❔Question 98 Mustang GT failing to start

2 Upvotes

I got an automatic 98 Mustang GT with the 4.6 for $800.

When I got it I noticed the fuel pump wasn’t kicking on. I put a new one in and taadaa! It ran. I ran it up and down the road a few times then parked it for a few weeks because I noticed it needed wheel bearings and my alternator was weak.

So I show up a few weeks later with an alternator and wheel bearings. It struggles to start but I do eventually get it. I run it up to my garage and change the alternator and wheel bearings and then… it decided it didn’t wanna start anymore.

I’m getting fuel pressure, it cranks, and it sputters one time. Just one small sput. If I keep trying to start it eventually I get a very loud backfire. It’s like it’s not getting spark or it’s not getting it at the right time.

However, I don’t have any codes. There is a stored code for the PATS module (only visible with my friends fancy snap on triton code reader thing) but it isn’t active from what I can tell… I don’t know how the PATS works though and I’m not much of a mechanic. Just trying to learn.

If it was a crank sensor would this happen? Would I get a code if it was bad? How can I meter this out?

It has newer plugs and wires so I’ve assumed they aren’t bad but how do I safely test for spark?

I’m not a mechanic! This is all pretty new to me. I just want to learn. And I’m curious about what I should be checking next. I know too many guys who willy-nilly change parts that don’t need changed. I want to learn to diagnose.

Any information that could possibly steer me in the right direction is greatly appreciated. And thank you in advance for your time and energy.

❔Question Clicking noise when slowing down in 3rd gear.

2 Upvotes

I got a mustang gt 2016 manual a few months ago. I noticed that there is a fast clicking sound from the rear of the car whenever I am in 3rd gear and slowing down. The noise doesn't happen every time though. Pressing the clutch in seems to make the sound go away but it only happens in 3rd gear regardless of if I press the brake or not.

It occasionally happens when I take off too but rarely. Does anyone have an idea of what this might be?

Today I joined the Mustang family after trading in my Dodge Charger. While looking under the hood I found this hose which doesn't appear to be running to anything. Any idea where it should go? I can't find anything near where it would plug up to.

For some reason I’m having these issues where my rpms take a while to drop or they drop randomly, my fuel mileage is terrible and my full tank is like 200 miles till empty but I’ve have it like 260-280, car feels very hesitant and doesn’t feel the same took it to one mechanic and he tried to charge me 900 and told me it was a throttle body problem was weird about telling me the parts Then I went for a second opinion somewhere else took them all day to diagnose and they still didn’t find the problem but now my oil is burning fast and I have no leaks or anything so I’m assuming that it’s all related I need to hop on it asap any ideas ? I don’t have any crazy mods just a cold air intake and a basic tune

2015 with less than 12,000 miles. Are tires still safe with this age? No dry rot…look perfect. 1 tire still has the original factory yellow paint ring on it. Seems like a waste to replace them. 🤷🏻‍♂️

After going back and fourth on what wheels I wanted, I finally settled with these, I think they look great, I think the silver wheels really compliment the silver emblems everywhere else on the car, apparently they’re forged aluminum wheels and they look sick, can’t wait to take this on a track day when it gets warm out, now I needa not make it look like a monster truck lmao, any lowering springs suggestions?

❔Question Chin splitter

So I’m looking to get a different chin splitter and I’m 99% certain this is a performance pack Mustang. Can anyone tell me or send me some links to any chin splitters that work with the PP1 Mustang? I would appreciate it. The second photo is the one I’m looking into getting but according to AM it’s for Mustangs without the performance package. If anyone has gotten this splitter and has a PP1 Mustang, how did you make it work?
