Electrical Firestorm

The GT failed emission test yesterday due to an intermittent service engine light.  Took it in and the tech said there was an electrical firestorm happening in the enigine bay from a bad alternator.  This was causing a "cam shaft position sensor" error.   Well, one thing led to another and the A/C clutch was bad and the compressor needed to be replaced and then the front brake rotors were down to 2% so THOSE needed to be replaced..  So now, I will be clean and green(as clean as a good ole AMERICAN GAS GUZZLER can be), and I'll be cool stopping on a dime.. Just out a whole bunch of $$.  I should have just traded it in on the GT500KR in glorious Grabber Blue paint that was sitting there... 12 mpg city and 20mpg highway.. I would have to fill up every 15 minutes!!  Gotta love it..

A Grabber Blue KR would be an awesome ride. Sounds like your needed a major overhaul.

New alternator fixed the sensor error..  no problems with the camshaft postion, now I just gotta drive a couple hundred miles to reset the OBD and I 'm good..  A/C works great, new rotors upfront so road trip here I come..

I've seen bad alternators do some very strange things...including gauge failures, radio acting like it's haunted and last but not least...no run conditions. 

How many miles on your stang? (just curious)

I have a long history with high mileage cars...more than half the cars I've been around with around 100k have had an alternator shit the bed in very strange ways...every one of them a bit different symptom and various length of warning time.

I think your "electrical storm" under the hood may be a state of confusion. You may have been out on one of your many hunts with the wife and step-daughter in the car. What you thought was the diagnostic machine at the Ford dealership was actually your EKG at the emergency room. If you experience a hoo-haa for more than four hours seek immediate medical attention. Electrical storm my ass.

Nicole- 58,150 only..  Alternator failed a ripple test, 340hz too low, causing a EEC test P0340 Cam sensor/ circuit failure.  Hence the intermittent dash light and the computer holding onto that code.  Man I miss the old days..  You had fuel, you had compression, you had spark and timing and your car would run.  Give me back my control..

Jerry- She is not my wife anymore   lol
