    Stalling, jerking and beeping

    Hey! I did check the rubber water drains...fortunately they were clean. Thank you for the tip. Also, a week ago i got trapped in heavy traffic and rain (yes, rain in December) at night. So, wipers, lights and engine fan were all "on" (i turned off A/C and radio) and sure enough the gremlins...

    Hi! i found a couple businesses that apparently are well known on forums: UpFix and Module Repair Pro... Does anyone has experience with those?

    Stalling, jerking and beeping

    An electrical mechanic replaced the burnt pins, removed the boards, and applied dielectric grease, but he told me that any PCB traces already damaged by moisture cannot really be repaired and that the issues may return eventually. Given this, what would you recommend? Should I try to find a new...

    Hi all! Thank you for being so responsive. My car is running a little bit better after a few corrective maintenance services (in addition to some of the tips you have given me here...THANKS FOR THOSE!). Particularly, this time was done to the SJB and gearbox (also I have not being stuck on...

    Dear all, I hope you are well. I´d like to share my latest experiences over the past couple months. Sorry in advance for the long post, but I want to be detailed and hopefully this will guide some others experiencing this problems. a)RECENT REPAIRS (July - August 2025) Battery-to-starter...

    I've ordered the replacement cable, but it looks like it will take about 2-3 weeks to arrive. I'll post updates once it's installed. In the meantime—and I assume the answer is most likely yes—if I continue driving the car with a faulty positive battery terminal (which gets considerably hot...

    Hi! SJB has clean pins...but I also want to install the positive harness per your suggestion. However, the option you kindly sent does not ship to Mexico. Do you think the following one is the right one to get? https://www.ebay.com/itm/404659974517

    I´ll give a try to the SJB and tell you the outcomes...just another doubt...could you please specify which grounds are the ones you suggest checking and reviewing as well?

    Just a quick update. I took the car back to the Ford dealership to have them re-check the PCM and BCM, since both were reprogrammed by them and are still under warranty. After a more detailed inspection, here's what they found: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) has visible corrosion and sulfated...

    Thanks for your help and the detailed reply. I've already done quite a bit: the alternator was rebuilt, a brand new (correct size) battery was installed, and the positive cable was reinforced with an upgraded terminal. That helped — the full engine shutdowns stopped — but I'm still getting...

    Hey everyone, I´m posting this looking to get advise, guidance and thoughts on what you think its the problem. I've been chasing an ongoing issue with my 2006 Mustang GT (4.6L 3V, automatic, Mexico-spec). I'm not the original owner, and it's clear the car didn't get the care it needed. I've...

    Thanks! And yes! Also here was more commonly seen on V6. Its fairly rare to see s197 in Mexico City…but even this color was also rare back in 06.

    Dear all, Nice to meet you! My name is Patricio, I´m from Mexico City. I have been a car enthusiast and pretty much of anything with an engine and 2 or 4 wheels...but mostly the latter. I have a 2006 Mustang GT, with around 50k miles on the clock. Hoping I put my grain of salt here, but also...
