    Could someone run a CarFax please?

    Makes sense...I haven't used CarFax since mine expired in '06 (when I was the one running them for everyone here on StangNet). She ended up buying the car. I lent her $300 to do so...well, I am creating a thread about how the purchase went down.

    Could someone run a CarFax please?

    Hi, a friend of mine is looking to buy a 97 GT Convertible, wanted to see if someone could be so kind to run a CarFax for her. I am going to look at the car right now. Please don't buy a CarFax for it, but this is for anyone who may have an account at the time. Any and all help is appreciated...

    Faint POP...No Brakes, Power Steering

    Swapped out the rack & pinion last night. Picked it up for $193.99 at AutoZone with a $63 core fee. Got 10% off just for asking, w00t! Once we got the old rack & pinion off, I noticed a hairline fracture in the top of it...just as I thought! It had been worn down over the years by the oil...

    Faint POP...No Brakes, Power Steering

    It looks like the leak is coming from the top of the rack & pinion. We put some fluid in there and I got where I could see underneath the car when my fiancé started it...leaking BAD. It seems to be coming from the top of the rack & pinion, right under the engine block. Seems like a place that...

    Faint POP...No Brakes, Power Steering

    What may have caused it to pop in the first place? I have had the car over 6 years and I've never had a hose "pop" on me...is there possibly a clog somewhere? Thank you for the info, I appreciate it!

    Faint POP...No Brakes, Power Steering

    2 nights ago I was backing out of a parking spot and had turned my wheels a bit, but not all the way. Started backing out and heard a faint POP noise. I continued to back out of the spot, noticing that my steering was getting more and more difficult. Once backed out of the parking spot, I saw...

    PCM Fuse Problem - Blows at Key On

    Yup, sure did! It was a bad fan...anytime the fan came on, it would blow. So after searching long and hard for months, through junkyard and junkyard, I found a 1998 Mustang GT Convertible (exact match) with 27,300 miles on it...the fan seriously looked brand new after I got it home and dusted it...

    Radiator Fan from a 2004 GT in a 1998 GT?

    It's been a while...but the time has come where I've found my short and it was in my radiator fan! So I ask this, will a 99-04 radiator fan work in my 98 GT? I've searched, found nothing in the forums relating to this. Also, is the radiator compatible as well? Most of the fans I find come...

    PCM Fuse Problem - Blows at Key On

    I'm not saying that you are wrong, but where did you get information that suggests F1.26 powers the ignition in my car? If this were true, I would assume the car wouldn't even turn over. My car doesn't have COPs, it has the 2 coil setup. I'm not exactly sure what the radio interference...

    PCM Fuse Problem - Blows at Key On

    The fuse being blown is EJB 26 (F1.26) I understand exactly what you're saying though. I have the O2 sensors unplugged (one of the first things I checked) and it still happens. I unplugged every visible sensor/connector under the hood and in the trunk and nothing resulted in a fix. Here's...

    PCM Fuse Problem - Blows at Key On

    My car was manufactured in May of 1998. Is it possible that they switched to the new fuse panel for those later/1998.5 models?

    PCM Fuse Problem - Blows at Key On

    Ok, so I've read almost every single PCM fuse issue thread out there but no one ever really said how they fixed it or what the problem ended up being. So before you tell me to search...I already have! The normal **** happened when the PCM fuse blows -- the car was running, but it sputtered to...

    anyone running 275/35 18s up front?

    I think they come with either 245's or 255's up front. Not 100% sure, but I know they are not 275's.

    Lowering 02 GT

    One important thing that I will add: if you're lowering it, I highly suggest installing CC plates too.

    Air intake

    If I remember correctly, JLT is dyno-proven. I've done extensive research on their product (years ago) and it seems really amazing. I was going to purchase one, but I got rid of the urge to mod my car, and instead fix the things that are wrong with it :) If you do purchase, make sure you look...
