Default Running Amazing.

Hey guys just wanted to give you guys a little update on my car.

I have a 1991 mustang gt, basically stock, but very well maintained.
Recently I have had a new starter, water pump, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, fuel injection cleaning, o2 sensors, egr valve, iac cleaned, maf cleaned, and a new tfi module, oil+oil filter change, power steering fluid+sludge added, radatior flush, brake fluid, etc. Anyways, with all of this added almost all of my problems are solved with my car. The only 2 problems I now have are 1 to do with power steering, i believe the pump is dieing, its hard to turn if im not accelerating. And my cd player is screwed up.

Anywho, just a little suggestion to anyone who has a mustang, MAINTAIN IT!!

edit: a lot of you might be wondering "why is he posting about adding brake fluid, this and that etc" and its just for the simple fact that these little minor fluid changes / refilling can solve problems. I had my parking brake light stuck on, refilled my brake fluid and it fixed it, i was having an overheating problem / if im idling my heat didnt work which the antifreeze solved, etc.

edit: also as an update, im getting AMAZING gas milage. Driving EXTREMELY HARD almost non stop on her i got 260miles to the tank. I averaged slightly over 500 between 2 tanks. And yea, thats driving hard on an auto. However i did have a day where i couldnt pull over 2k due to snow lol.

A Canadian 92 GT lol

Speaking of Cobra's. I seen my first 93 Cobra on the street today. I was at the gas station and I seen a black 5.0 but all I could see were the doors because it was hiding in between the pumps. Then he started it and pulled away, OMG!!! 93 Cobra, all stock (stock hood, rims, etc.) black w/ blacked out windows... I wanted to break down and cry it was so beautiful! It changed my life...... lol

You should request a name change and you can still keep all your posts, information, etc.
