QTDDTOT!

I would check it warmish, depending on temp.

I let it run up to temp then wait 10min or so.

alright. thank you both senpaitachi

Is a 1989 5.0 Mustang LX too much for a relatively new driver? I've been driving for a bout a year now but the most powerful thing I've ever driven is my mom's V6 Toyota Avalon.

The only problem I have with it, I think a car with a 4.9L V8 and RWD is a recipe for disaster for a relatively inexperienced driver. Although I feel I have better judgement, and wont be trying to burnouts leaving crowded parking lots or crashing into crowds. I'm just looking for a fun daily driver that I can learn to wrench on when the time comes.

To be honest I'm much more interested in this 1990 Honda CRX also on Craigslist, but the seller told me he had someone coming to look at it on Tuesday and hasn't said a word since even though he said he would keep me in the loop

Dude... it's a 1989 V8. Off the factory line it put our like 225hp. Unless the engine has been rebuilt recently, it's not even touching 200hp anymore.
Your mom's Avalon puts down more power than that.
Also that mustang is like a 3200 lb car, so the Avalon is even going to feel more powerful based on power to weight ratio.

ill check it out, thanks

Not familiar with dodges but it's generally the same, you'll have to take out the brakes which I forgot to mention.

If you google hard enough you might be able to find a factory service manual.

Rent a storage unit big enough to park your car

Yeah thats true, I didn't think about how almost 30 years of use has weakened the engine.

Also, I just talked to the guy. He says the biggest problems it has are the CEL coming on at 2000 rpms and then shutting off and the cruise control not working. Any ideas on what the cause of the CEL might be?

No it doesn't and it's difficult to drift in an automatic, as you can't clutch kick.
