I received a build certificate from Ford SVT for a 2003 black SVT Mustang Cobra convertible. The vehicle is build #1620 out of 5082. The car's VIN is 1FAFP49Y63F345515. Carfax states that the car was purchased Woodstock, GA on March 2, 2004. If you own this car or know the owner...

One of the guys in my building owns a Roush Mustang and over the weekend I discovered that he has a tool box mounted under the rear deck lid. It fits the area nicely. When the trunk is open and the box is opened up, the tray is even with the floor. The box was apparently designed and...

I want to thank everyone who provides there input and thoughts to my questions when I had problems with my Cobra. I gave up on trying to resolve the stalling, driveline vibration, and a string of other quality glitches with my car. It is a damn shame that Ford couldn't fix this mess and it...

I want to thank the '03 owners and SVTperformance.com community with my claim against Ford. My '03 Cobra has had a stalling problem since the day of the test drive. I thought it was something that would disappear during the break-in period. It didn't. In fact, it got a lot worse. My...

Can you pass the Illinois State Board of Education's math test for 8th-graders??? http://encarta.msn.com/quiz/quiz.asp?QuizID=95 Man, this brought back nightmares! I got a 18 out of 19. :thumbsup:

I am still tangling with Ford over the stalling issue. I have YDH1 computer code and had the car updated with the latest calibration code. Since the reprogram I have driven her over 800 and still experience an intermittent deceleration stall. :shrug: Does anyone else continue to have this...

How many computer codes are there for the '03 Cobra? Mine is YDH1 and there are at least two others I know of. Does anyone know why there's more than one? Thanks

Ok, I know this question is going to sound a little light in the loafers, but a couple of my girl friends asked what I named my Cobra. I explained it was given a name at birth. Its first name is 'Mustang' and its last name is 'Cobra'. They weren't very happy with the answer. Oh well...

Is it really true that disconnecting the battery for a half an hour then reconnecting really does anything to reset the computer? or is this urban legend? I am having trouble finding anything from Ford saying this actually does anything. I guess what I am looking for is some documented proof...

Just after I bought my car I did a close inspection just before delivery and noticed that the hood, fenders and rear quarter panels were scratched up. It look like someone who washed it had sand on the sponge. The body shop did polish out the blemishes... well, most of them. There are...

I just bought my car last month and I noticed that the gearbox makes a chattering sound when in first or second gear. The sound disappears when I push the clutch in and comes back when I release it. I hear it an a crawling speed with the radio off. It isn't annoying... but I wasn't sure...

How much is too much? This is the forth time I am taking in my Cobra for a deceleration, stalling problem. The car only has 1,200 miles on the odometer and I have had it for 24 days. The dealer has already put 30 miles on it and could not duplicat it. Ford Customer Service is asking that...

From what the press has been saying, the 2005 Mustang will share a modified DEW platform (AKA Lincoln LS and Thunderbird). But I have also heard the the base model and the GT will have a solid rear axles, and only the Cobra will have IRS... just like the current line-up. Is this true? Say...

STILL STALLING OUT? Contact NHTSA to FORCE A RECALL We need to contact NHTSA www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ We do need to force a recall on this stalling problem. My 11/02 2003 Cobra Convertible is stalling when clutch is in and coasting to a stop. The local service dept reset the idle controller...
