    Engine Rough Idle

    When I start my car, it runs fine. As soon as I touch the gas, there is a misfire on the passenger side. Lasts until I turn the car off. It's a 2005 GT, mostly stock (Cai, tune). This just started. Fairly new spark plugs. What do you guys think it is?

    Engine P0012 Code In 05 Gt

    It has about 120,000 miles. I was running 10-30 all the time. The guy was pretty adamant about not running anything heavier than 20 wt oil because the tubes in the sensors are so small, the thicker oil can't get through. I am tempted to do the repairs rather than get a new engine because...

    Engine P0012 Code In 05 Gt

    I get a P0012 DTC and my engine runs rough under load (it idles fine). I took it to a diagnostic specialist and he said I will need a new engine. He based this diagnosis because he has tried to fix 4 other cars and 3 of them have had a catastrophic engine failure soon after the repair. The...

    P0012

    My GT has 125,000 miles. Several months ago, my car would 'hesitate'. I changed spark plugs abd the fuel filter with no change. Then I started getting the P0012 code. I took it to a diagnostic guy who told me I would need a new engine. He told me if I replace all the timing components, it would...

    05 Mustang Gt Diagnosis Help....hard Fix!

    I just started having this problem. My 05 GT Manual trans started "stuttering" when I accelerate from a low RPM. I took it to a computer diagnostic shop and he is unable to figure out the cause. His computers found that the engine is running 68% rich. The only error code I've gotten was the...

    I think I got that code once (At least I think it was that code)...This was 4 years ago...check your throttle body...mine was really dirty from the CAI. That might help your problem.

    How many miles on your S197, total and yearly

    I have an 05 which I bought new in February of 05. It had 18 miles on it. I now have a little over 104,000 miles on it. It's my daily driver that I drive 90 miles round trip 4 days a week. I guess that averages about 20,000 per year. As for necessary repairs, I had to change the rear...

    ca window tint laws and prescriptions

    There is a testing tool. The user places a device on each side of the window and it shoots light between the devices and tells what the percentage on the tint is. This device costs $150 and police do well enough in court to justify not buying one. There is case law on window tint. I...

    Has anyone fixed their own gauges?

    My stock tach, temp and volt gauges all died. The tach is completely dead, the other two read incorrectly-the amps point straight up and the temp at the 3 o'clock. Has anyone here changed their own stepper motors? I know there's a special tool required, but what tool? I have average...

    Sattelite radio antenna mounting location question - 2006 GT

    I put mine in the rear window, mounted where the rear glass meets the body. The nav unit came with a small piece of metal so i put the xm and nav antenna on it and placed it on the carpet. You can see it but it's not noticable.

    Annoying Temperature Gauge (2005 V-6)

    My temp gauge just started doing almost the same thing...it freaks out on the hot side. Yesterday I was driving it and it was running almost pegged hot. I pulled over and opened the hood and I could still touch the motor...it just wasn't that hot. I got back in, started it up and it went to...

    Interceptor Concept?

    Anybody know what's going on with this car? Ford's plan was to have it replace the Crown Vic in 2011. Any word?:shrug:

    Throttle Problem???

    I had this problem. It was the oil coming off of the after market air filter. If you have an after market intake, that could be the problem. Just take the throttle body off and clean around the butterflies. If you have a stock intake, I can't help you.

    MUSTANG WINS! - Car and Driver front page!

    I'd say the coyote would be supercharged in the gt500 and n/a in the gt. I have the car and driver/motor trend magazines. They are always biased away from ford. In one issue they compared the gt500 and the z06 and gave the z06 the winning nod, as it should because those are 2 different types...
