your O2 sensor must be out. It is in charge of reading you fumes output to determine if you are running too much or too little gas. When this goes out, your car will go in default mode and push more gas in. In return, your car will burn more gas
That has to be gas that is not being burned! No idea why blowing a fuse with the air compressor rashed your car like that - must be coincidental or collateral damage.
carbon is from the fuel burning. There are additives you can add to your gas to help prevent this from happening or a good blast down the highway putting the gas to the floor and you might see some black smoke coming out of the exhaust thats carbon burning off. Carbon can build up if the car is driven easy all the time. or crappy gas doesnt help either. If the carbon is real bad it can start hanging valves open and make it run like ****.If it gets bad enough no power then would have to remove the valves to clean them.
Thatt's an awful lot of oil. Hopefully it might be just some lifter noise. You might try an additive to clean the oil. I would also think of doing a complete service and check up on the Mustang.
Humm, give it some time. there are upper cylinder cleaners, but I worry about converter damage, and oxygen sensor damage. The lower the octane, the hotter and more masssive the burn, exactly backwards from what you would think, but higher octane is slower burn and av.gas is really, really slow.
Ford has had slow to start issues that traced back to drivers using too high octane....
Still, if it keeps pinging, you may need to run higher than spec octane.
I would have thought that your car would have knock sensor that would trim this issue...
you likely ended up with a lot of water and sediment in your fuel. First thing to try is a bottle of gas line anti-freeze as it absorbs any water in the fuel system. you may consider fuel injection flush and a new fuel filter.
adding a bottle of injection cleaner may work well too.
