    Selling the GT...

    I'm bringing this thread back from the dead. So, I recently landed a great full-time job. I'm an Air Technician for the Utah ANG. Went from flight line maintainer to a nice desk job with my own office (I'm a maintenance analyst now). My wife has an even better job, so our dual income might...

    96 Gt Won't Turn Over.

    Ended up being the terminal lug that bolts to the solenoid. $2.50 part....after hours of cursing sweating. I know how to change the starter now....so I guess there's that.

    96 Gt Won't Turn Over.

    Bump. Ok scratch that last post. Total coincidence. But now the car has completely stopped turning over 100% of the time. I just spent 2 hours pulling the starter out. Took it to autozone for a bench test. Starter and solenoid both tested good. So the battery is new and the starter and solenoid...

    96 Gt Won't Turn Over.

    So this problem got weird. It died again yesterday and today. But I figured out that pressing in the gas pedal while turning the key...it turns over and starts right up. Is there a connection between throttle position and the ability for the engine to turn over? This is strange.

    96 Gt Won't Turn Over.

    Well I just walked to autozone for the new battery. So far so good. Seems to have fixed it. I'll start her up periodically to make sure. Holy balls batteries got expensive. My last one five years ago was 90 for a motorcraft. The one before that was 65. This one was 110!

    96 Gt Won't Turn Over.

    I tried a search but I'm doing this on an old iPhone on a slow connection. So I don't have enough patience. So hopefully this problem hasn't been solved a thousand times on here. So it's a 96 GT 5-spd. I just drove it 1100 miles to Sheppard AFB for a TDY and the car made it fine. Today I drove...

    Fuel How To Replace Fuel Filler Tube Gasket *pics*

    Awesome write-up man! I just followed your instructions and changed mine on my 96 GT in 1.5 hours. Only had to loosen the tank strap bolts until they were both sticking out about an inch and a half or so. It wasn't too hard at all :nice:

    Modular Depot. Final Verdict 7 Years Later.

    I mean everything. EGR, O2, everything that has to do with emissions. I guess they meant the knock sensor. I don't know. It's just listed as "Engine misfire." I can understand turning of the O2 sensors as common practice, but they didn't ask me if I wanted anything disabled. Not to mention my...

    Modular Depot. Final Verdict 7 Years Later.

    First off you can read about the majority of my experience here: http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/modular-depot-my-feelings-about-them.660098/#post-6403699 Now, 7 years later I'm paying for their f*ck ups again. I recently went in for Salt Lake County emissions testing. You can...

    So I found out today that SLC will give me a one-year waiver as long as I spend at least $450 in emissions corrections. So, since I need the car tuned for the elevation change anyway, I'll tune it this year and have it set to monitor all the hippie systems and then that will give me a year to...

    Oh I am. For that price, this shop isn't even including the KY Jelly.

    That's awesome. I could try that. The problem is during all my military moves I've lost the receipts for most of my mods. I might be able to pull up credit card statements though. If not, I've found a way that's a little cheaper. This shop is charging me so much because they are charging me for...

    You can do that on a 2004???? How? Can I still drive it every day if it has collector plates? Because I totally will.

    So...I went to have my emissions inspection done here in SLC and failed. Apparently they have new standards here that require a car to have equipment equivalent to what it had from the factory and the computer MUST monitor all emissions systems. My car failed for the following reasons: 1. I...

    Screeching Noise (96 Gt)

    Ok so I got the clutch changed. It went pretty smoothly. But now something odd happened. My old clutch used to engage somewhere between the middle and top of the pedal travel. For the first two days after the replacement, the new clutch was engaging completely after letting the pedal out only...

    Gt 500

    Exercises are the worst part of the Air Force. I'm in the Guard now, but before I left AD I was at Moody AFB which is a damn swamp, and we had our ORI right before I left. No roster rotations for ORE's either. I was in EVERY one of those things every month for about 8 months...and on day shift...

    Tk600 Transmission For 96 Gt

    If it came from a 94-95 5.0, you're gonna need this: http://www.americanmuscle.com/frpp-tremec-mod-bellhousing-9613.html If it came from a 96+ 4.6, then it must already have it.

    Gt 500

    Yeah it's nice to just be able to mod your car as you can afford it rather than be obligated to a payment every month. Respect. I couldn't work on fighters. The tempo is insane. I'm a heavies guy. And a pointy head (comm/nav).
