#56 of 105 Squealing noise by clgcoach6 Jul 01, 2008 (2:39 pm)
Ok I have a 2000 ford mustang 3.8L, and for about 3 days now my car has been making a horrible noise like a belt squealing. so i did the WD40 thing, belt dressing, soap thing, even changed my water pump, and the idler pully, the only other noise could be the alternator, or the tensioner pulley right. now that i have changed all of the other stuff, it still makes the noise, just not as bad. i'm lost and need some help. so for those of you that can lend a hand. help me please.....

#57 of 105 07 Mustang Engine problems by wyldpny Jul 15, 2008 (5:40 pm)
Just wondering if anyone has experienced this problem. Yesterday while driving on the highway, the dash of my 07 Mustang lit up and I started loosing speed. As I tried to steer to the shoulder, I lost my power steering. After re starting the car I was able to get home, but the CEL remained lit. Had my mechanic look at it and was told the computer system is "kablueie" (His term not mine), should be covered under the warranty. Called the dealership and they can't look at it until next Monday. Does anyone have any insight as to what the problem could be and how serious? Thanks Replies to this message: papasam1 (Oct 08, 2008 8:50 pm)

Replying to: wyldpny (Jul 15, 2008 5:40 pm) It will be covered under your warranty and yes sounds like a computer problem

Replying to: unkll (May 04, 2007 5:34 pm) I got my 83 GT in 1983 drove it for 11 years and the only time I has that problem was when the thermastat was bad and cause me to blow a head gasket. It can also cause you to blow the header core. does your 83 have a brown left side marker and dual exhaust.

Very expensive repair, its their design problem because they corrected it, supposedly, after about March 2008. You think they would own up to their mistakes! This damages rockers and cam if left unfixed.
#65 of 105 mustang overheating by lil_llama89 Dec 30, 2008 (6:25 pm)
ok, so i just got a 1986 ford mustang from my grandmother, i normally wouldnt have kept it but it has sentimental value and figured as much that i might as well make this one of those project cars since im really not into classics but still wanted an older car to upgrade and stuff like that. well just recently i started leaking anti-freeze/coolant from the water pump. so i bought a new water pump, installed it which stopped the leakage. also changed the timing belts and radiator hoses, but thats besides the point. i figured that while i was at it i would go ahead an flush the radiator and get it all cleaned up. after i did that i finally added that "prestone" 50/50 anti-freese mix. unfortunately my genious of a father with his cheap ways decides to add more water to the already pre-mixed radiator fluid i had put in there. so my question is, would that be the sole reason for the mustang to start overheadting?   p.s. before and even during the leak my engine temp stayed in the middle. p.s. i also know its NOT the thermostat because after i ran the car, the fluid             level depleted like it normally does after u flush it and just start adding more p.s. i also havent heard the "bubbling" noise nd dont see oil mixed with water             so i dont believe its the head gasket.
