Mustangs Suck!


So my check engine light comes on and the car acts like a 4cyl. like when I gun it it want rev no higher then 3rpms and barly goes. so the check engine lights reads its a cam shaft sensor. so I changed it. still runs like a bitch...so I checked the wires, looks good! took that one back and bought a new sensor and re installed it. still runs like a bitch and the check engine light still reads its the cam shaft sensor. Im so mad right now..and so confussed.


what can it be?

Well im on deployment, but when i put my car in storage i had the problem, but didnt have tiime to get it checked. It was like pushing down on the gas and it would barely go anywhere, no kick or acceleration or anything. It might need to be taken to a shop

I'm not sure if you know this but theres this stuff called oil...and your motor tends to run better with some in it....just sayin. You must be doing something wrong because my 4.6 runs strong. I give it routine maintanence and never have any problems.

The problem is that either the engines they are putting in already have problems or they didn't put it in right or you are really tough on your vehicles.

The engines are brand new,Ford is putting them in. Im not hard on my car either. I mean I thought a mustang could take a few hard take offs once in a while. My cousin has a 04 and he hits on that car so hard. never has a problem with it. I think ford needs to learn how to put a engine in right I guess. Fu.. my car

You can't drive or take care of a vehicle.
