Problems:

Oil leaks
The V8 engines in 2008 Ford Mustangs are known for developing oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gaskets and the oil pan gasket.
Spark plug issues
The 4.6L V8 engines can experience problems with spark plugs breaking off during removal, which can cause significant repair challenges.
Timing chain wear
Overhead cam (OHC) engines like the one in this Mustang can suffer from timing chain wear or tensioner failure, leading to noisy operation and potential engine damage.
Cooling system problems
Older Ford Mustangs with V8 engines can experience failures in the cooling system, such as radiator leaks or water pump failures, leading to overheating.
Intake manifold cracks
The plastic intake manifolds on these engines are prone to cracking, which can lead to coolant leaks and engine overheating.
Throttle body issues
The throttle body can become dirty or malfunction, leading to poor engine performance and rough idling.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to misfires, rough running, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Problems:

Oil leaks
Oil leaks are common in V-shaped engines due to the complexity of sealing the two cylinder banks.
Spark plug issues
In V8 engines, spark plugs can wear out faster due to the higher power output, leading to misfires or reduced performance.
Cooling system problems
V8 engines generate a lot of heat, which can overwhelm the cooling system, resulting in overheating issues.
Timing chain/belt wear
Timing chains or belts in V-shaped engines, especially in older models, can wear out or stretch, causing timing issues.
Fuel injector problems
V8 engines have multiple fuel injectors, and any malfunction can lead to uneven fuel distribution, causing rough idling or poor acceleration.
Exhaust manifold leaks
The V-shaped configuration can lead to exhaust manifold leaks, which may cause a ticking sound or reduced engine efficiency.
Intake manifold gasket failure
The complex design of V8 engines can lead to intake manifold gasket failures, causing vacuum leaks or coolant leaks.
