Default Just got my first Mustang today!!

V6, 4.0L Metallic Torch Red, Pony Package, Leather!

One thing I noticed the damn service engine light is on! Do you believe it? Is this normal? It's brand new. Could it be an electrical thing?

I had that light come on after 3600 miles. It turned out the mass air flow sensor went nuts and threw the mixture out of sync or something (I didn't notice any change in car performance). I took it in, they replaced the sensor, and it is all good.

Congrats on the new ride! As others have said about the service engine light... take it to the dealer.

Default Photo's

Uploaded photo's I just waxed it... http://www.matthewbross.com/mustang

Enjoy!

This week... replacing the Shaker 500 with Alpine receiver, Sirius Satellite (for Howard Stern of course), iPod interface. Adding one 12 inch subwoofer and amp (total of 1200 Watts)... all for under $700. For those thinking about the Shaker 1000, run the numbers, an aftermarket stereo it's way cheaper and you get what you want.

Also tinting too, gets hot in the South Florida sun!

Thanks for all the feedback regarding the engine light, the dealer said tighten the gas cap but that didn't do it, bringing it in this week - I think it may just need a reset.
