I have an automatic 2006 Mustang GT Premium Convertible, it just hit 80,000 miles this week and it has nothing performance done to it.
I just changed my alternator for the second time in a year. Except now after changing my car is dying on me when I come to a stop or am driving low speeds like 5-7 MPH. If I'm just idling with my foot on the brake the idle is low around 600 rpm. If in neutral or park it'll go back up to the 750 or so it should be at.
Going to work in the morning as I come to a light the rpms will just drop, car shuts off no warning and the battery light and i THINK the check engine light come on. Turn ignition off, turn back on and pretty much no problem unless it happens again.
I thought this was only happening in the mornings when the car was cold but I was just driving around for a half hour and I was driving really slow through a packed parking lot and it happened five times in a row in 2 minutes.
There is no CEL, I had advance auto check my alternator and battery they said both check out no problems.
I don't even know what to check now but my car can't keep dying on me. Did I damage a sensor or something? What can I check, what info do you need to help diagnose it?
Thank you!
