Hello all,
Just joined and already need help. I will soon be acquiring a 'Stang from my brother. It's an '85 GT 'vert. 5spd. The problem he is having has stumped him so he is passing it on to me. The car runs great some times and dies others. He says it's as if it stopped getting fuel. After it sits a few minutes it will start again and go for a few miles and it dies again. Dies, stop for a few and goes again. He has a new carb, fuel pump, and re-ran the fuel lines. What should I look for first? What kind of computer stuff is on this year(if any)and could it be the problem. I do have an '85 H.O. 351 I could drop into it, but then I'd have to find another engine for the Falcon when It's finished next spring. If I did go the 351 route what would be required for the swap. I would like to retain the 5 spd (Falcon has a C-4). Thanks for letting me ramble and for any advice.
