    cold starting problems '01 gt

    Hi, I have an '01 gt that dies right after start up. The only way to keep it running is to lay into the throttle for a while. Once the engine is warm, start up isn't usually a problem. I've checked all my under hood hoses, etc. I checked the pcv valve, seems ok. One weird thing that I've...

    Injectors/ and oil capacity questions

    I have a 2001 gt. The owners manual says five qts engine oil. If I fill any more than 5 qts, the car is overfilled and will burn oil.(so I know this to be the correct amount) However, From what I am told, other late model gt's require 6 qts. Is there a different oil pan used on 02 - up gt's...

    Having a problem with doors on an '01 gt

    driving me nuts. Both passenger and drivers doors are making a "cracking" sound when closed. I think it might have something to do with the wheel on the lower hinges. I've lubricated the hinges but they are still making the sound. Has anyone ever heard about or experienced something like...

    What color coolant?

    I have a 2001 gt and just the other day I checked my coolant for the first time and it was a dark green color. I know this guy who has a 2004 gt with yellow coolant. He says its the high mileage stuff. Did my car not come with the same fluid as the '04? Just curious. Do Mustangs come with...

    Bought a fox

    1985 GT to be exact. It is fairly clean for a 19 year old car, and to my knowledge it is pretty much stock. Does anyone know the stock hp and tq ratings for '85? Also, does it have a 7.5 or 8.8' rear end? Did it come with duel or single exhaust? Mine has a duel but it is split from one...

    Minor differences between '01 and '04 Gt's

    I have noticed. Specifically, the fuel injectors are different colors. The '01 being orange and the '04 being pink. Now, I have heard that the orange ones are 19 lbs and the pink ones are 24 lbs. Can anyone confirm this? And if so, would not the throttle bodies be different sizes as well...

    3.9 Liter v-6 ?

    I saw it listed on some window stickers on '04 models. Is this a "new" engine or is it still the same 3.8 and they are just calling it 3.9? Just curious because I have never heard of it except for 3.9 v-8 in the Lincoln and Thunderbird.

    04 GT people...

    I've heard that the 04 GT's are offered with a 3.55:1 gear ratio option. Is this true? and If so, is it offered on the auto and 5 speed both? Thanks.

    Are Long - Tubed headers emission legal in Chicago area

    counties covered under the Illinois air team? I was thinking of getting some for sound and also some low- end tq naturally aspirated. I have an '01 4.6 gt and will have to get passed next year- (I haven't been tested yet) Let me know, because if they're not emissions legal I'm SOL. Thanks.

    t-45 recommended fluid

    I have heard that amsoil is a good product. I filled the rear housing with it when I did the gear swap. No troubles. Question: is anyone using it in their t-45? My 2001 gt currently has 46,000mi and I was considering changing the fluid at 50k and then again at 100k. Amsoil? opinions? thanks.

    Paint chips

    I have a few small paint chips on my hood from the ice this winter. My car is black and has the plastic hood (2001). I have some black touch- up paint from Ford in the little bottle with the brush applicator, but everytime I use it, it dries blotchy. Is there a way to apply it so it dries...
