Yesterday, I put it up on a friend's lift. The negative ties to a 5/16" stud next to the starter. Fortunately it's not with the starter's positive lead which is difficult to reach. I found a new cable at advanced auto. The longest one was 49" and just reached. I zip tied it to the original...

This is on a 1996 3.8L base coupe. I see the one to the core support. I'm interested in where the heavy cable goes. The manual says it's ground G105 and is on the left front of the engine but don't see where. The battery has lost ground connection, so I need to know where to look. I know...

Can someone tell me where the battery negative return is supposed to attach on a V6 mustang? I need to know where the other end of this battery cable gets grounded.

What torque spec? Was there any debris under the head of the bolt that would cant the head sideways? Is the manifold flat and true under the bolt head?

Try replacing the brushes. Cost is around $14. Remove four torx screws on the back to access the assembly. The repair can be accomplished without removing the alternator from the car if you get some stubby 1/4" hex drive torx bits. Napa has a set. Be sure to remove the paperclip wire that...

I'm wondering if you have a faulty fuel injector that's leaking fuel when the car's parked. Also, check the fuel rail pressure sensor, pressure regulator, and look for fuel leaks.

IDK about holding pressure when off, but on my 96, I hear the fuel pump run momentarily and switch off after turning the ignition switch to ON prior to cranking. Pressure at the fuel rail for the '99 should be 35-50psi with the engine running and 25-40psi with the key on/engine off. If...

Or look for a pick-a-part yard nearby.

Gas tanks can get rusty through the years and rust particles are very abrasive. If there is rust in the tank, it's a good idea to replace it. You can get a $20 USB camera on eBay that will let you look inside. Search for 200X USB magnifier.

Booyah!!

I sent you a PM. I had an idea this morning that may help you search for a short/overload. In place of the fuse, insert a 12 volt bulb. An old prewired tail lamp socket would make this easiest. One should cost a buck or so at the pick-a-part and they are handy to have in the toolbox. Just...

That lug corrosion was from high current through it. The crimp is the highest resistance part of the connector, so it gets hot during overload, heats the wire and causes formation of a copper oxide that flakes off. This oxide looks different than typical copper oxidation and is typical of what...

On my '96 Taurus, I've had to change the rear caliper assemblies several times because they seize up. I believe the design is similar or same. IDK if the 00 GT has phenolic or metal pistons. The Taurus has metal and they corrode locked in place. You can check by removing the caliper, open...

You can test these fuses with a meter or test light without unplugging them. Poke the test leads through the two holes in the top of the fuse. Check all of them just in case you identified the wrong location.

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive flywheel? The car will only see spirited street use. I've ordered a RAM 88467 clutch. I was considering the Centric 210.61005 flywheel. I don't want to turn the original. I need to kill the chatter on my first try.

Mounting bolts at deck lid edges and one in the center. Different than the two-mount style. New with instructions, gaskets and hardware. Factory painted red. Minor scratch at one tip. NOS. $25, pick up near Frederick, MD. Due to size, will not ship.

If you can locate the last owner to hold title, he can apply for a lost title replacement and transfer it to you. There are also options with state police/motor vehicles that can assign a vin which can be titled and registered on hobby built cars. You would need invoices for your major...

Have you replaced the bulbs? The filament can sag inside and short out the bulb, typically in an intermittent fashion. It could short only while the brake is on while the car is going over bumps or vibrating.
