#2002 of 2124 Intake Air Temperature Sensor by pancheaux

Feb 13, 2007 (5:45 pm)

The check engine light came on my 2001 mustang with the v6. The code is showing the intake air temperature sensor is indicating a high temperature. I have looked for the sensor on the air intake, but cannot find one. I have looked in the chilton repair manuals and it shows the sensor on the intake between the filter and the manifold. The parts guy at Autozone came out and he couldn't find it. I have talked to the service people at the local ford dealer, and they aren't sure if the air temperature sensor is separate or if it is together with the mass air flow sensor. Any body know the answer?

#2003 of 2124 Ticking sounds by mustangamt

I have a 96 Mustang, when I drive there is a ticking sound from under the hood but only when I am stepping on the gas if I am stopped or cruising it doesn't do it. Could anyone tell me what it could be.

I have have three problems with my Mustang and need some assistance since I am not getting it from the dealer.
 
1. My oil pressure gauge keeps bouncing from no pressure to good pressure, why? Can I still drive it? It has oil and we just changed the oil 2000 miles ago.
 
2. My clutch has this horrible chatter noise. It goes away if the hold the clutch in a little. What is it and how can I make it stop?

1. Ford uses a binary switch for the oil pressure - it's either below normal (no pressure) or normal. Either you have a defective oil pressure sending unit or your oil pressure is fluctuating which is dangerous. You need to have a mechanic check the actual oil pressure while it's fluctuating to see if it's the pressure itself or the sending unit.
 
2. Time for a new clutch or clutch related parts.

Describe the noise. Does it sound like a cricket chirping?
 
If so, it's your throw out bearing and not the rest of the clutch. It's a fairly common problem with the SN95 clutches, and more annoying than dangerous.

A Mustang II, eh? Well, you'll probably be able to get a really good deal on it...
 
They're not very beloved by the Mustang crowd, even now. Best bet is if it's a King Cobra Model.
 
I think in '75, Ford started putting the 302 V8 in it (with a hp output somewhere around 130 I think). So theoretically, you could probably put a later version 5.0 in it for some decent performance...
 
I kinda like the Mustang II styling...a lot better looking to me than the bloated wedge-shape of the previous model.

I need your help. I a picture of the emissions components of a 1995 Ford Mustang GT. If you have a 1995 Ford GT, I would appreciate a pic of your emissions components (hood raised).
 
Thanks,

#2011 of 2124 '96 Mustang Audio Question by aka5505sic

Apr 19, 2007 (4:08 pm)

I have a 1996 GT convertible. I'm about to take the dashboard apart to repaint some of the plastic panels that have started to show wear. Does anyone know if the '96 audio systems have an internal anti-theft security code, and how would I go about getting the code? Dealer?
