I made a post on here a few months back trying to get my 89 5.0 in running condition and we got there, all it needed was a new ignition switch. I got a rebuilt ECU out of that thanks to my troubleshooting. Anyways, now that it actually will start, it seems to not like to run cold. This morning...

Hi everybody! I'm new to this forum and forums in general. As well as fairly new to the world of classic cars. I bought a 200 straight six, 1968 mustang coupe last year with hope of restoring it. Aesthetically its in good condition, performance wise, not so much. Needless to say I've learned A...

Ok I have an '07 GT with a slight off pattern shake at idle and once every few weeks the car loses power while taking off, like a cylinder or 2 were misfiring all of a sudden and lasts a few secs and then goes away. Odd thing also to mention is if it loses power and the ac was on, I notice the...

I have a 68 mustang with a 302 in it. Its got a holley 750 on it. I was driving along and the car started acting funny. When the car is in park it holds 900rpm idle but as soon as I put it in gear the rpms drop down to 300. It dont stall but when I go to give it gas it runs horrible until 1800...

I just bought an 85 Mustang Foxbody with an '86 5.0 GT V8, and it's giving me some serious trouble in the starting/idling department. When I first start it (temperature is usually around 0 Degrees C), it spins endlessly, coughs, sputters, and will eventually turn over, only to stall out and die...

recently my car has had the slight high idle problem. Before i added underdrive pulleys my car idled at 850rpms cold and when it warmed up to operating temperatures it sat around 900rpms. When i installed my underdrive pulleys the idle dropped to 750rpms cold, but still jumps to 900rpms when...

About 3 weeks ago my lower intake manifold gasket and my water pump went out at the same time. Great. I had to buy a replacement intake manifold and a gasket set I think I put that back together fine. The car ran great for the last two weeks but I occasionally I would see a little fluctuation...

I'm still having issues with my idle rpm's fluctuating after installing my Paxton supercharger from Brenspeed but now having other issues!! Ever since I installed the off road pipes a few weeks ago I'm having a poor cold start, the rpm's don't pick up to the proper idle speed quick enough. Any...

Hello, I recently purchased at 1966 Mustang Coupe with a 302 engine in it. It run good, at least I think it does. The trouble I'm having is that in the morning I have to sort of heat up the engine for it not to stall out. And on top of that, I replaced the gaskets on the carburetor (motorcraft)...

My 1984 5.0 was stalling as I was driving down the road. I let it sit a few minutes and it would start again. Definitly a fuel problem, not electrical. getting fuel to the mechanical fuel pump on the side of the engine, the fuel pump is pretty new, but when it stalled there was no fuel in the...

I got a 2001 Ford Mustang it was running great even with a check engine light on. once i got around to fix the problem which was the EGR valve pressure sensor my car started idling rough it feels like it wants to turn off at times. When i installed the new sensor i disconnected the battery and...

I am an Auto Tech Teacher at a High School, and have been repairing cars for 27 years. The 1985 Mustang I am currently working on, I replaced the engine with a used unit(3.8 v-6), after starting car the idle will go to about 3000 rpm after 15-18 seconds of running and stay there. I have a...

It's a great car. One of my dream cars, to be honest. I'm blessed to have aquired it so young. It runs and drives great. A lot smoother than I thought it'd be. The only issue I'm having is when it's idle. It's a little rough. It keeps up at stoplights and all, but slowly going over a speed bump...
