Most common 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.
