Hi guys so I've got a funky one thats got me and my more knowledgable mustang friends completely stumped So my buddy joe has a 2002 Mustang GT 5 speed with the 4.6L GT. Well, he spun a bearing on the bottom end and picked up a grand marquis engine (supposedly out of an 04) and couldn't figure...

Hi all- I need a little guidance trying to figure out why in the heck my cooling fan won't kick on. I've searched high and low across the internet and got a couple of possibilities that might work. In the process of the internet search, I stumbled across this website/forum. Everyone here seems...

I've had my mustang for about 5 years now and I have been through at least 5 radiators in that time, but I recently did a engine swap from a 289 to a 302. While the new motor was put in I also upgraded to a Aluminum radiator with a Electric fan. (I believe the Radiator is two row.) The new...

I have a 97 GT and I got on it a little bit the other day and looked down to realize the temp guage was pretty high, i let it cool down immediately but haven't been able to find the cause. The fan kicks on almost as soon as it warms up but I have started it without the cap and I do not see any...

Hello fellow AllFordMustangers! I have a ford 302 engine that refuses to cool down. Over the past 9 months I have tried pretty much everything, except for replacing the engine, but still no luck. Hopefully, someone can come up with some new thoughts before I just pull the engine apart...

On a hot summer day I was driving my 1990 Mustang 2.3 liter and didn't realize it was puking coolant all over the place. Little did I know I had a failed water pump, bad radiator, and my overflow jug was split in two, I had purchased the car about 3 months before this happened so I hadn't gotten...

i own a 1988 gt and for some reason the engine likes to heat up very quickly while running down the street but once i get to a stop light it cools back down. the radiator fluid was just replaced last night and i dont think there are any leaks. any advice? possibly a bad thermostat or senser?

I've recently bought a 2001 Ford Mustang, but I haven't been able to get it working properly the entire time I've had it. Before, it would run for about twenty minutes tops, probably even less, before it would overheat and completely die. It wouldn't start again until it cooled down. We replaced...

Hi All, I just wanted to say I love my Mustang and I'm saddened by the fact that my first post here is about an issue with it. So today my car started idling really bad as it goes between around 600-1500 RPM and it shakes really badly the entire time. Driving at speed seems to be fine it's just...

The other day the bottom radiator hose ruptured so I replaced it and only filled it with water since I couldn't afford coolant at the time. The next day around 4pm I noticed that the temp gauge started to rise past the 2/3's. I waited until it hit the A in "normal" before I decided enough was...

My GT is having problems with the temperature... if its cold outside I can drive the car for 30 miles and it will warm up before but when I get there with my heater on the temp gauge shows it is cold. But if its warm outside and the A/C is on and it sits and idles it will try to overheat. I...

Hi I am Ben from Germany living in Dubai and I am driving a 1966 Mustang 289. I have a big problem. Whenever I drive the car its fine but when I stop it takes 1 minute and then water is coming out of the radiator cap and its boiling. Its get in general far to hot in my opinion. I have the...
