| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While cleaning my spark plugs, i noticed the number #3 spark plug had oil on the spark plug thread. when i put my finger into the number #3 cylinder hole oil showed on my finger. the number #3 plug was also fouled compared to the other new plugs. this could lead to engine damage or a fire in the engine area. i heard that ford had a service bulletin on this problem, but i called ford and they said there is no service bulletin on my car for this problem. i was told by many owners that ford had a valve cover buffle to pcv valve problem on 1999 and 2000 mustang 3.8, but they will not do any thing to correct the problem. i was told my many owners that they mod. and removed the pcv valve and replaced it with filters to stop oil getting into the cylinders. this would make it illegal and would like to see the problem corrected properly. i was told that the 2001 valve covers and up corrected this problem.*ak |
