·I am writing this due to the overwhelming threads started about their mustangs with these symptoms stated in this title. If you do a search on here you will find many threads started because of members stangs exhibiting these signs and almost 9/10 replies back to their problems is a faulty IAC valve or Idle air control valve. It seems this is a faulty unit from ford that can go bad as little as 20k miles or less. Mine went bad around 54k. Thankfully it is a relativitely cheap part to replace and very easy as well. If your car is showing these signs this is the first part I would replace after checking for loose vaccum lines or making sure the car has a good tune up. It has been discussed to pull the part off, shoot some carb cleaner in it and throw it back on. I did this, but it is only a band aid fix and will not last forever or really that long at all. If someone can post a pic of the IAC id appreciate it. I will try to describe it. It is a cylinder shape metal part that is attached to the plenum on the drivers side with 2 bolts. It has a vaccume line attached to it and an electrical connection. Do a search for more info, and if u have any questions feel free to ask them on this thread! Thanks
