    Driver seat broke on me.

    Hello ladies and gentlemen. Hope you're having a cooler July than I am. So here's the issue, and it's a sad one. I'm driving home from work, did a quick little pull from 0. No problems. Second pull from zero. SNAP!!! My seat reclines all the way back. Luckily I'm about a half a mile...

    Driver seat having a bit of issues...

    This has started about 2 years ago, and it's not gone away, but hasn't gotten worse. My driver seat won't keep it's stiffness with the power "back" grip. The lower portion that hugs your ass, well that will stay stiff. As I'm driving, the back tension will loosen, and I have to tighten it again...

    Over heating....again.

    Here goes another story of this little 4.6 over heating once again. Now I've had a problem with over heating once, and the problem went away for a while. The first time it over heated, the degas bottle had a crack underneath it. Caused coolant to leak and it was replaced. As of a few days...

    Cobra over heating, AGAIN!!!

    This car is beginning to irritate me. The fact that it's 100% stock should clear me from a few problems that have occured in a short amount of time. So as of Jan. 2014, my car started over heating and smoking. Found out that my coolant was low, and I needed a flush. Everything was fine up...

    Weak throttle response after spark plug change

    A little over a week ago, 4/6/14, I changed my spark plugs because I thought it would be a good idea since I was doing some maintenance. Apparently, the spark plugs were already swapped out for NGK TR6 plugs from the previous owner back in '08. The new plugs I used were stock Motorcraft plugs...

    Power seat fudging up on me.

    So this problem has been around for a few months know, probably, since I couldn't determine if it was a problem or not lol. My power seat moves fine, it's just two little issues. It resets on me while I'm driving. I haven't tested the ass part of the seat, but the back part, that squeezes around...

    Please help :(

    So the car has roughly 34,xxx miles on it, and out of the blue, there is a whining sound coming from the engine bay. I didn't jack the car up but I checked if the sound is louder underneath, and it is. Now, this is where shit gets weird. Letting off the clutch, slowly, no throttle given at all...
