<![CDATA[Lack of power]]>So ever since i put a new radiator in my 02 mustang (v6) i can tell there is a lack of power, it wont even roast its one wheel 😉 not even a squeak....Anyone know where i should even begin to look...I check all the fluids and changed my oil, had new spark plugs and cables at the beginning of last summer

I got rid of my radiator. when i want to shut my car off i just rev bounce it a little until it seizes up and stops.

As far as the 3.8, goes I'd make fun of it too if I didn't have anything constructive to say. Airflow is one thing you'll want to check, filter, clean mass air sensor, that kind of thing. Could be something like a clogged cat too.

Maybe the floor mat got stuck under the gas pedal?

Long story short....Buddy got my car impounded when i got it out, the front fender was scratches up good, the bumper has some chips on the bottom and there was a whole in my radiator the size of a softball. Put the radiator and everything in myself and it runs great but the power isn't all there and i just wanna fix up the scratches so i can sell it in the future.
Interesting, your buddy beat the shit outta your car and it had a hole in the radiator. He kept driving after the hole was in it probably overheated some. If that was my car, buddy would be in a snow bank right now. Back to the scheme of the thread, might be the hydrotulator valve, fords are notorious for them going bad.......
