Why does my GT’s check engine light come on when I start it?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your GT testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why does my Ford engine sound different?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Ford GT engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Ford GT engine?

Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I put water in my Ford GT radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your GT when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What could cause my GT engine to suddenly stop?

Your GT car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
