Is My Car Too Low?

rene9 · September 4th, 2006, 12:08 AM

i just bought a 97 mustang gt and everything seems alrite i just have a couple of problems 1st the car is low i guess they put some springs or sumthing and it seems to hit the road alot when im driving it what should i do?2nd what does the "O/D off" light mean its the 1 next to the check engine light? cause both stay turned on and what should i check on my engine or what do you think is wrong with it?

Get a code scanner to figure out what code is being thrown to cause the check engine light. The "O/D off"light means the overdrive in your transmission is turned off. I've never had an automatic Mustang (heh), but with Ford's theirs usually a button somewhere you can push to toggle the overdrive on/off. It's possible you may have a problem with your transmission as well, not too sure. I'd suggest getting those codes pulled first, post them on the board, and go from there.

Isn't the O/D off button beside the trac lok button on the center console?

most of the time the od button is on the shifter or atlest thats where it used to be not sure bout now days. its possible the shocks and struts could just be bad and it not be the springs id have them checkd as well

yeah i hit everything possible im dropped 2 inches and i LOVE IT.

Overdrive light off, button is near the shifter, right near where it says the P< R< N< D. thing. haha, you should see it.

CEL is on because something is wrong, you need to have codes checked like others have said.

PM me when you find the code numbers. I'll help you from there, or post them up.

I hate how low my Cobra is, the roads are just too bumpy around here. The side exits drag and forget about speed bumps!
