#76 of 105 02 mustang with 3.8L engine..stick by badpony02 Apr 14, 2009 (3:58 pm)
Having an odd problem with a 90K mile 02 mustang...engine suddenly developed a "miss" on acceleration...changed fuel filter, new plugs and wires....no help...went to my mechanic who put it oncomputer....everything cks out normal....he is stumped. Thinks it might be more than one item. Any ideas...? Similar thing happened 4-5 yrs ago and the factory replaced the computer?   Thanks
#77 of 105 car won't start after shut off for short time by mikey_c2 Apr 23, 2009 (4:26 pm)
So this has happened to me maybe three, four times in the last two months. I would stop and go into 7-11, or walmart, or pickup pizza, and be in there for like 5 minutes. Come back out and my car won't start. It sounds as if its just not getting enough gas, it tries to start, and shows promise for about 1-2 seconds, but then stalls. However, if i wait about 20 minutes it will start right up like it never happened. What is the deal? Please help.

Replying to: mikey_c2 (Apr 23, 2009 4:26 pm) sounds like you have a bad coil, when its gets hot it will stop firing and 20 mins or so it may start. take a look at your coil.

Replying to: mikey_c2 (Apr 23, 2009 4:26 pm) Sounds like vapor lock but I didn't think that was possible with fuel injection. I don't think a bad coil would prevent it from starting. Next time try putting the accelerator all the way to the floor while cranking. Replies to this message: papasam1 (Apr 24, 2009 7:57 am) akirby (Apr 24, 2009 10:44 am) papasam1 (Apr 24, 2009 6:52 pm)

Replying to: akirby (Apr 24, 2009 5:50 am) A bad coil will do just what I said and the way that I said it. If the car is flooded then putting the accelerator on the floor may have done the trick but not in this case. Replies to this message: akirby (Apr 24, 2009 10:44 am) papasam1 (Apr 24, 2009 6:52 pm)

Replying to: papasam1 (Apr 24, 2009 7:57 am) Sorry, I just realized I was in the mustang forum, not the LS forum. When you said coil I thought you meant Coil on Plug - one cylinder - and there's no way that would cause a no-start. If you're talking about a single coil or coil pack then I can see that.

#83 of 105 A real solution by badpony02 Apr 27, 2009 (5:56 am)
Found the problem to my 02 Mustang "miss"...apparently a fairly common fault with the 3.8L V6 is bad coil packs...they often do not show up all the time on computer....if your having problems give this a try...Good luck

Replying to: dewalt (Apr 19, 2007 8:31 am) the beindix on the starter is most likely the problem

Replying to: dewalt (Apr 19, 2007 8:31 am) the bendix on the starter is most likely the problem
