Recently my 3.8L V6 mustang has been having problems with the RPMs. While I have my car in park the RPMs will fluctuate between 1,000 to as high as 2,000 RPMs. Lately its been doing this about once or more per minute. The vehicle is already warmed up when doing this and so far I don't have any lights on. Any Suggestions on what it could be?

PLEASE HELP!

clean your IAC and MAF, im sure there is a good write up if you google it.

Carb cleaner... happened to me before.

Unfortunately for me, cleaning it wasn't enough... replaced it.

Plus you WILL find write-ups by search on Google.

Thank you! I asked some people at my work (I work at a car dealership) and they said the IAC is most likely and that you can't clean them, just better to replace it. But at least now I know what the problem is.

They are retarded, you can clean it... I would from now on no longer listen to them.

I recommend all of them be fired. IACs can be cleaned. I've cleaned mine and it fixed the same issue you're having. There's no reason to replace a $60 part when you can clean your current one and it should fix the problem.
