As for the surging, if you replaced the faulty COP's and changed the spark plugs and gave it a tune up, idk what else it could be. If no codes are being thrown, maybe try cleaning out the MAF? IDK man. I hope you get it fixed.
yeah i heard its pretty common too. i guess i could try the MAF.

and it only grinds sometimes.. not all the time. thanks bro.

why would you hate driving it now?? idk.. i guess i could see myself getting a little tired of it. but i am a fairly new driver so i still have allot of youth in me :P i always here how old-er guys are like damn, i remember the feeling i had back when i was 16...

i guess i should live up these days. lol i'll savor the good times for you man..

yeah, people look at me like a retard when i do it.. kinda like "that kid dosnt know how to drive a stick" i mean i guess they're right in a way because im not that good at stick (i can still bang the gears, but hey everyone can do that :P) At least i know the concept of manual and where to keep your RPMS to get power and just to cruise. i grew up on dirtbikes so i picked up stick pretty quick because i've always ridden bikes with a clutch.

I LOVE driving my car more than I did the day I purchased it over 4 years ago!

Jazzer
haha jazzer i love you. (no homo) boy do i love the twisties now.. (once again, no homo)

so much fun. i still like the straight aways though.

and btw jazzer, if i ever decide to spend some money on suspension mods, i know for a fact who im going to

When I got my 02 it did the same thing kinda and then when i had the motor and tranny replaced with units with 28k miles on them...went away. Try doing rear gears and cleaning the maf and do the fuel filter while youre at it. Also if its throwing a lean code, could need a new o2 sensor and might as well get a wideband while you need to replace. All just food for thought my friend. Glad youre back to driving it after a while.
whats up teej?

you kind of have em lost with the whole drivetrain slack.. if someone could explain that in depth a little more that would be great (still learning allot lol).

I think it might be the oil filter, im deff gonna try to get a new one soon and see if thats the issue. how much do they run? yeah im not sure about that o2 sensor. if it throws another code i always have my code reader, so ill just read it and see what it says and report back lol.
i should prob change the oil soon too.. hmm, i kinda wanna do all the fluids in the car actually. tranny and everything.

' Jazzer ' your mustang looks really bad **** man.
oh hell yeah on that one man. i love wipping through the corners and slamming the gas coming out. haha

and yeah, im pretty sure my Trannys a T-45. its a 99.

The grind is an easy fix...stop the car drop it in 4th then right over to reverse...no more grind

Not just crappy leather but the head rest isn't right when u lean ur head back ur damn near looking at the roof. The seats barley recline and they hold u in about as good as a bench seat.
I wish I could get cobra seats but too much $ I'll deal in the mean time

Ehh Im thinking about just swapping over a Corbeau seat to the driver side, Black leather to match the rest of the seating. I couldn't care less how comfortable the passengers are ...
