    F It ready to sell this p.o.s

    Between having no power, black soot coming from my tailpipes, hard to start when its cold, hard to start when its hot, a clutch chattering, noisy piece of shit, notchy as hell, tremec transmission, and no shops being able to figure out to find out why its running bad just because theres no fuc### check engine light on. IVE HAD IT. Good riddance!

    If the problem is above your skill level, it is likely above any normal shop's. Most techs aren't going to know anything beyond what their scanner tells them, so if there is no check engine light, they have no idea how to deal with it. You have a late model car with aftermarket cams. Take it to a real shop, like our site owner, Wolfpack, or another vendor.

    Did you put the cams in the car? Not you, but did you pay to get them installed? I don't remember that car having anything other than minor bolt ons...

    Sounds exactly like car we had here once, someone put cams in it and didn't check the piston to valve clearance. If I remember correctly it bent all the intake valves, it still ran but sounded like crap and had zero power as you'd figure

    I didnt put the cams in no, or i didnt have them installed they was in the car already.. I didnt even know someone i had looking at the car told me, the only thing i noticed is i did a fuel pressure check and after you turn the key to engergize the pump the pressure shoots up to about 45lbs then bleeds off instantly..like back to zero in less than 3 minutes

    You have had issues with that car since you bought that car. I don't blame you for cutting your losses and move on.

    I'm almost positive that car had stock cams when you bought it.

    Most likely its an easy fix for any shop that works on mustangs. We deal with alot of problem children that other shops can't fix. If you in the area bring it out and we can look over it and scan/datalog it and most likely tell you what's wrong.
