Why does my Ford Mustang idle at 800 rpm?
The car had underdrives on the crank and waterpump before I bought it and the volt gauge does not go up until about 1000 rpm. Even with this the car would idle before at 800 rpm. When I added the parts in the sig, the engine would not idle at all. The car died every time it came to a stop.
How does the fuel injected Mustang engine work?
The fuel injected Mustang uses a small motor/valve assembly that allows a specific amount of air to enter the engine to control it’s idle. This valve is comonly called the idle motor, the IAC (idle air control) or the IAB (Idle air bypass). When your car is new the IAC works remarkably well.
What causes a car to have a high idle?
The problem arises when the car gets some miles on it (usually 75K+) and carbon fouling takes its toll. What happens is dirt, excess air filter oil, and most notably carbon gunks up the IAC valve and doesn’t allow it to either open or close properly. This can cause an really high idle, a lumpy/surging idle or no idle at all.
Why does my Mustang jog up and down?

Why does my 2000 GT die at idle?
My 2000 GT started having trouble starting 2 summers ago, it would turn over just fine and would rev up to about 1,200 rpm as usual, but then it would quickly die right back down past the normal idle of 500- 600 rpm and stall out unless I kept it alive with some throttle.
