I agree, 99% of the time it will be the Plastic Crossover if you still have it. Amazingly, my 96 GT still has the original plastic crossover, im simply waiting for it to break anyway now to warrant doing a PI swap

Happened to my old 96 GT the same exact way. It was the intake manifold. At the time it happened, it was still under warranty. However, the same thing happened on my 03 GT several months ago, had to replace the manifold.

Wrong. You get a NPI intake with aluminum crossover. And since he has a '96 GT, he's SOL and has to pay for it out of pocket. That recall was only for 7 years on '96 Mustangs.
