Hello all, 2002 GT, trying to figure out why my rear suspension seems to be bottoming out when I hit relatively mild bumps at 10-15 mph. By bumps I mean like the lip when the road transitions to a bridge and back to the road, or if there's a road repair that isn't perfectly level with the...

Hello, I'll start off by confirming that I have searched the threads and followed the guidance in the other posts about this problem to no avail, so here I am. 2002 GT 106,000 miles, no problems before storing and replaced plugs about 4,000 miles ago, but I did neglect to put fuel stabilizer in...

Hello all, been a few years since I've posted here, but I'm running into some problems with my car. 2002 GT, 5 speed, 102k miles. I noticed a few thousand miles ago that I was having some trouble accelerating below 2000 rpm. It seems as if I'm flooding the car if I give too much throttle, but...

Hey guys, my car is developing an issue that is very annoying. My car sat for about 6 months while I was deployed, but I think it was started a few times while I was gone. Once I replaced the battery it started right up, I filled her up with a fresh tank of gas(I stored it with Staybil) and...

hey guys, im about to return to the states after a 6 month deployment and am getting everything in line for removing my car from storage. im just curious about any steps i should take for getting her running after sitting for 6 months. i've had a friend start and run the engine a few times a...

Hello, I am in need of some input about brakes: I need new brakes but I want to do it for as little money as possible because of a tight budget (im replacing tires also) but I also dont want to sacrafice reliability. I plan on doing the Mach 1 brake upgrade when I can save an extra $700 but in...

2002 gt, 76k miles, mods listed in sig, my normal idle speed was around 780, but one day it changed to around 1000rpm. its been pretty constant between 1000-1100rpm for about a week now, but today it started to hang close to 1500rom until i slightly let the clutch out while in gear and it will...

Hi, i have a 2002 gt 5pd, i came across a few extra bucks and want to make my car a little more fun and gain a few hp in the process. I already have a K&N, offroad x-pipe, flowmasters, U/D pulleys, triax shifter, lowering springs, and diablosport tuner, and 72k on the odo. I know the first mod...

so i was cleaning my K&N and noticed there was excessive crap in the intake tube. so i removed the tube and cleaned it out. i looked into the plenum (opening the throttle plate) and saw there was a decent layer of black inside the plenum on the wall adjacent to the firewall and the wall...

i have a 2002 gt with 60800 miles on it. my mods are posted in my sig. two months ago, about 1500 miles, i had my mid pipe swapped out to the factory one for smog reasons. about a month ago i started hearing a ticking noise and i didnt think much of it. i figured it was the beginning of an...

ruined a perfectly good day by failing my smog test. i had the O/R pipe on for around 3 years, with the diablosport tune and mil. had the factory pipe installed, and retored the factory tune. i checked to see if there were any codes last night, and it said there was one for OBD test...

2002 gt: my car is due for smog so i need to put my factory mid pipe back on, but i have the diablsport tune on with the MIL eliminating option on(O2 sensors turned off or w/e). turns out the tuner isnt in my trunk anymore, but the empty box is....what can i do to fix this?

i have an 02 gt with the stock trans. i was changing the oil last weekend and noticed some fresh fluid on the bottom fo the bell housing. the fluid is red, and i assume that is trans fluid. the car motor has 58k on it, but the trans was replaced by ford and has ~15k on it and is still under...

I had a new trans put in after my original one locked up on me, and now this one is doing the same thing. if i am cruising in 2-5th gear around 2000rpm and i let off the throttle i can hear and see the trans move. if i tap the gas @ 2000 rpm in any gear 2-5 the whole car rocks back and forth...

the other day i was on the 91 freeay, and for anyone in SoCal you kno what thats like, and i was only moving 5mph at best, and i noticed my lights gettign real dim and my stereo turning on and off. then when i would accelerate the light got brighter and the radio would be fine. so then i...

Proud owner of a 2002 gt, but my fuel gauge is acting wierd. the first 40-50 miles i drive the needle is in the full position, but by the time i hit about 65-70 miles it is just in front of the 3/4 mark, and the rest of the tank it takes me about 40-50 miles between 1/4's. but, at the last 1/4...

when my car is idling it has a random poping sound, almost like its spitting. if i hold it at 2000rpm it sounds like a misfire, but i unplugged each COP one by one and could tell they were all fireing. its done this since i have owned it, and it only has 52k on the car. i have the diablosport...

I have been hearing a slight exhaust leak for a week or so, and have been very busy dealing with moving and finals so i never really had a chance to look into it. i figured it was just my mid pipe because i have had problems with it in the past. yesterday i heard a funny noise on the freeway...

i was thinking of adding a set of cams, maybe VT stage 2, or something along that line, but i now have just over 50k on the car and i dont kno with that amount of miles it would be smart to switch cams. i want to invest a few more bucks into it, and dont kno where to put it. any ideas? thanks

my car was sitting for a while with the doors locked, and now the passenger door will not lock or unlock by pressing the button. it moves freely when i pull the lever or press the lock down though. what can i do to fix this?? thanks
