Help Major Problem With Car!
 
Hey guys trying to help my mom out with here piece of shazbot mustang, It has a few problems:

1. Battery dies all the time.
2. stumbles when floored.
3. AC doesnt work.
4. Revs to 2000prm when heater is turned on.
5. Blows cigerate lighter/ auxillery output fuse quite often.

Sounds to me theres a short in the car somewhere beause the battery dies for no reason and the battery is fairly new, for the AC, I recharged it and It worked fine till the next time I started it up the car again, compresser cluth didn't engauge, and a bunch of pressure is held between the condensser and compressor? The stumbling is kinda weird, its almost like a cylinder is missing, but theres no check ebgine light, maybe a cloged fuel injector im not sure but all I know is this car has some major problems. HELP ME OUT!

Sounds like you have a major short. Make sure all the grounds are hooked up and not broke, sounds like the short is in the heating and/or ac system. Does it run ok if the heat and ac is off? Lagging when floored is usually a fuel issue, check the fuel filter make sure its clean, check fuel pump if needed, pressure regulator(s), injectors etc. Does it have the stock stereo in it? If not could be a bad install, if its not stock maybe check behind the stereo and make sure the wires back there did not get cut or pinched or something. Another thing you can do is check the alternator, start the car, remove the positive cable from the battery and if it stays running you know the alt is good, if it dies your alt is crap. Only keep the pos cable off for a few seconds, not good for the alt for it to be off long, about 3 seconds will let you know because it will die right away. Make sure that your ac system is charged right to. The high reving could be from a sensor, check the heat ones first. O2 next. Not sure this helps any but I owned a mustang about 12 years ago and it was an electrical nightmare, did not keep it long.
