    Electrical Issues

    My 97 mustang has had some gremlins since I bought it. The door locks sometimes work decently, other times they barely move at all. It's like they aren't getting enough power. Also, my power windows are both problematic. The driver's side window will not "catch" below 1/2 way up, it just makes...

    New Clutch And Transmission Issues

    I replaced the transmission in my car with a lower mileage unit. I also put in a new clutch, throw out bearing, and pilot bearing. It's making a whining noise under acceleration, and at low rpms (1200-1800) it almost makes a rubbing/almost grinding noise. Any ideas guys?

    97 GT won't move in gear

    It won't move it just idles. The clutch pedal feels normal and it definitely shifts out of neutral as the reverse lights come on when I shift into reverse. Taking off the cable cover, the fork seems to have normal movement. I wish I could see if the input shaft is turning with the clutch...

    97 GT won't move in gear

    I have a 97 mustang GT. The transmissi has been rebuilt, and a new clutch was installed. Since the clutch install, the car will not move under its own power. I had an issue with the first clutch set and had to remove it and install another set. It made a grinding noise but would move under...

    Trans/clutch issue. HELP!

    The keys in my transmission broke about 2 months ago. I purchased a rebuild kit and followed the ford service manual for disassembly/reassembly. For a month everything was fine. Then, problems began. When I would release the clutch on a downshift, the whole car would vibrate violently. I knew...

    Front Clip Measurements

    Hey guys, Long story short I bought another "project" mustang. I got it for nearly nothing, and it needed a little work in pretty much all areas. The front has been hit and needs to be pulled a bit. Since it's a 97 GT, it's not really worth dumping a bunch of money into. I am going to...

    96 GT Black Interior - Part Out

    Are you ditching the car or what? Just wondering because you say you're selling body panels and whatnot.

    Stumble under ANY load??

    What should the vacuum read? This will only tell me from the throttle body on right? So if it were between the MAF sensor and the throttle body it wouldn't tell me anything?

    Stumble under ANY load??

    I tried that with little success. I was hoping to get a loaner tool vacuum tester at auto zone. Any idea if they have that?

    Stumble under ANY load??

    Okay here's what I've been coming across so far... The T-bird engine harness had connectors for the O2 sensors on it. The GT engine harness does not. From what I've found online, the starter harness is where the plugs for the front O2 sensors come from. I doubt this is my problem, but at least...

    What is Torque, whats the difference between that and HP?

    Power = torque x rotational speed. A high revving engine doesn't typically have a lot of torque, but it makes up for it by being able to spin very very fast. Torque will get something moving from a dead stop VERY quickly, but horsepower deals more with top end power. This is how bikes are...

    Stumble under ANY load??

    Okay so I purchased a complete 96 GT engine harness/ECU harness/ PCM/CCRM/headlight harness/MAF/etc They should be here by friday hopefully. The question I have though is this- it's all from a 5 speed GT. I know I obviously can't use that computer since mine's an auto (but i intend to keep it...

    Stumble under ANY load??

    Both the T-birds and the Mustang GTs had 4R70W transmissions. Also, they both used 19 lb injectors, and I would assume the MAFs are both calibrated identically. I used the MAF off the t-bird, but the injectors are from a 98 GT (attempted that during the problem diagnosis process). It's not...

    Stumble under ANY load??

    I installed a wideband, and at idle the car is sitting around 13ish, but as you give it gas it climbs all the way to 18ish at WOT. I've clearly got a fuel problem, but I'm not sure what all the possibilities could be.... especially since I'm reading 30 psi fuel pressure at idle and up to 40 psi...

    Stumble under ANY load??

    I checked the firing order and it is identical between the mustang and t-bird. One thing that must be mentioned... the computer in my car had to have the PATS disabled. Is it possible that there were other changes made as well during that process? I have the option of purchasing a wideband...

    Stumble under ANY load??

    I should have elaborated a little more. Everything I can find online indicates that traction control was not even optional on any trim of mustang in 1998.
