I've also had this happen to me just after I bought my 2002 GT (~2003). I braked coming up to an intersection and the car just died. Hasn't done it since. Riley

+1.. I almost didn't get my motor back.. I was one of the last guys to get theirs back. There were two companies, VT Engines (Jim and Scott Cushman who were salesmen) and VT Competition Engine Development (The shop in Lansing, MI.). Went to pick it up and was told I couldn't have it because VT...

Quick question: Does the blower actually stop blowing? Or does it change from coming out of the dash vents to the floor vents? I ask because that is controlled by vacuum.. Riley

Sorry, I misread. It's definitely not normal that the blower quits. The A/C compressor will though during WOT and lugging. Riley

Exactly.. I'm pretty sure it will also go off when the car is in "lugging mode". Riley

Like said above, PATS can be disabled with a tuner. However, the Theft light will flash constantly every time you start the car. Locksmiths can CLONE your existing key onto a new blank. That key will be an exact copy of your old key and will work exactly like that original key. However, it...

It needs to be cut where it bends over the axle and pipe put in there to space the pipe further from the axle. Riley

I know for a fact the following DO fit: - Pypes catback - Dynomax tailpipes The following DO NOT fit - Magnaflow catback I've gone through all these. The Magnaflow tailpipes are just like MM says, they come over the rear axle too closely and don't have enough to get around the...

I used the 3M kit on my 2002 GT and I had mixed results. It's hard to get right to the edges and mine also had some good sized marks from rocks, etc. I ended up just buying brand new ones from late modem restoration for ~$130 (for both). They come with new headlight and turn signal bulbs too...

The only thing "paired" to the PCM is the electronic odometer. Either that needs to be swapped or you need to disable PATS in the tune. When PATS is disabled, the THEFT light will flash for the first 5 minutes each time you start the car. Some clusters/gauges are NOT a direct swap. For...

If you disable PATS, the car gets stolen, and the insurance company finds out you disabled your anti-theft.... No more insurance.. Your premium you pay is based on the features your car has. ABS, Air bags, PATS, etc. Since you no longer have some of those features the insurance company can...

That was me.. Here are some pics.. Also, I spoke to TrickFlow about the crappy Oil filler design. They told me they changed it up and gave me a new set of oil plugs for free. The new set is MUCH better and I no longer consider it an issue. The old ones were always leaking oil onto my headers...

I've had great luck with the NGK Iridium plugs. I found they smoothed out the car - especially at idle. A lot of the Cobra guys have the same experience. When I was N/A I ran the TR55IX and now that I'm blown I run TR7IX. I tried the BR7EFS and my car didn't like them at all. It ran rough...

I installed the MM PHB in my 2002 GT in a full day with the car on jackstands. It's not too difficult if you follow the instructions carefully. Make sure you have some good sharp drill bits. According to MM the PHB should fit with any aftermarket exhaust that follows the stock tailpipe...

I had alternator whine in my 2002 GT after I changed out the Mach 460 system with a Clarion head unit. It wasn't too loud so I lived with it for awhile. I only really heard it over 3,000 rpm. After I did the "big 3" upgrade the whine was gone. The big 3 upgrade entails: - Upgraded battery...

The Summit TrickFlow kit is all OEM ford components except for the cam spacers. They include the TrickFlow keyed ones (for turning the cams in the head) ones and the OEM smooth ones. You also get a one piece and two piece crank sprocket. You also get OEM metal tensioners.. I would get this kit...

Going from your link you have it would seem to be that it takes 116 turns for the chains to line up again and you proved it with cold hard math. However, when I did my first set of cams I know I rotated the motor until they lined up again and I'm pretty sure it took much less than 116 time...

Well, if one does look different (compressed more) then it is most likely bad. If you get that lobe so that the base circle of the cam is on the follower can you push the lash adjuster up and down? It should be solid. The links will NOT line up every time. If you start with the links lined up...

Pull each of your coil packs on the driver's side. I'm willing to bet there is coolant in the spark plug holes. Happened to me as well. If you spill a bit of coolant when refilling at the thermostat then it goes into the spark plug hole. Riley

Detonation.. Compression check/leakdown test and if possible try and find a bore-scope and see if you broke any ring lands.. Riley
