    Chip, tuner... 1998...?

    I own an automatic 1998 Mustang GT with a PI intake manifold and 3.73 gears. This weekend I plan on purchasing an Off-road Bassani X-pipe (stainless), weld in 40 series Flowmasters and some type of hand held tuner. My main question is this, what tuners will fit my car and will they correct...

    Cylinder 6 misfire.

    1998 Mustang GT, automatic, approx. 75k miles. Only modifications are 3.73’s, and a PI intake manifold. When I had the intake manifold put on I forgot to specify that I wanted copper plugs so the mechanic put on some platinum plugs with new wires, which was around 5,000 miles ago. Anyways, about...

    Mid-pipe question(s).

    Getting a new mid-pipe on my pretty much stock 98 auto mustang gt (pi intake, gears). I've been told the Dr. Gas X pipe was the best midpipe no questions asked. Any objections? If so why? Can someone show me a link of the Dr. Gas X pipe that will fit my 98 GT please, I have stock...

    Common Problems?

    I currently own a 4.6 98 Mustang GT. And i'm flat ass fed up with it and the entire 4.6 platform. To much money to make them go fast, and before they go fast they need to move and my car is constantly in the shop with problems. from what i can see the mods for the 5.0 302 thats in the 94-95...

    Not impressed with new PI part.

    Yes, the mechanic said he had to put high temp RTV around the front right coolant passage. Also the mechanic had to use a modified alternator bracket as well, that came with the package. Okay so, I need to go with 5w-20 (I’m in Florida, not much temp difference year round here), get the K&N...

    Not impressed with new PI part.

    This is the intake manifold I bought, I talked to the seller on the phone and everything. He said it was PI intake and he put it in his car and ****. Seemed like an honest good guy. I dunno, you tell me...

    Not impressed with new PI part.

    As some of you may know, I have had an automatic 98 GT with a cracked intake manifold for quite some time. Well after alot of debate and research I finally gave up on fixing the damn thing and just bought a new hybrid (part metal part plastic) PI intake manifold. And from everyone, all I heard...

    Mustang recall, does mine apply?

    Yes but the argument is that they know about it and won’t take responsibility. The same intake manifold has been recalled in the Crown Victoria, Cougar and several other vehicles. They just don’t want to claim its there fault, but in fact it is, which makes them money grubbing bastards. And who...

    Mustang recall, does mine apply?

    I’m no Einstein but they guarantee it for 7 years, 2004 – 1998 = 6. I could be wrong? If I thought that I did something to create this crack I would eat the cost myself but since there’s proof it’s a Ford defect, I expect them to pay for it. How should I go about this when I call the dealership…...

    Mustang recall, does mine apply?

    I own an automatic 1998 Mustang GT (VIN#: 1FAFP42X3WF183056) with a cracked intake manifold at what I would describe as a cross-over piece, where coolant seeps. At the website http://www.alldata.com/TSB/19/981949C9.html I found this, “02-2-2 FEB 02 Intake Manifold - Cross-Over...

    So many problems, so litttle money. HELP!

    PLEASE HELP! I’m getting so fed up with this car it’s unbelievable. I bought an automatic 1998 Mustang GT, with 69, 756 miles, immaculate tan leather interior and only one small blemish in the front left quarter panel. Mechanically when I bought the car I didn’t see any problems, but within...

    98 GT, Intake manifold.

    I own a completely stock automatic 1998 Mustang GT. My car was pouring out radiator fluid and water where the (radiator hose?) meets the intake manifold. So I suspected it was a bad thermostat gasket. So I went out and bought one and when I unbolted the piece from the intake manifold I could see...
