Could be that during shipping some gas got into the fuel system emission canister and is causing a code. Pull the codes so you can have a better idea of the prob.

Try just removing the positive battery terminal for about an hour. This'll reset the codes if it's not a trouble code.

Thanx QTRMILER i'll try doing that,,, does the mach 460 stereo have an anti theft/ pin number restart like the Aussie Fords do or will it just play again,,,, PS i dont have an owners handbook.

i love the Stang its a BEAST,, all i have to do now is get a new intake(old cracked) and convert the steering to the right
(aus20,000.00$)

QTRMILER is that a 460 motor on your avatar

Don't know about the Mach460 sound system except it's really nice. The pic is the engine in my '73 Mustang street car.
