mustang trouble
drivein along doing about 75 and then poof i go from like 2000 rpm to 0...engine stops...no power stearing no power breaks nothing but all my lights ...dash lights were light up like a xmass tree so i finaly come to a stop...
turn off the lights wait a second as i scratch my head trying to figure out what the fuck just happend....
start it back up she coughs just a second like a rough start almost like you start it and it spat soomthing maybe i dono anyway i put the snorkel back on and the origonal air filter back in and im taking it up to the dealer...
anyone got any ideas what this might be? that caused it?
i cant get to the dealer until like thursday
ps if this keeps up im gonna call the bank and tell them to come get it...and illl buy a 1970 mach1 for 26 insted LMAO

thats what im figureing too..but i wasnt sure. ive never missed an oil change or nothing so im hopeing its somthing easly fixed.....its under warentee but when i went to bring it up for the thumping in the front end they said "we found nothing wron giwth it its an exceptional mustang" but when i rotated the tires the next week the thumping stoped..so i never rotated them back to the front LOL
anyway ill know thursday when i take it up..but thanks..im glad im not the only one who thinks its electrical

highly unlikely and im only saying that because it never sits for more then two days as far as the ice goes but i did have a little over a quater tank...and i did fill it that night...and it was cold the day before and i didnt use it that day...so yeah..maybe...
what about if you go to long without useing a recharge kit on your k and n air filter? they dont tell you how often to clean them so i cleaned mine. today put the old stock filter in that only had 6 thousand miles on it anyway...
but yeah it just like died on me...if its electrical its not the batterie LOL the lights still worked lol

im always told that stuff along with the octaine boost and the cleaners are just bullshit stuff anyway that they dont really clean anything their just like gass in a bottle LOL...
but yeah im driveing it but only when its dry out..and i wash it every three days without fail...just like i did in the summer every three days it gets washed and polished...no snow tires though cuse she wont see a flake....but a lil dry salt wont hurt it...although she has seen a lil wet salty roads afew times i try to not drive it like that cuse i dont want to rust or rott it

the drygas takes the moisture out of the gas tank... it seemed to work last year when my beater wouldnt start when it was -30. Cant hurt to give it a shot

lmfao i got nice rims...
and phill...shush...
btw all is well...they found 0 error codes in the cpu...the did all sorts of diagnostics and nothing was found..so i think what im thinking is perhaps it was the dirty k&n air filter...anyway i put the old filter back in and the snorkel back on...seems to preform beter actually...
