What's up guys? I had a few questions you guys might be able to answer for me. I have a 99 Mustang GT 5 speed with only 30K miles. Recently it's had start problems. Initially I replaced the battery and the alternator and still have the problem. Sometimes if i leave it sitting for a day or 2 it neglects to start. However, it does if I hook up a charger too it. I have no idea what the cause might be. Also, when it is running sometimes when i am stopped in neutral the idle is fluctuating very low sometimes at less than 500 rpm and nearly stalls. Could this be related to the timing belt? Yet another question is that my radiator light always comes on yet there seems to be no problem there. I drained, flushed, and refilled the radiator and it still comes on, the temperature is always normal as well with no overheating occuring. Finally, I always hear a rattling noise directly under my shifter and sometimes with the clutch fully engaged the gears grind slightly going from 4th to 5th gear. Any help you guys can provide would be appreciated. Thanks, kevin
