So I bought another mustang as a project... it's a 1999 v6 5-speed ford mustang. The car will crank but won't start. Also the fuel pump doesn't kick on. Theft light is flashing, and the pcm is not wanting to communicate to a snap on tablet. I first began to replace the fuel pump and filter, and...

Hello, I got lucky and received a 1993 (Crown Vic maybe) 4.6 motor that has never been run in it's life and never taken apart either, all the parts are still torqued down and without a trace of wear on the inside. The motor has no Vin or any information about it besides the number on the side of...

HELLO ALL! so It is my aspiration to take on a project because I like building things. I have a 1994 3.8L supercoupe engine that I would like to swap into a 2000 3.8L mustang! But I need help! What are things I need to know? Any weird parts that wont fit/will have to be custom made? Any and all...

Hey guys i have a few questions i am very lost on. To start the vehicle is a 1988 ford mustang gt. I rebuilt the motor about 4 months ago. Its bored over .30 with aluminium heads, cam, intake. the whole 9 yards just not boosted. I had some issues with compression and pulled the heads off turns...

I was hoping someone may have experience in this. All the wires are in the right place except for the clutch wire (yellow) it says it’s connects to a yellow wire with a purple stripe on the top ECU harness. I cannot find this wire, I was thinking possibly they have changed the wire...

Hey everyone, just bought back my first car. It’s a 2004 mustang 3.8 5speed. The owner I sold it to just rebuilt the transmission back in June and just swapped in a new motor w 80k miles last week. The car has a few strange issues though, the first was a random misfire on startup (first 1000...

Ok guys I have a lengthy question/issue. So I rebuilt my motor about 4K miles ago. Fresh bore, hone, pistons and rings.. the whole nine yards. I noticed it was lacking power so I did some compression checks. I only did 3 cylinders and they were all relatively low numbers between 65-100 to be...

I cleared my codes which I will have attached hoping they mean nothing but they came back and I don’t know what to do! The injectors are clicking so I assumed they were good now I can’t get a smog done.

I've been having surging issues for a couple of months now. I replaced my IAC and checked for vacume leaks and tested my TPS. The surge is only slight. Maybe 25-50 rpm when its warm and on a real cold start it surges quite a bit for about a minute before smoothing out. I've done a reset and I've...

Hello all, Lend me your ear and I’ll tell you a story... or skip to my question. In 2010 my father and I came across a 95 mustang owned by some ‘strange’ folks. The type that would hide when someone knocked at the door, the kind that wouldn’t answer their phones for weeks to months at a time...

Hey guys, nice to meetcha. Everyone who helps or tries to has my deep appreciation haha. I just recently got a neglected 2000 Ford mustang. And I've been restoring it a bit and replacing all sorts of things. Unfortunately it was ghetto rigged so I've been working around that. However it's been...

04 gt, just replaced my belt and idle pulley, I dont know what I did, but the belt tensioner is rubbing on the timing cover, my belt routing looks good, my idle pulley looks fine, I think from pulling the tensioner and it being OEM it might just be worn, I adjusted everything and it doesn't run...

2004 gt, factory intake manifold, this bolt hole behind the throttle body towards the passenger side, goes into the plastic manifold, what's it for? Just wondering if somethings supposed to go there. (In the photo it's the hole with the brass sleeve there, between the TB spring and cable)

All I’m getting is a single click when trying to start up my fox. I’ve checked the battery it’s good and I’ve replaced the ign switch as it was getting loose. This is my daily and it happened minutes after it was cranking perfectly fine. Below a video that shows me testing at the solenoid. Goes...

I don't know too much about cars but I recently bought a 1969 mustang and I decided to rewire using American auto wire (AAW) and I finally finished and ready to start the car, when I put the key into the on position the car immediately tried starting without me turning the key, it also made this...

So, I am acquiring some GT40 heads from a buddy of mine. They have port work, bowl work, o-rings, decked .060 and have the correction cut on the intake side. I'm looking to see if I just use a standard 9333pt1 head gasket with o-ringed heads and if having GT40 heads milled .060 will I run into...

Hey Guys, I am havin a NIGHTMARE with my f***ing car. I had the manifold break and i didn't want to install another :poo: plastic one so i bought this one. Now i am popping codes P0171 and P0174, lean system. Yes, i know there are sensor possibilities, injector issues, and what not, but before i...

I've got a automatic 2004 gt, the transmission shifts fine, not particularly smooth, but acceptable. After braking hard without stopping like entering a corner, the transmission let's go like it's in neutral and wont re-engage for a second or two, it will just rev up freely and then snap back...

I come from fox bodies, so I'm new to the 4.6. I'm wondering if my 04 has the upgraded manifold? Under load on the freeway it gets a little bit of shaking like its motor mounts, but it seems solid at idle, any ideas what it could be? Heres some photos of my manifold. Thanks

Totaled (according to insurance) mustang in a crash Monday.. Please just help me with advice because I don't know where to start
