I have a 2003 Mustang GT with roughly 180k miles on it.
The first symptom is the fact that in the morning when I start the car up the battery voltage indicator light wants to start out a little below the half way mark(10 volt range) and the lights are dim. This is with the car at idle around 500-750rpm. As soon as I get the rpm up to around 1k rpm the lights brighten, and the voltage meter jumps to around 13-14 volt range.
The second symptom is the car seems to buck/stumple at around 1-1500rpm range pretty much in any gear under load. And clears up after about 2k rpm range.
The last symptom is almost like a ground hum through the radio when the car is anywhere in the rpm's below 2k.
I have replaced 2 coil packs since buying the car 2 years ago, along with 3 alternators(finally bought the Duralast gold lifetime alternator), spark plugs, all pulleys, fuel filter, and pretty much all your general maintenance. SO my question is where all do I need to focus on this car, to get it ready to sell and get our of the Mustang market for some time?
