My mustang (99 gt, auto) started running funny about two days ago. Its seem to run fine in idle but when placed in gear it starts it starts to get a little shake and a significant power loss. I thought it my be the fuel filter but i replaced that today and no luck. Also when i put it in nuetral to rev up the engine it blows water out of the tailpipes, not alot, but more than just condensation. So if anyone can give me any hints it would be most appreciated.

check the coolant level in the radiator and look for bubbles in it with the engine running-it could be a blown head gasket causing this. also pull the oil dipstick and look for a milky condensate on it too, both are possible symptoms of a blown head gasket. I hope that isn't your problem, but it sound like it might be that.

 

DAMN IT ROUNDMAN!

You beat me to it!LOL

Yeah i bet you have a bad head gasket.If you have that milky looking crap for oil and you have ran it for any serious amount of time you may bad bearrings.

 

Sounds like headlight fluid. Best go to the store and buy some!

 

LOL, sorry, just a little Red VS Blue HALO humor

It would seem to be a head gasket, on my Thunderbird it had the same prob, its not fun. Good luck and come back and tell us what you find in the oil.

w0000000000000! HALO FAN!!!!!

Just changing the oil wont do much good, it will be bad again within a few minutes of running the car. Just get the car parked someone ASAP before something really bad happens. Good Luck.
