1999 Ford Mustang Engine

WHEN THE CONSUMER STARTED HIS VEHILE IN VEHICLE IN THE MORNING IT WAS VERY LOUD FOR ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES. HE ALSO STATED THAT WHEN HE MADE A RIGHT TURN THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS THE MANIFOLD HEATER VALVE. *NLM

1999 FORD MUSTANG GT- AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ENGINE STALLS INSTEAD OF IDLING WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED, COMES TO REST OR DURING LOW SPEED MANEUVERS. *NLM

CAR STALLS WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP AND HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. TOOK THE CAR TO FORD AND CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND REFLASHED THE COMPUTER. THE PROBLEM CAME BACK SEVERAL DAYS LATER AND CHANGED THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE YET THE PROBLEM STILL ARISES. WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP THE RPM DROP TO 500 RPM AND THEN BOUNCED BACK UP TO AN IDLE AT 700 RPM. OTHER TIMES THAT IT WILL DROP BELOW 500 RPM, AND THE CAR STARTS TO STALL. *LA

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. ENGINES IDLES ROUGH AND STALES AT ABOUT 1500 RPM'S. IF YOU TURN ON THE HEATER OR AC. THE PROBLEM GETS WORSE. I SCANNED THE CAR AND GOT A MISFIRE CODE AND AN EGR CODE. REPLACED ALL IGNITION PARTS AND ALL EMISSION PARTS AND THE CODE AND PROBLEM WON'T GO AWAY. HELP PLEASE. ANY INFO CAN BE SENT TO [email protected] THANKS

CAR STALLS WHEN STARTING ON A COLD ENGINE REGARDLESS OF OUTSIDE TEMP. SOMETHING STICKS UNDER HOOD. IF YOU HOLD YOUR FOOT ON ACCELERATOR, IT WILL STAY RUNNING BUT WILL ABRUPTLY DIE WHEN LET OFF PEDAL. EVEN IF YOU START DRIVING, IT CAN STILL STICK, CAUSING ENGINE SHUTOFF WHILE MOVING RESULTING IN LOSS OF P. STEERING, BRAKES, ETC., HAS BEEN IN UNDER WARRANTY ONCE, WAS NOT FIXED. DOES THIS ON ABOUT 1 OUT OF 10 COLD STARTS RANDOMLY. HAVE HEARD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM OTHER MUSTANG OWNERS. NEEDS TO BE A RECALL !*AK

VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT WHILE DRIVING, DEALER DETERMINED HEADGASKET WAS BLOWN AND REAR SEAL OF ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED.*AK

THE PULLEY SLIDES ON TO AN ALUMINUM SLEEVE THAT IS PART OF THE FRONT PLATE ON THE ENGINE. I WAS DOING A ROUTINE INSPECTION WHEN I NOTICED THE PULLEY SLIGHTLY TILTED. I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BELT AND WAS ABLE TO PULL THE PULLEY, BOLT THAT GOES INTO THE PLATE TO HOLD THE PULLEY ON, AND THE METAL SLEEVE THAT WAS BROKEN OFF OF THE FRONT ENGINE PLATE. IF THIS PULLEY WOULD HAVE CAME OFF, THE BELT WOULD HAVE BEEN INSTANTLY FRAYED BY AN ADJACENT ENGINE COMPONENT RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY POWER STEERING. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO REPORTS, RECALLS, OR FACTORY DEFECTS. I APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE IN LETTING ME KNOW IF THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT OR JUST SHODDY WORKMANSHIP IN MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE. MY HOME NUMBER IS 011-49-6333-980903. I LIVE IN GERMANY. THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU PROVIDE. *AK

THE DOCKS IN THIS ENGINE SET UP A HARMONIC VIBRATION BETWEEN 1800-2300RPM. FORD HAS DETERMINED THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION FOR "SOME" OF THESE ENGINES. TO THE UNSUSPECTING BUYER OF THIS AUTOMOBILE HE/SHE WILL HAVE TO ENDURE A MELODIC, APPROX EVERY SECOND, VIBRATION THAT IS TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE CAR. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON VARIOUS BULLETIN BOARDS THIS PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT TO FORD'S ATTENTION PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE BUT THEY STILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE THE AUTOMOBILE AND NOW HAVE CONCLUDED THIS IS NORMAL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OFF. SINCERELY, BILL CHASE. *AK
