Default RE: how bad can this get

Sorry it wasnt the head gasket it was my intake manifold gasket and it was leaking into my spark splugs all i had to change was the intake manifold gasket i didnt have to buy a new intake, i've heard from other mustangs that the intake from 96 to 98 they have a tendency of leaking after 90 to 100k try changing the gaskets and the vibration is probably due to a cylinder misfire due to the coolant leaking into the spark plugs, because after running your car with water in the spark plug after a while your spark pluggaps tend to change. I also had to change the wires. hope this helps good luck man laterz

Yeah people tell me the vibration is cause from a misfire but shouldn't the check engine light come on? I'm going to check if theres coolant on the inside of the injector. Anyone know how to pull the injector out, or did i just answer my question lol.

Sounds like your car is missing. Pull the intake and put a new one off. Regap your sparkplugs to .52-.56. Also check for any vacum leaks.

ORIGINAL: Eduardo

I just checked the engine in my car, 97 gt, and i found a big coolant leak around the injector on cylinder #1. It has a little pool of coolant around it, and I was wondering if it can get into the intake from there, or mess around with the fuel thats getting shot in.
You might be able to get it (Intake) replaced for free as Ford has a known problem with these:

It's worth a try!

vibration could also be caused by a vacume leak if your manifold is leaking. i dont think is due to fouled plugs cause of water in the cylinders cause he said all plugs look good and dry.
