Default It started!

Finally after over 2 days of not starting the mustang finally started! Put in a new dizzy and control module. We couldn't get it started not matter what we did. Well finally went and bought a new coil. After a jump and a few tries it finally started. Now it is on the charger because we can't get it started.

DSII dizzy swap is a PITA!!

Hell yeah. I remember how big a deal it was to drive to school vs bus. Of course, I was driving a 1991 Ford Tempo, so I bet it is a HELL of a lot harder for you to go back to the bus.

BTW, my Tempo had a pin stripe, top that bitch.

I have like a 5 tone paint job. 3 different reds and 2 different blacks. Hopefully by end of summer it will be a two tone only.

As quickly as it started it died. Burned up my 3rd coil in 3-4 months today and made me late to school.. So my mom, dad, and I agree it is time for the mustang to go. I will be putting it up for sale soon. I plan on buying a newer style mustang. Dad said 95 and up will work for him. So if all goes as planned, dad will be getting a new truck, I will get his old 4Runner, and the mustang will be up for sale. Then once the mustang is sold I will buy another car and then we will sell the 4Runner. Decision is final, it is going up for sale no matter what.
