Top 20 1996 Ford Mustang Questions & Answers

The way to fix it is to ascertain the thing that is nissing; Petrol engines require Fuel, Air, Spark and Compression.

The red wire's to the injectors should have battery voltage , do they ? Test with a voltmeter . The other different color wires go to the PCM - engine computer . The PCM supply's ground to those wires when it receives a signal from the crank sensor or cam sensor . You have a bad PCM or a sensor input could be missing .

try looking for crossed HT wires and incorrect firing order for the plugs

This is the only diagram I could find for tail-lamps. The top wires are voltage, the bottom wire is ground. The brown color wire is voltage for tail lamps. The other color wire is turn or stop, depending. The turn and lower brake lites use the same bulb filament, just not at the same time. The lower brake lites are wired through turn signal switch. I don't know if diagram matches what you have? I looked at several, all showed the same thing.

did you pack the thrust bearing with grease before fitting. its always best to pack with grease before fitting. as new bearing only come with a small amount for testing the bearing, pack grease into the bearing and spin it do this fa few times and wipe away the excess off before fitting.

The starting relay module is located on the radiator fan mount close to the fan for cooling. They do go bad on 96 3.8. An 8m/m socket is needed to unplug harness retaining bolt

As long as the lights do not stay on, a broken switch should not drain the battery. Why don't you pull the fuse on the headlights and taillights?

Since it sounds like you also carried over the OBD2 connector, do you have access to an OBD2 scan tool with datastream mode? If so, you should be able to monitor various sensors to see if that offers a clue as to why it stalls. When it just spins over have you checked for spark, fuel, and injector pulse width?

Have you run a compression check on that cylinder? Have you verified the fuel injector is working?

What is the output voltage of the alternator with all the lights on and the heater blower on high and the engine at 1500 RPM?

drain and check the sump oil for metal particles strong nocks indicate big end bearing failure or cam shaft lobes failure

There is no such thing as an electronic clutch. Assuming your talking about the clutch associated with the transmission. The clutch is engaged via a cable going from the clutch itself to the clutch pedal through the firewall. There is also a clutch quadrant under the dash (attached to the pedal) that is self adjusting. If this goes bad then you need to replace it. What is the issue your experiencing?

Try disconnecting both battery terminals, Wait about 30 minutes. Touch both terminals together +/- , Be sure not to touch battery while touching both hot -n- ground together for a few seconds. Then put the hot/red cable back on the battery-tighten. Then put on the ground to the - side of battery. Start your car- push brake pedal to the floor push lock/unlock button. and see if it worked. If not replace battery in key fob. make sure you put hot to the hot side/ and ground to the ground side of battery!!!!.

The car must be put in park or neutral and the emergency brake applied before you push the power button to lower it. It's a safety feature to prevent people from trying to open or close them while in motion.

I am not sure exactly what your question is, but the relays in your mustang are located on either the under hood fuse box or the CCRM, which is located in the passenger side fenderwell. To do a bench test on one to see if its working, simply locate the relay in question and unplug it.Look on it's side and you will see its schematic with numbers at either end of two symbols. One symbol will be a straight line with a circle at either end and the other will be a circle with a line running from it at 45 degrees with a circle underneath it when that line ends. Get two wires and attach one to your cars battery positive and negative terminals. The pins on the bottom of the relay are numbered. Match the 2 pins that match the numbers for the symbol with the straight line with a circle at each end(numbers will be next to the circles) and touch one wire to one pin and the other wire to the other pin. You should hear an audible click. If you do then the relay is good, if not the relay is bad.

Valves could be causing the mis-fire. This is a well known cause on the 4.6 liters I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_677dced97ad9bddf

It could possibly be loose linkage where it connects to the transmission. Block the wheels on the passenger side and jack up the driver side of the car, putting jack stands under the front and back.Using a flashlight or drop light, inspect the linkage for loose connections or bent arms. If nothing found, try to manually move the linkage at the transmission. There is a possibility of bent or broken linkage inside the transmission, but that is an involved repair best suited for a shop.

look for the blower motor resistor under the dash on the passenger side, in the air duct you should see a plug with about 5 wires connected to the resistor.
