Somethings wrong with my stang

Mystry · July 23rd, 2006, 11:36 AM

Well my 96 GT is an automatic....i know i wish it was a stick too....but it isnt and i went to do a break stand the other day and it usually would just roast the tires....but this time it was stuck at 2500 rpms and wouldnt move......wtf is wrong???

AtlanticBlue99 · July 23rd, 2006, 11:55 AM

Can you brake stand above 2500 rpms? Will it just stop at 2500 rpms and not go up higher? You should spin the tires at about 1500rpms, but you could have a vaccum leak, poor seals on the intake manifold, or a messed up converter in the tranny.

Mystry · July 23rd, 2006, 11:59 AM

it just goes up to 2500 and then stops and stays there...it does keep the tires spinning but i dont get ne smoke or black marks....hahah

AtlanticBlue99 · July 23rd, 2006, 12:01 PM

I wouldnt worry about smoke or black marks as much as what is wrong with the car. Are you throwing any DTC's? Does it still rev up to redline in P and N? How about shifting manually from 1,2,D? What if overdrive is off?

Mystry · July 24th, 2006, 08:04 PM

Well i havent tried it in overdrive but ill get on the one tonight, and it does the same thing in 1st and 2nd and Drive.........

Mystry · July 24th, 2006, 08:06 PM

oh yea and its still goes to redline in P and N

flattusmaximus78 · July 25th, 2006, 05:54 PM

Its your rev limiter. My dads kicks in at 2500 as well... I mean Im pretty damn sure!

loudenough · July 25th, 2006, 08:39 PM

do you have T/C on yours if so it will cut your gas,timming and put brakes to one or both back wheels(in that order too)

other then that I see a leak in your manifold and vacuum is not that high so test that before you do your gaskets

B0mb3r645 · July 25th, 2006, 08:48 PM

Wow, 2500? Sux

Mystry · July 26th, 2006, 12:58 AM

A lot of my friends that work at ford dealers say that they think it would be the vacuum too, But i do have a new K&N cold air on it could that have ne thing to do with it? Oh yea and T/C doesnt matter...atleast it didnt before so it wouldnt now

B0mb3r645 · July 26th, 2006, 01:02 AM

Seriously doubt the intake being the problem here, and would say your chances would be with the vaccuum. Try that and let us know what you find out.

Mystry · July 26th, 2006, 01:05 AM

i got bored so i just thought i would throw a pic up here

B0mb3r645 · July 26th, 2006, 01:09 AM

I always loved those GT rims, just wanted something with aftermarket and found it.

Know what I hate? Govenors in cars! Only been in one car that I know had a govenor and had it kick in (or off lol!).
