The AEM Cold Air System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of cars. Each system is engineered for the particular application. The AEM Cold Air System differs from all others in several ways. We take the inlet air from outside of the engine compartment where the inlet air is considerably cooler than the hot underhood air. The cooler inlet air temperature translates to more power during the combustion process because cool air is denser than warm air. AEM has conducted extensive inlet air temperature studies and we have seen temperature reductions of up to 50 degrees by pulling air from outside of the engine compartment. The air mass flow to the engine is increased because of the increased airflow and reduced inlet temperature, which translates to more power. The AEM Cold Air Systems are 50 states Street Legal (some models and years still pending) and come with complete instructions for ease of installation.

Ford has marked the 45th anniversary of the Mustang with a major redesign not only of the bodylines but also the interior, particularly of the dashboard. The steering, suspension and V8 engine have also been reviewed. The Mustang comes in coupe and convertible models, in a base version with a V6 engine or a GT powered by a V8.
Interior and trunk
Front seat access is relatively easy for a sport coupe. Its very comfortable seats have good side support, fine for anything short of racing the car on a track. The driving position is very good and the driver’s seat is equipped with lumbar adjustment. Legroom is generous, but headroom is a bit tight for tall people.

Tests/Procedures: 1. Question the customer. Check if he/she started the car, cranked the heater fan on full and went back inside as the car warmed up on a sub-zero morning. Engine temperature rise did not occur at the rate the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) expected. 2. Coolant concentrations of greater than 50/50 can cause this code. Tech Tips: This code will set if the heater system is pulling too much heat from the engine as it is warming up. Engine temperature rise did notoccur at the rate the PCM expected. 2 – Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor Confirmed Fix 1 – Coolant Protection 1 – Engine Coolant Level, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor.
