My car was idling like crap the other day so I figured since I just got it, it may have been awhile since anyone changed the oil out. I decided to go ahead and change the oil. I used Mobile 1 synthentic oil like I was reccomended on here. Anyways, I drain out the oil and noticed it was extremely dark and even after 10 minutes of draining, it was still coming out. I decided to go ahead and flush it to make sure all the bad stuff got out. I hooked up the hose, ran water through the engine, started it up and was waiting for the water to come out clean (The engine never went above idle so I was told this would be ok). Anyways, About 3 minutes into this, then engine starts shaking and shuts off. I figured it was all cleaned out so I plugged it up, added the oil and figured I was ready to go. WRONG! The car won't freaking start now. This car has been nothing but trouble for me, I think I am done with it.

Holy smokes, this thread needs to go into the Technical Thread of the Day!


Oh wait.. I see, you are reposting this from another site. Man, you gotta make that stuff clear in your original post. I thought you did this until I noticed the link in your original post. Just delete this thread and add the link to the technical thread of the day.

Almost as good as the guy who put sand in his intake so he could polish his heads. :)

:thud:It's backkkkkkk....

Yea.. guess after the 100 or so times this story has been posted on various ricer boards someone figured they needed to make a Mustang post of it.

I will let you guys enjoy it for a day or so then moving it out of the technical section since there is absolutely no technical merit to the thread





Although....now that I think about it, considering where the link in the thread is from it could actually be a legit post :)

Your supposed to use magnetic water so that any metal fragments stick to it and come out.
