Why Am I Stalling

99modular · September 12th, 2006, 09:02 PM

I just got in my stanger, and tried to start it, but it would not idle and die out. I had to keep reving it for about 3-5mins and then it would idle by itself. Any ides would help.

Try cleaning your IAC. It's a fairly common problem after Mustangs get some mileage.

spray a quick shot of wd40 in it every time you change the oil and it won't give you a problem.
