It's a super solid car, especially for being up north its whole life. It doesn't have any of the usual 1G rust spots or anything! But yeah I agree, this color has always been one of my favorites. Think I'm just going to clean this one up and just make a reliable, clean driver out of it.Looks to be a nice clean survivor car, love this color on 1g’s.
Yeah, it's a N/A 4g with an auto trans. Plugs have about 15 minutes of run time on them collectively. I replaced them after the issue occurred. But you're right, probably wouldn't hurt to recheck them. Timing marks all line up as they should, which honestly surprised me. The belt on this car is due to be replaced, I figured it skipped a tooth or two with how it's running but it did not.I was going to say a boost leak, but looks like this is NA.
Re-check your spark plugs and see if any still look brand new. When you checked the mechanical timing, did you check both cam gears and the crank timing marks all align at the same time?
Do you have a way to check compression? Check all cylinders. I used to have a problem like that in a totally unrelated (not dsm i mean) car and it ended up being a blown head gasket. Good luck!Update:
So due to totaling my Cherokee after a kamikaze buck incident on the way home from a wedding back in October. I had been daily driving the talon off and on up until about a week ago. I had left it at our other location for work overnight, went to pick it up the following day, started up like normal, let it warm up for a couple of minutes, and eventually left to go grab lunch before returning to work. I didn't even make it a mile from the store and the car developed a sputter/misfire. It has done this in the past but normally clears right up and runs as it should. This time it didn't, it progressively got worse, but instead of sputtering, it just felt down on power and wouldn't go over about 20/25mph, and that was with an excessive amount of throttle input to get it to do even that. Doesn't have any codes, starts right up, idles okay, revs out, but it's extremely sluggish. I've been checking things here and there when I have time to mess with it. Tossed a fresh set of NGK's in it, checked the timing to make sure it didn't skip a tooth or something stupid, checked the ECU, and so far all is good. Car is running extremely rich as well. I'm wondering if maybe the CAS is having some issue or if maybe it's a fueling related problem. I will continue to diagnose the issue and will try to post an update once I get this resolved. If anyone may have anything useful to add or suggestions on things for me to check out, feel free to let me know. This one's a little odd and has me scratching my head.
Very slowlyDoes it free rev?
Here’s a better picture of my Mustang! I never was much of a Mustang fan until I drove a coyote car years ago. I picked this up about 3 years ago with 21,000 miles on it and I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever about it! It gets a ton of attention anytime I get it out and it’s an absolute blast to drive. Definitely one of my all time favorites for sure!I’m not savvy enough to help with this yet, but I love the Tennessee Blue 1GB with that gen Stang in the garage. Just saying..wink wink
Nice! Ours is a 2014 California Special. She’s got 19k and change on the ticker now.Here’s a better picture of my Mustang! I never was much of a Mustang fan until I drove a coyote car years ago.
