Went for a chill drive 15ish minutes and came back to a bubbling noise. I topped up the coolant since it looked low could it just be an air pocket? Still learning this car out just rebuilt it after buying it crashed. The temp guage seems stuck on C so hoping it didn’t overheat
I’ve seen a ton of different answers while researching what oil weight to use for my 95 Mustang GT 5.0. Factory says 10w-30. I ordered 5w-20 because I saw something about a service bulletin from 2002(?) about. ford updating the spec. I’ve only put about 1,000 miles on it in the year I’ve had it, not a daily driver just looking for opinions or suggestions.
I recently took ownership of my fathers 1998 cobra as he is too old to drive the car now. It makes 550 to the rear wheels with a blower and aftermarket heads and internals. I am slowly bringing the car back to life and learning that in the early 2000’s my dad just put pretty much anything you could on the car.
The car has a MM Panhard bar in the rear but also has aftermarket control arms and sway bar, which the install guide says specifically not to do. It’s currently fouling the rear end on hard launches and who knows what else.
My question is, for spirited canyon driving and maybe an autocross event at some point, would you go back to stock control arms, or remove the Panhard bar? Picture of the car for attention
I’m sure it’s here somewhere, I’m either lazy and didn’t look deep enough or it really hasn’t been a topic. What is needed to boost the 98 4.6? I’m boosting a Miata with a friend and he only needs injectors, ecu, the exhaust/intake turbo assembly, air piping, oil hoses, blow off, intercooler, oil cooler, and the brackets to hold it all. He’s sure he doesn’t need internals to keep up with the new power. Is that the same case for my SOHC 2v 4.6. Pic is for attention
not sure wtf happened but I’m worried bout it :/
Hey fellow sn95 owners!
I just bought an svt cobra from 1996, this is my first American v8 and my first ever “powerful” car. I was wondering about the things that could need replacement or parts that are genuinely good to have as spares. I live in Europe so it is usually a bit harder to get parts for older American cars, thats why i think it would be a good idea to keep some stuff for a quick change if anything goes bad. I accept any advice on replacement parts and if you have any good tips or tricks for owning a mustang please let me know.
I’m gonna be picking up a 98 GT soon that’s in near flawless condition. It’s not gonna be a daily so i’d like to have some fun with it, but with that being said i’m almost completely clueless on what to do and how to do it. I’m shooting for more power without molesting the car, but all the reading i’ve done is just saying a complete swap. So i’m wondering if that’s what i should do or just keep it simple. I’m very new to this it’s only my second car but it’ll be the first i’m really putting some money into, i’m only 17 fellas. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Got my 98 GT dyno tuned a while ago and it seems like ever since then it hasn’t idled right on cold starts. It fires right up but then the revs quickly drop right to 900-1000 rpms instead of idling high for a bit while the engine warms up. Is this an issue? Did my tuner do this on purpose? Or is it a coincidence and do I need to clean my idle air control valve?
Hey all, usually I wouldn't reach out for help but I think I just made a big no-no.
A few months ago I did a PI top swap on my car. Everything went well, except the AC system. Wouldn't work. Today I threw a set of gauges on, verified no pressure so I started adding refrigerant.
I was adding refrigerant, added too much and then heard a loud bang. Lucky me, I blew a line. What are the odds I need to replace a line vs. replacing the whole system? I know they're not egregiously expensive but I'd prefer to not replace everything unless I have to.
Look forward to hearing input! Also, if anyone has any tech manuals for repair & replacement, that would be awesome.
Anyone use the Corsa 13" resonators (PKM2001)? I "fabbed up" an exhaust on my Cobra with o/r Bassani X pipe (5 piece version where I can swap cats and race pipes) and Corsa Pro Series mufflers. Its loud AF in the garage, haven't taken it for a drive yet, waiting for good weather. But I'm thinking I may swap the race pipes for resonators to tone it down a bit. Anyone use these resonators on their SN before? How did the sound change?

took some photos of what’s going on now. It was lowered by previous owner 1.5”. Actaully handles pretty well but a little bit of a rough ride.

Picked up a set of OEM ‘97 cobra wheels for an absolute steal and couldnt be happier with the result!
1996 GT These parts of the fuel feed line that connect to the fuel rail have come loose and when I start the car they leak fuel how can I fix this or where can I find a replacement preferably new.
Hey guys, I have some issues with my 1995 Mustang GT and I'm wondering if any of you have any insight into what I'm experiencing. So first, about the car. Its been sitting since 2012 inside a shed and I bought it about a month ago. It has MSD distributor and off brand MSD coil, Trick Flow Track Heat intake, GT40 Heads (I can feel the 3 bars) MAC headers ( I dont know which ones or if there were various models, I just see the MAC logo stamped into them), 70mm BBK throttle body with some "cold air" intake on it, and a custom H pipe exhaust. Previous owner said it ran when parked.
I trailered it home and that weekend put a fuel pump in it and it fired right up. It had no coolant resivior so I threw one on. It had some garbagbe aftermarket fan setup that didnt work so I ripped that out, soldered the hacked wires, and put the original fan back in. It burst fuel lines like crazy so I bought braded ones and re-did the fuel rail lines. I cleaned the MAF and IAC but I havent touched the TPS. I replaced the spark plugs, cleaned the distributor cap and rotor, and made sure the wires we not obviously damaged.I've been chasing down damaged vacuum lines, but I havent got into the fender yet. I re checked the fuel pump today because I replaced the hose in take (dont worry, I got the proper hose type) and everything was good there.
I can kinda drive it a little but it will bog down when I engage the throttle and the problem seems to get worse when it warms up. It idles fine but if I poke the gas it hesitates and bogs down before it catches and sometimes will come down to idle and kind of die or bog down. I'm planning on replacing all of the components as I go, but I'm wondering if any of you have had similar experiences and insight as I diagnose this thing. I'm no mechanic. I love working on my cars but I don't pretend to know all that much. Any help is appreciated. I'm dying to get this thing on the road this spring/summer!
Thanks in advance!
Going to go look at this tonight. 95 GT, manual, 147k, sounds good in the video however it was hit and has a tagged/branded title. Seller is asking $2500. Any opinion on value? My gut says anything over $1800 is too much.
does anyone know where i can a find a gulde to install the interior roof light on my 97 gt?
hi there, I recently changed the throttlebody position sensor on my 1994 Mustang GT as the code was being thrown (122 i think). I replaced it and it ended up making the idle pretty high, at around 1.5 K and it also is throwing the 998 code which I believe means it’s in limp mode. I also believe when I’m in reverse neutral and drive that the RPMs are on there are also higher. Why would this happen? Any ideas? any information is appreciated.
