$350 wasted on two upper intake manifolds, $100 on various gaskets, $150 on an alternator, $180 on a battery, $125 on new injectors, $98 on plugs, $80 on coil packs, $70 on hoses, $55 on wire harness and connectors, $500+ on various genius mechanics who "knew how to fix it", and a month later...

Thank you for the response. Idles nice and smooth. Floods out once it warms up then will not restart. Ran start system tests as related and all in spec. This is not, seemingly, electrical. We monitored all above described and thing out of spec with the exception of the MAF which was a bit...

UPDATE: Before I even have time to test the things described by wmburns above, the root issue raises it's nasty head. Have been driving the vehicle for a few days now using the start bypass switch I wired into the white / pink wire running to the starter solenoid. No troubles. Today I was...

Oh my no. The comments above are the best information received to date on this issue. I am not ignoring input in the least. The is good stuff and I greatly appreciate it. Understand, I need an operable vehicle. Seriously, I'm not a bone head here. I am just a guy making decisions based on...

The "sometimes start" issue was determined to be a starter. Using a remote start the replacement starter turns the engine over and it runs fine. I added a 50A momentary contact switch to the dash (marine use switch). I can now start the car (being cautious it is in P) and it drives A-OK. One...

A few developments since first post. The starter was determined to be by shorting it to start. I had starter spin but no engage. I replaced the starter. The no crank problem persisted. It will not turn over using the ignition key. I took the following actions: Replaced the starter relay >> No...

I've run a '00 Mustang GT 4.6 convertible since driving it off of the showroom floor with 33 miles. A few years back I discovered the hard way that not all transmission service joints can be trusted. During a rather routine pan drop, filter swap and fluid top the idiots not only didn't use...

Appreciate the feedback guys. Will follow up to let you know how it went. This afternoon is rear shocks, which I have experience at. Still waiting on one more front strut to arive. Hopefully will arrive today, but who knows with FedX out where I live. Thanks again! Dave

Hello Stangnetters, I've lurked here for a very long time but it has been decades since I used a wrench on anything long of a simple home repair. Retired, I decided to again work on my vehicles, one of which is a 2000 GT Convertible (104K miles). I have been through YouTube videos, how to...
