SURGING IDLE / NO IDLE CHECKLIST FOR 1996–1998 MUSTANG GT...
I am at my wits end, I have replaced near every sensor I can think of on my motor (‘89 5.0) and yet everytime I have to start the car cold it revs up and dies. It will restart immediately and then struggle for a few seconds before dying. Once it finally finds its idle and goes into gear (AOD) it...
