Horay!!!! My Mustang is Fixed!!!!
So, for about a month or so , my car has been missing. The first few times it happened, it was on the number 6 cylinder, so i went ahead and changed all the spark plugs. the problem persisted so i changed the coil pack. Well it got better for a few weeks, but two days ago my car just started running like sh** and i was really getting worried. There was anti-freeze all over my spark plugs, so i thought that it might be the head gasket. well i was fixing to spend some major money on a full diagnosic when i was looking around and noticed my intake manifold was severely cracked where the radiator hose connected to it. Come to find out that the anti-freeze was spilling out and going into my number five and six cylinders. I bought a new intake manifold today and put it on, changed all the plugs, and all the coil pack boots!!! I was so so glad it wasn't something worse.

yeah you are lucky it wasn't a head gasket.... my old car had a head gasket blow and it smoked like a mother... it was kinda cool to see all of the white smoke come out the exhaust but it wasn't too funny when i got the 1,500.oo bill...
