Within the last month, my mustang has started acting up a little. When I drive it for some time (especially when it's scorching hot out) I will shut the car off, and when I try to restart it the fuel pump will not power up. By simpling allowing the car to sit a few minutes and cool, everything...

Thanks to Stangnet, I was able to stumble my way through the install of the Cobra front and rear brakes. I picked up the set from stangsuspension.com I also put speedbleeders on the new calipers, and purchased a set of chrome cobra rims, with kuhmo tires. 275 rears, 245 fronts. Anyways, heres...

Here's the deal guys.... AC compressor is not kicking on and the car is blowing hot air. What I've checked so far. Low pressure safety switch has no voltage to either pin when AC is off, when AC is switched on inside car, one pin shows 12v. I have run a jumper wire between the two pins...

Hey guys, went to Orlando friday night and showed a little improvement with no changes to the car. It was 63 degrees and dry out. Heres my two slips First Run Second Run RT .768...

Can a lower intake gasket leak allow coolant in to your oil? :shrug:

My AC on the stang has got into the bad habit of cycling on and off at will. For instance, when I took it out for a drive yesterday, the AC did not work for the first 20 minutes, then blew cold for 20, then seemed to cycle back and forth at will. Freon is charged to the proper levels, checked...

Gotta love that 6 months same as cash Summit credit card. How many quarts of radiator fluid am I going to need, and should I go ahead and put 2 bottles of water wetter or one in it. Is a new radiator cap required? Also, and installation tips out there??

Why would I be leaking gas from around my fuel pump?? There is not gasket,,perhaps it just needs to be tightened down more?? Only time it leaks is when tank is completely full, or when I go around corners hard left wish sloshes full to upper right of tank. Any ideas?? :bang:

Ok guys, here's a weird one. Started pouring out fuel on my gas tank in the area of the filler pipe, so I assumed that it was the infamous grommet. Bought a new grommet, dropped the tank today, and really didnt see anything that bad with my old grommet. I went ahead and changed it anyways...

At least you didn't lose to a v6 Accord like me.... :shrug: Oh well...finally made my first trip to the track, and the results were hardly great, but I did learn quite a bit. First off let me say that I was really in a hurt in terms of traction, right now I'm running Walmart Goodyear...

Need all the suggestions I can get guys. I'm gonna head to orlando speedworld saturday night and try the midnight racing. Never raced before, and am starting to get a little nervous.(ok, a lot nervous) Correct me if I'm wrong...bleed rear tires down to 25, and fronts 35-40. I'm running P.O.S...

Hey guys, took the stang by poweredbyford yesterday as I was hitting temps of 218 on the highway and was really getting nervous. Florida weather is already torturous. Anyways, they informed me to put in some water wetter, get rid of my underdrives (this will be the LAST resort), and that my "air...

OMG OMG OMG what a difference. I'll give the quick story in case anyone else is considering putting shocks/springs on. I used many of the threads on stangnet to figure this out, never done it before today. Whoever had the car before me was a moron, had chopped the springs unevenly, even to the...

First the story... Had my gears done about a month ago in my car, while they were being done the mechanic pointed out to me how whoever owned the car before me had broken to of the bolts that hold the cover in place, and glued them back on. The mechanic said he'd do a good job with the sealer...

Hey guys, not sure if this is just coincidence, but I just installed a speed cal on my car a few days ago, and now I have noticed that the odometer and trip meter are not working. Ive researched the board and see that the problem may be a bad "worm" gear or the circuit got fried. Speedo and...

For laughs, I figured I would give an idea of my costs of owning my Stang for the first 10 months I have had it.....please dont flame me for what I paid, or what I bought, this is just for a chuckle :nice: Also, my purchasing is rather conservative in comparison to what a lot of guys on here...

Still working on my problem, went ahead and bought a mechanical temp gauge so I could see exactly what is going on.... Car has stock radiator, 180 thermostat...no cooling system mods...60/40 water/coolant At idle Temp =208 , then fan will come on and cool down to 202 range Temp...

Ok...finally had enough of wondering about the bubbles in my coolant, so I went to Napa and bought a combustion leak detector for 50 bucks. Basically, what it is,,is a rubber seal that you put on top of you radiator, connected to a glass vile with a liquid substance you put in, this substance is...

Just got off the phone with a mecahic...he states a good way to check head gasket failure (besides the normal water in oil, ect) is to take the belt off (thus the water pump doesnt pump), take the thermostat and the housing off, and crank the car up and watch for bubbles coming out of the...

Ok,, quick rundown,,,,water pump is less than a year old, brand new 180 thermostat with two tiny holes drilled in it, thermostat IS in the right way, new rad hoses, new Water/coolant, 70% water. Rad cap is pretty new.... When the car gets up near operating temperature, the UPPPER radiator...
