First of all water does run through a factory intake but not after markets ones in most cases

The bendex is sticking and it now time for a rebuild or a new starter, check the teeth to see if they have been damaged.

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.

Its not normal, Ford has a TSB out on the lash adjusters, but wont warrant the work if you are out of 36K limit! 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.

mustang overheating by lil_llama89

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.

86 LX 4 cyl. replacement by mistang66

I have an 86 LX 4 cyl. (yes I know its a putt putt, but he is a cool putt putt) any way, I have had it since new and do not want to part with it (sentimental reasons) The original motor finally called it quits. I DO NOT want to replace it with another 4cyl. Sooo... the question is, is it possible to put in a better motor without having to change everything?
I was told that i can get a bigger motor but it's cheaper to go out and buy a GT. I want to keep this one but i want it to rumble!!!!! Is it possible to do this with out making a big problem????

I have a 92 Mustang GT. My check engine came on for the first time. I am the second owner and she has 215,000 miles. At times when I try to start the car it will start and sometimes it may not.

Has anyone had a problem with the car not starting periodically? I turned the car off and when I went to start it again, it wouldn't start. I had it looked at by a mechanic and they couldn't find anything wrong with it and said it might be in the security within the ignition? Help!
