COol, thanks for the info, I'll remember that

OK, I'll give that a shot My dad's got an old camcorder, so I can use that to get a video of where I'm pushing on the suspension and the sound it'll make. If I can wrangle a friend or even a family member (they owe me for more than a few oil changes :D), I'll include a short driving session and...

It only seems to come from bouncing the drivers side and surrounding hood area. Very little to no creaking at all when I bounce the passenger's side. It creaks sometimes when getting in the car (and I'm not a big guy by any standards) or opening/shutting the door. I'll check on the grease...

I mistakenly thought the "idle rollercoaster" had to do with A/F. Thanks for the info! I'm still learning a ton...

Sorry, forgot M.Y. Car is a '98... Interesting twist driving home tonight too. It rained while I was working but was stopped by the time I was headed home and it wasn't creaking nearly as bad. Seems like it's somewhat affected by humidity. Does that change the diagnosis or favor one over the...

I have a really loud (and embarassing in public) squeaking/creaking noise from my front end. It happens while braking slightly, steering while not accelerating, driving over any bumps in the road, even just turning the wheel while stopped. I'm dumber as a box of rocks as far as suspension goes...

I went with the American Muscle one for my 98, and they have a similar kit for the same price for 99-03 sixers. That one seems perfect and very similar to the stack racing and BBK ones (The only difference seems to be in name, color, and a few brand name labels on the tube fittings). If you...

Hope it helps! I stripped a TPS screw when I was installing a new throttle body, so I know how much of a pain that can be. I ran with only 1 screw for a bit, but I ended up getting a new one from PepBoys or Autozone (can't remember which, either Duralast or ACDelco, something like that) and it...

There is a pretty good dip at the end of my driveway that holds water and I know could soak the undercarriage, so I'll try to dry it out to see if that could be the case. Being from F.M., I'm sure you know how often it rains here in S. Florida (Raining where I am right now!), so the dip has been...

While I'm thinking about it, anyone know the flow for the stock fuel injectors on a 98 v6? I found a cheap set of 6 but they're 19lb and idk what (if anything) that would do to my car. Thanks!

First let me say I'm still kinda new to the DIY world, but I do know enough to do some regular repairs. I'm having a number of problems with my Automatic 98 v6... Don't have access to my codekey now but I know I've had P1150-P1152 all at the same time (Rich, Lean, and System at limit?) and...

Yeah thats how it is in the 98...I was just trying to explain it in my own words because my Chilton Manual says "On the 3.8 and 4.6 (SOHC), the PCV is on the right (passenger's) side valve cover" which seems contradictory (right passenger side? maybe from inside the car, and its wrong anyways...

I need to replace the PCV system in my 98 v6. The rubber grommet and motorcraft valve parts are easy enough to find online, but I can't find a website or parts store that carries the hose/tube assembly that runs from the side of my CAI to the PCV valve. I've seen them for v8s of similar year but...

Nope not stock, I've seen stock ones on eBay and the pipes curve differently. They do kinda match the stock exhaust in the dirt factor though :rlaugh:...and no, they're standard length. Thanks for the suggestion!

Just taking years of dirt off, not exactly looking to polish them or anything yet... I just want to get whatever collects on the outside of the pipes off so they look a little better and maybe I can tell what company made them. There's probably a bit of sand as well, the car has been in South FL...

I'm pretty new to knowing my way around my own Stang and DIY-ing, but I did discover a while ago that a previous owner (I bought my car used in July 07) had put headers on the car. They're very dirty and I can't even tell you what brand they are or what material/coating they're made of, but I do...
