Default Overall help wit my new pony

ok i just picked up this 1996 gt red from my uncle and the looks are in great shape but the car sat for a while. i just had the clutch replaced and it sounds like a belt squeaking when the clutch is out but as soon as a little bit of pressure is put on it, it goes away. any advice? also the low oil light is on at least twice a day but my engine isnt running hot and i have max oil. And the last thing im stuck on is wen i give it gas about half way down it starts to bog and shake? could it just b my fule filter and injectors? im lost so if u guys could help me out id appreciate it thanx

Ok first off the squeeking like a belt..is your throw out bearing(part of the clutch assembly) the bog down can be alot of things, timing, spark plugs, fuel filter, injectors,..first replace your spark plugs and try a fuel system cleaner and see if that helps..the low oil light, well check the oil see if its low and if not i wouldnt worry about the light

Um to stop the squeek you gotta replace the throw out bearing and..did you put the wires on the right plug because if not then it will shake and run like sh*t..the only thing about the fuel filter is to try it because if it doesnt help the problem, it still probably needed replaced

well when the clutch was replaced did they replace the throw out bearing also, if not then you need it replaced to stop the squeek. the low oil light..check the oil with the car off and see if its low and if not then the sensor is shot. What does the low oil light look like?

if your oil is full then don't worry about the oil light. Mine does that ocasionally but when i shut the car off for awhile, it will go away. Just check your oil with the dipstick and add some if it gets low. Oh yea, i got a 96 Gt as well.
