I saw this on another forum and thought I'd pass it along. I don't know why the OP had trouble. Flushing an engine like this worked for me!!! 

http://mustangforums.com/forum/5-0l-general-discussion/368307-im-done-with-this-car.html

“My car was idling like crap the other day so I figured since I just got it, it may have been awhile since anyone changed the oil out. I decided to go ahead and change the oil. I used Mobile 1 synthentic oil like I was reccomended on here. Anyways, I drain out the oil and noticed it was extremely dark and even after 10 minutes of draining, it was still coming out. I decided to go ahead and flush it to make sure all the bad stuff got out. I hooked up the hose, ran water through the engine, started it up and was waiting for the water to come out clean (The engine never went above idle so I was told this would be ok). Anyways, About 3 minutes into this, then engine starts shaking and shuts off. I figured it was all cleaned out so I plugged it up, added the oil and figured I was ready to go. WRONG! The car won't freaking start now. This car has been nothing but trouble for me, I think I am done with it.”

How could anyone that stupid couldn't possibly figure out where the drain plug in the oil pan is at?   

So are saying this is a good way to engine flush or a bad way.

I'm defending this guy to the end.   stupid happens.  even to brilliant guys like me

I have been in this game for nearly 20 years now, and most of the people I know think I'm making this kind of stuff up... 

I like when people drain the transmisson oil on there passat and over fill the engine oil, classic.  I have also seen alot of lowes parts used to fix breathers and cooling system

Me too... why buy 2 hoses when you can make your own with 12 pieces and 3 hours of your time... 

Sounds interesting, but I don't quite get it...guess I haven't seen enough idiots at my young age...

These young pups. What are we going to do with them?
