Problems with my 00 GT

energiesource · January 1st, 2007, 08:31 PM

So I have a 2000 GT and it has about 112,000 km's on it
and it seems to be running very...sluggish lately, what can i do to make it go the way it did?

Put a 2" block under the gas pedal and drive around for about two weeks. After two weeks, pull the block out and the car will feel hella' fast when you floor it.

That's the cheap fix....

your going to have to be more descriptive about the problem

C MY 4D · January 1st, 2007, 09:38 PM

tune up, seafoam, air filter?, fuel filter

energiesource · January 1st, 2007, 10:23 PM

i floor it and the response is slow
but the pedal isnt loose, like some people explain,

Aww man! You ain't been treatin her too good! Haha. 112k ain't nothin.

You need to get a good tune up. That's it. She'll be fine man!

Are you running stock exhaust?

2000stangGT · January 2nd, 2007, 03:35 PM

ya check filters. air and fuel. maybe plugs

TheManInBlack · January 2nd, 2007, 05:36 PM

that reminds me..i need to probably do a tune up before too long...71k on the ticker..

Tony_90fox · January 2nd, 2007, 06:44 PM

tune up, oil change, flush fluids, get some gears, and it will be fine.

JRuckas · January 2nd, 2007, 06:47 PM

112k... ewh... like everyone else suggested, a tune up! new air filter or cleaning of if its an aftermarket filter, new spark plugs, fuel system cleaner and or pull the injectors and clean them, new fuel filter, oil change. how long since that last tune up?

energiesource · January 2nd, 2007, 07:27 PM

its been a while
around here you pay like $500 for a tuneup at the ford dealerships

JRuckas · January 2nd, 2007, 07:49 PM

of course, ford is going to charge you out the ass for anything. ever consider trying some of it yourself? its really easy once you have done it once. if you would like to do it yourself and need any information at all, let us know. there are plenty of stangers on here that will walk you through whatever you need. the only tough things would be, the plugs, injectors, and mabye the fuel filter. those aren't really that hard though. let us know what you want to do. where are you from, if you don't mind me asking? maybe there is a member on here that lives close by and could give a hand.

90% of it is simple to do yourself with a little time and effort. Heck, plus... you'll know your girl a whole lot better! Any questions just ask bro.
