To fix the power steering whine, use ATF TYPE F like ford intended, not power steering fluid. Also for the exhaust, its because the manifold is a one piece mount, seperate the flanges and itll fix itself.

I have a 2002 GT with 185k miles. Bunch of little things have broken, but nothing expensive to fix. The only major thing has been the intake manifold for $300 because it was leaking coolant. Little things include cracked vacuum hoses, coil packs, O2 sensors. I’m actually surprised it has lasted this long because I don’t drive it gently. I’m constantly pulling, passing, revving on a daily basis for 4 years. Knock on wood, but so far my car has been very reliable.

Mustang power steering pumps havent changed since the 80's. Ford used TYPE F transmission fluid int eh power steering pump. This is why you get the whine when you add regular power steering fluid. Swap it out for the TYPE F and you're whine will go away. (as always do your own research before taking internet advice).

Excellent vid. Thanks for the oil leak tips. The radio volume not going down and getting stuck on high when a passenger messes with it and inadvertently turns it UP in order to try to get it to go down was a classic. I finally replaced the entire thing. (At least it's a standard double-din size and was any easy swap.) My 2001 is still going strong at 146,000 and the body and paint have held up better than my newer cars. Never have had an engine issue, and I'm still getting random compliments all the time.

I've had a 2000 Mustang since 2002 and I've kept up with the maintaining. It has 96,000 miles on it, has had a total repaint and restripe (lettering), 18" wheels and spacers, the issues I've had are a blown brake line, a fuel pump. I totally tuned up the vehicle plus replaced all belts-hoses, tranny fluid at 90,000 miles plus shocks and struts. ANY car that you plan to keep needs above average and proactive TLC. I also have a 1987 Corvette with 54,000 miles on it that looks new plus a 2010 Mustang... Cars are fun, a great hobby but like women they can cost a pretty penny to keep them looking and acting sexy and if you don't keep up the cars like women can get cranky and expensive and really screw you over at the very worst time.:)

I have a 99 Stang GT since 99 ... not having NONE of those problems other than the supercharger whine from the p/s and that's not a "mustang" common issue. That's justa Ford bearing issue and even today's Fords after 2013 does that. main leaks are common no matter what car you have. Let me name off some REAL "common mustang issues" 1. Gas Gauge goes to empty when you have about $2.00 left in the take and goes full when you put $5.00 gas in it 2. 2nd gear manual trans Crunch 3. Window motors loses it's strength 4. Bouncing or late responding speedo 5. Whining trans/diff 6. Syncros bad 7. Losing 2nd gear and not even racing 8. Clutch cable goes to shit at the most inconvenient time 9. Heat soaking(most 4.6/5.4L motors) 10. Serving dish of a crank pulley 11. Water pump going out whenever the hell it wants no matter if it's the OEM replacement or aftermarket. Same damn miles, same damn time

Each trim level has different issues. For example, the 03-04 Cobras can have the “Cobra clunk,” power steering leaks, AC Compressor dies, cruise control just quits working, and the alternators get burned up due to not being able to handle the high engine temps. My cobra had that door leather issue where it started to peel back from the top, but I had it fixed.

Unfortunately it was a gas hog so I had to buy another car thats a gas saver. For some reason the car breaks down more just sitting in the driveway than when it was daily driven 😂😂😂. Currently has a ignition problem and a fuel leak so I'm going to part it soon. It was a blast. But life goes on. Loved that car. Slow AF 🙄 but reliable.

Got a 2001 V6 convertible with 60,000 miles. Bought it with an exhaust leak and bad coil pack. Replaced those and the thing has been a freaking tank for the last 3 years. Now has something over 75k (college student, don’t commute that much) and it’s still screaming. Installed BBK headers to fix the leak, and I have plans for a CAI, BBK throttle body, and hopefully a tune down the road. Not a fan of the transmission, but i believe it was designed that way to compliment the V6

Good video. - Thanks for helping educate the masses - Let me help support that cause: For what its worth, here are the problems common to the V-8 version (GT, 4.6 liter) 1. COPs tend to break down after 125,000 miles. Not all aftermarket versions get along with the ECU so research well if you are not replacing with Motorcraft (Ford) 2. Fuel pump on both 6 and V-8 die at between 80,000 and 120,000 so be prepared for that. 3. On the V-8 there is an oil leak which is very common at the mounting boss for the oil filter where the boss mounts to the block. Cheap part (gasket) but the heads on the 4 bolts which hold the filter boss to the block are VERY easy to strip off - Ford parts department replacements have much larger heads (they figured out that the original design was weak) so I recommend buying those before doing the gasket replacement. 4. Odometer can go out or become intermittent on these. There are a bizillion videos on this site covering this issue, typically on F150 trucks which you can view to get you up to speed on that. We also own a v-6 version so I'll vouch for the exhaust leak on that.

Here are a few others. 1. Vent cap on the rear axle, make sure it's clear. Easy to replace, this will prevent pressure from blowing the pinion seal. 2. Code P1518 is mostly caused by plastic clips breaking, the control arms attached to a manifold high RPM relay unit that controls air intake butterfly's. Clips are 6 dollars but the fix is a few hours if the you take off the manifold. 3. Brakes, calipers slide pins love to get stuck, if you did 4 rotors, pads and calipers new/rebuilt your looking at 500 for calipers, 200 for rotors and 75 for pads. Not to mention if you need a flush and what not. that's the low end brakes. 4. Seat belt retraction also fails a lot leaving you with a sloppy seatbelts, the fix is about 100 dollars with a few hours of work. 5. Pop an airbag? $700 from ford, in 2008. www.nhtsa.gov/recalls review TSB here.

And put in a new TPS as the idling, some more common issues with the 3.8l.

Great video. My 2001 V6 has a slight whine and a small oil leak which I’m afraid is just gonna get worse unfortunately. I just had to replace the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor, which is also a common issue I heard. Was running very lean and kicking and stuttering when hitting the gas. Replacing the sensor fixed it 😊

i bought a mustang gt 01 convertible in april. I parked it in city garage since oct. when i tried to start it. the battery was strong and then went dead. it is a little tough to jump the way it is parked. I dont know how old the battery is. should I buy a noco jump charger and charge it up or buy a new battery.

I have a code p1450- unable to bleed up fuel tank Vacuum. Any idea what that could be ? 😥
@concernedcitizen86654 жыл бұрын
Yes. There is a diaphragm on your fuel rail that has a vacuum line running to it. When the engine is running and producing vacuum, this device blocks off the return line to the fuel tank. When you turn off the engine, and built-up fuel pressure between the accumulator and the engine will bleed off into the fuel tank when the diaphragm releases the stopper valve. The engine code is probably a result of a simple vacuum leak from the hose where it connects to the diaphragm, as the fuel rail is in a hot area that breaks down the rubber line. Cost to fix? $1.13- cents

@Mike-go5pg5 жыл бұрын
Try using 1 qt. of Marvel Mystery Oil the next time you change your oil, it helps to clean out the inside of your engine and makes it run smoother. I had a vehicle that was leaking oil at the rear main seal. I changed the oil filter, 4 qts. of regular engine oil and 1 qt. of MMO and I drove the car like that for 8 months. Then when I changed the oil again it wasn't leaking any oil on the ground. I am not making any promises on your car, but give it a try and see if it helps to restore your seals too. It is much cheaper than paying to have a mechanic fix your oil leaks.

Everything this man said. I had to fix and learn all on my own. I have been in 2 car accidents. I fixed the car back up both times, so I know.. I know just about every junkyard over here. U pull and pay saved my life. They are the most organized junkyard I have ever seen... You could even check to see if your car is there online before you get there. And it tells you what row the cars are in also...🥴👌💯

My car does not accelerate properly after changing from park to drive or reverse to drive. Could it be the catalytic converters? because I just replaced the manifolds but the person I bought it from said he drived it with bad manifolds. Has anyone ran into this problem????????

It’s the exhaust leak that makes it lose power man because it ruins the o2 sensors readings but not enough to throw a check engine light

I'd say check spark plugs and wires if those are bad replace them on the wires check for any cracks or tears you can do so by having the car running and then spray water from a bottle on them if you see bubbleing for sizzling replace them if the spark plugs have burns or rust replace themif it's not one of those buy CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner and only that clean the mass air flow sensor if you don't know where it's at there's KZfaq also while you're around that area check the air filter if it's dirty replace it if it's not those checks k the EGR VALVE, PCV VALVE, FOR ANY VACUME LEAKES you can check for the leaks by using a spray bottle and water or listen for any whistle noises sometimes there quite sometimes there not if. You locate one fix it with a new hose or by tightening the connection you can also sea foam the car I did this to mine as well as all the other steps and now it runs like normal if not better and if all that doesn't fix it clean the throttle body and idle air control they might be gummed up with carbon build up also try the zip tie method for the throttle cable don't know what it is just look it up on KZfaq I did this to my car and man it's much more responsive I used washes instead of zip ties to do it though

My '99 has 247,000 miles and has/had 4 of the 5. I replaced both manifolds recently, my power steering issue was the pressure line leaking not the pump itself tho, interior door trim loose, oil leak. I'm diagnosing now an engine vibration but came across your video. I've seen vids from trans mount, to motor mount, to balancer issues that have worked for other Mustangs.
