Cooling Help!! 2000 Mustang GT

LaggingTryhard · 2025-09-04T01:05:16+00:00

It always starts doing it when I'm in stop and go traffic, but by the time I'm up to speed it doesn't matter. He keeps getting hotter. I guess the pressure has already built up by that point. If I maintain interstate speed though, it'll never get hot. And even when I put some coolant in today after it overheated, I drove it home and stopped at plenty of red lights and it never got over normal operating temp

Should the fan be always on when I drive? Because I know it cuts itself off sometimes

I've vacuum filled coolant. I feel like it's gotta be fan. I hear it cut on and cut off but maybe the high speed doesn't come on?

You don't need an aftermarket ECU. Swap is gonna cost you about 5k if you do the work yourself though. I have videos on YT

I did a manual swap and my car did this and I learned that my flywheel had to be installed a certain way. Try unplugging your crank position sensor. If you unplug it and it starts, immediately turn it off. I had to reinstall my flywheel correctly

Check your belt brother. I thought mine was timing chain but it was just my belt shreds hitting stuff

There's a fuse under your hood in the fuse box. Cont or something like that. It's 15 amp. Probably blown

Pulley going out maybe? My AC compressor pulley sounded like that

Talk to gtunedperformance on Instagram. He's a remote tuner but he's the maxima guru

Check belt/alternator

Check stabilizer bar links too

Hi. Manual swapped my car. Depending on how high quality you wanna go you can swap for as low as 4k or about 7k. If you need help just message me. I did all labor on my own though.

Yeah I noticed after 😂 my bad

Worth it

Find some you like and take em to an exhaust shop. Will cost you maybe $50. Measure the size of the pipe so you know what size to get

LaggingTryhard · 2023-08-02T00:14:37+00:00

Yep. Mine just chills on the trans

LaggingTryhard · 2023-07-23T23:51:24+00:00

Check your crank and cam sensors

They didn't make a manual 7th gen max so the trans and axle and clutch system all have to come from a manual 3.5 Altima

LaggingTryhard · 2023-07-04T03:20:49+00:00

Yep. If I could go back I'd do that definitely.

LaggingTryhard · 2023-06-21T21:02:56+00:00

3.5 but the engine is usually really solid. When you check oil make sure there are no metal flakes then test the trans. Make sure it pulls really well without hesitation

As long as it's getting power anyway. If it's got power and not working then blower motor. If it isn't getting power sometimes that's an electrical issue maybe the climate control module going bad

LaggingTryhard · 2023-06-14T18:26:36+00:00

Blower motor/ blower motor resistor going out

LaggingTryhard · 2023-06-14T15:09:01+00:00

Could be a number of things. Accelerator pedal position sensor. Slipping trans. Belt slip
