Hello everyone, new here and was hoping not to create a post but couldn’t find what I was looking for. I recently bought a 2007 GT with manual trans and some mods with 160,000 miles. Mods include full exhaust including long tube headers, CAI, throttle body spacer, 23 lb injectors and 3.55 gears. Supposedly aftermarket throttle body, but it looks like stock to me. Also original steering wheel and seats were replaced with racing wheel and seats, so no airbags on driver side and air bag light is always on. Recently the engine light came on for a oxygen sensor that I replaced, light is still on and also that little wrench light came on twice now. From what I read that light was throttle body related, so I cleaned the throttle body and mass air flow sensor. But it came on the second time.
1. While driving the other day from NC to KY and back cruising anywhere from 70-80 mph the car would randomly cut power for a split second. It did it about 15 times. Nothing else happened, and it would be fine after until it did it again randomly. Is this throttle body related or maybe something else.
2. When I start my car in the morning the clutch is smooth and easy to push but after driving for about 30mins, when I press the clutch it’s stiff and harder to push in. No issues shifting, just heavier clutch pedal after driving for a while. Now from what I read it could be heat and brake fluid related so I do plan to swap the fluid as it has high mileage, is there anything I should be looking at?
3. Bonus question, I have no reverse lights. Went to change bulbs to start with and previous owner had removed them. Put new bulbs in and nothing. Reading some threads look like possibly switch on trans which I will replace. Anything else I should look at.
Thanks in advance for any help.
