Engine losses power at any speed, sometimes it regains by it self sometime it just dies, when it dies some tomes it starts right away, sometime we have to wait between 5 to 15mins rare 30 mins. Took it to the dealer, it took them a while to say something, finaly they said it's the fuel pump. I paid $450.00 to replace it, took it home. The following day it lost power again, took it back to the dealer, they have my car for 5 days but could not tell me whats wrong with it. They told me they have drove to freeways to side street & kept the engine running for 4 hrs & nothing. Took it home again, on my way home the engine died, head back to the dealer took the mechanic for a ride for 45 mins & nothing, they think I'm crazy. Drove it everyday to & from work only with lots of prayers. 08/24/01 going home, started the car, it started, going into the street the engine died & could not restated, called a tow truck to tow it the dealer. I not sure what they will tell me this time. I love my car & giving it up is not a option. Please help.

I had a problem with my 1995 ford mustang 5.0 stalling. After taking it in 4 times over the course of a month starting 6-8-00 and finally on 7-22-00 the ford dealership replaced the "stator" part#e9tz 12a112 a at a cost of $312.09. This was after paying $476.68 for a new mass airflow sensor, cleaning of the injectors, replacing the air filter, and fuel filter the first time around which did nothing to fix the problem. Sounds to me like the 1995 mustangs should also be included in this recall, especially since the 1994 mustangs are in it. I have all my receipts please let me know how I should proceed.

Car stalled going 70 in commute traffic. Dashboard lights lit up and engine shut down. Had to pull off onto emergency parking area, wait 5 minutes and restarted car. Car stalled two more times, same pattern, light, engine dead. Had to wait to restart engine. Ford tech suspects air scoop sensor problem sending inaccurate infomation to fuel injector system, insufficient fuel, causing stall.

Ignition switch outer ring rotates without key insertion. Will let door chime continuously ring and makes key insertion difficult.

Filed Dec 13, 2000 · Electrical · FL

Inner portion of keyswich rotates independantly of outer plastic/metal portion. This makes it difficult to insert key, and very difficult to start vehicle. And in many cases, car starts, but all 12volt accessories (al that use the ign. On 12v+ wiring) will fail to work (ie:radio, AC blower, interior lighting, gauges). Also spoke to 10-12 other 1995 mustang (base and gt owners) owners, and they all had the exact same problem. This could cause an electrical short, and possibly in extreme cases cause a fire near the airbag assy. Ford changed the ignition key system in 1996.

My 1995 mustang's ignition switch is defective. Oftentimes it is very difficult to insert or remove my key, and the black switch guard around the key has about 1/2" of free play. I have talked to several other mustang owners who have noticed the same problem on their '95s. Once my key wouldn't go in at all.

I'm also having electrical problems, get shocked every time you touch the car. The windshield wipers work when they want to and the turn signals work only when they want to as well. Along with the head gasket blowing this car has been nothing but trouble for me. Also the trunk leaks and smells musty and the rear window will not defog when it is raiining. I'm very disappointed in ford.

Possible electrical problems may be causing headlights, dash lights and tail lights to blink on and off. Nlm

A fuse has blown 3 times in 3 days. It is the fuse that controls the speedomoter, odometer, interior lights, power locks, radio, clock. When the fuse was replaced the third time it blew in my face, and when I turned around there was a big cloud of smoke and there was a distinct strong smell of something burning. I have had many electrical problems with the car since I have had it (4 years). On many occasions the dash light has lit up during the day all by itself. When the door is opened and the keys are out of the ignition and the lights are not on it continues to ding. When you turn the volume up or down many times it will begin to scan channells by itself. Once when the blinker was turned on the windshield wipers came on instead and they would not turn off.

Check engine light stayed on. Camshaft sensor tested, road tested, computer retested. Have hard copy of computer related problem. Cam position sensor code. Traced wiring harness. Found cid wire bare and grounded. Was repaired traced wave form of sensor no good. Also noticed coolant leak. Pressure tested system. Leak is at timing cover at engine block right side. Told head gasket would have to be replaced, cost $500-700. Car not under warranty. Speculation by mechanic and dealer service resources suggested that age and low mileage should be able to get some relief from manufacturer. Have reviewed complaint database and viewed 6 complaints of gasket problems during 1998 for 95 ford mustangs.
