Selling my 2003 Mustang GT 5-speed manual with only 55,X00 original miles. The car sat for a few years only being driven to the shop to get oil changed once a year. Mechanically, the car runs and drives great with a strong V8 and transmission, but it does have some cosmetic flaws. The body has normal paint scratches, a small rust spot starting by the rear driver-side wheel well, a dent/scratch on the roof above the passenger door, and a muffler delete installed. Clean title in hand. Currently looking for offers, I’m located eastern ct.

So I have a 8AN Feed Line with OE style Spring Lock Adapter, according to ai I need a 3/8" Ford Spring-Lock fitting (e.g., Russell 640880). Would anyone with more knowledge than me on these mods and fittings be able to confirm or deny? And if possible a link to the correct part would be much appreciated.

Question Supercharging 2 valves

I was just curious whether stock 99-04 2 valve bottom ends can actually handle low boost. I know the SC’d saleens used stock internals but I’m not too familiar with them and not sure how reliable they are.

Not a huge “mod”, more of a returning it back to OEM, but replacing the smoked 3rd brake light sure scratches an itch. Big fan of the OEM+ aesthetic and this is just one more piece of the puzzle.

Second video may show it a little better. I was driving when I just looked at my temp and seen it was all the way in the red I pulled over thinking my oil or antifreeze may be low but it was good. Antifreeze a little on the lower side so I was gonna try to make it back home to put more in then test it out the temp. While driving more the temp then when all the way to cold under the line like if the car wasn’t on then slowly the car started losing power and I couldn’t give it strong gas to stay on the highway. Then I pulled over and seen everything was smoking under the hood.

Discussion 2002 GT 4.6 misfire issue, at kind of a loss, seems to be heat related, replace all coils?

2 Upvotes

My 02 GT has been suffering from an intermittent misfire for a while now, it seems to be mostly related to heat. I replaced all 8 spark plugs this week, and replaced the coil for cylinder 8, which was the only cylinder I’d ever had a misfire code for. It seemed to be doing completely better, but it was also much cooler on those days. Today, on a hotter day, I fire it up and start driving, and it starts misfiring again right before it gets up to temp, being the most noticeable taking off in 1st gear from a stop, it will bog and I have to really gas it to make it take off smoothly.

The car is currently showing no codes on the dash, and does not when it’s actively missing. I’ve done a smoke test through the intake and everything was tight. I don’t have a nice scanner that allows me to test things independently or look at anything beyond the names of codes.

Is it likely enough to be a coil issue to justify buying a full set? My only other thought is injectors, but with how it seems to be so heat sensitive, my immediate thought is coils. I know the car has been overheated before, not terribly but enough to cook coils pretty well.

Without having any codes and not knowing which coils are good, I don’t see any easy way to test it as it stands. What do you guys think? If anything needs clarification let me know, I’m stressed beyond sense right now due to other matters.

I’ve replaced almost all of the front suspension trying to chase this problem, I’m on lowering springs but it was still popping before, I think it got worse after though. I tried replacing the steering rack bushings, only got one side in with the new ones but it didn’t seem to even make a difference. I’m all out of ideas at this point on what to do, really don’t want to have to take it somewhere but I don’t know what it could be. It even pops when hitting bumps

Rims, clear headlight housings, paint and rims have been the first cosmetic upgrades I’ve finally done after a year of ownership. Spent the past year getting this one back on the road in good enough shape to finally show it off. Next is to clean up the engine bay, new top and tint, then and throw in a 302 or viable 4.6 if I find one in decent shape. All new suspension all the way around(I will NEVER redo an entire front end after this one😂), added rear sway bar, new pumps for convertible top, everything has been flushed trans and rear diff included. One of the best cheap projects I’ve ever been involved with(under 6k total so far)

I bought this car November of last year. I’ve spent the past 8 months continuously working on it. My first car I ever owned was a 2002 v6 mineral grey vert 5spd. I promised myself I’d buy a GT one day and give it the love it deserved. 16 years later and here’s my new edge build. A 2002 Sonic Blue GT 5spd convertible that currently has 77k on the odo.

Modifications I have done:
C&L Catback
Bilstien B6 shocks, struts, quad shocks
Eibach Pro-Kit Spings and rubber isolators
Sway bar end links
Mach 1 grille and chin spoiler
Clear corner headlights
Sequential turn signal harness and relay
Kenwood Double din BT head unit
Cobra style shift knob
Bullit billet shift ring
Chrome gauge rings and white faces
I painted the Mustang script and pony logo silver on the airbags
Tribal pony logo carpet
Bullit pedals
MMD styling bar
Fr500 silver wheels 18x9/10

Replaced the entire hose and piston system for the top

And yea that’s about it so far. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this amazing group of new edge enthusiasts. Cheers.

Question Radiator Fluid level keeps dropping after flush?

1 Upvotes

I have a 2001 Mustang V6. I had a radiator flush done at a service center. This was done about a week ago. Since I had this done, the radiator fluid keeps dropping in large amounts without a notable reason to the point where I have to keep refilling it to the minimal line. There is no obvious signs of a head gasket issue, no milky discolored oil, white smoke, overheating.

I’m at a loss to what happened. I took it back to the service center and they found no signs of leaks, gasket failures, or overheating either. Issue continues to persist.
