trying to get dads GF back on the road in the stang!
i need help for a similar issue! car runs rough.. bogs out.. stalls when you come to a complete stop SOMETIMES.. engine shakes at low RPM just like stated above BUT i also have a ticking noise coming from somewhere under or around the intake and before you crank the engine the fuel pump sounds like its spazzing out. seems like a bad connection somewhere? any help? i can take something apart and put it together but no experience with diagnostics. it is a 96stang with an 03v6 in it. car drove fine up until today.
car is in arizona.. live off of a dirt road.. and is driven no more than 30 miles a day just to give you more of a clue of driving conditions.

When was the last time the fuel filter was changed? Did you clean the MAF? How about the air filter?
Confirm the ignition is in good repair. Spark plugs? Wires?
Confirm there are no vacuum leaks.
Confirm the fuel pressure. This will tell you more about the health of the fuel pump.

If you read my previous posts, I was really helped by this site. I don't see if you have put a OBD2 tester on car and read the codes. You need to do this first. Autozone + Oreillys both will read your codes for free, or lend you their tester if you can't drive to store. Good luck!
