Finally Back in a Ford Product!

I picked this up on Friday from the second owner. It's an '02 LS V8 with 68000 miles. It's got pretty much every option except for the +/- shifter but that doesn't matter as you can still manually shift up through the gears pretty efficiently. It's even got the factory 17" wheels. :burnout:
The car is a little dirty right now its been raining off and on.
It's already acting like it's got either a fowled spark plug or a coil plug going bad. Which I understand is common with these motors. Figures, being the son of a mechanic nothing automotive is ever simple.
Yeah, they are not bad cars.
I just bought my 05 two weeks ago and I love it. great car with a baby cobra motor
Yeah coils going bad on those are pretty common. Might wanna check to see if Saleen still offers a blower for the 3.9 v8.
Congrats. I had one of those for a weekend rental once and thought it was a very nice car and comfortable as hell
Yeah the jag version does fit...you should be able to find one on ebay...if not..theres the saleen option..which oddly enough it made 390hp/390lb-ft trq in the prototype saleen thurnderbird back in 03
thunderbird had the 3.9L as well. the coils go bad because the valve cover gaskets leak and allow oil into the spark plug jackets. i went ahead and bought all new coils, plugs, and the gaskets and did everything at once. I had a 3.9 LS V8 but its now gone, it had too many problems. mainly i was pissed at the tranny, it had the SST, tho. something was wrong with a solenoid, i can't remember exactly but labor would have been a bitch.
i would post pics, but they're on my other pc. i'll try and get them, g/l with the car
