiring. When I first got it out of the shop the "theft" light would come on when I was driving and flash intermittently. I took it back and...

    So I was driving and....

    the exhaust fell off! Yeah, I know I needed new exhaust because it was cut after the cats and I'm tired of breathing in fumes and getting headaches, but now I really need some new exhaust. It fell off and I ended up driving over it. I was on a bridge so there was no shoulder. So when all the...

    Anybody have an owners manual for '98?

    Today I was on the highway and a yellow light with a picture of what looks like water and a fan came on. Then a slight burning smell started coming through the vents. I'm assuming the light is indicating the radiator but I need to make sure. Also, I noticed a puddle right under where the...
