92 mustang gt with 5 speed. Sometimes my throttle will stick but not always. When this happens its like cruise control is on. I feel it right away. Ill use brake to lower rpms but idle will be high when this is happening. 1000rpms to 1200rpm. Normally 750 800 rpm when not sticking. Also when this happens ill go to shift at say 3k rpm n it will stay there or go to maybe 3200 rpms then drop clutch n go to normal rpm. If i rev it the rpms will just hang. Is this just a dirty throttle body sticking that i need to clean or something else. Does not always happen. Usually when it does happen it will be about 20 min into drive n sometimes stops after ten minutes or so. Thanks guys!

You guys with idle/stall problems could save a lot of time chasing your tails if you would go through the Surging Idle Checklist. Over 50 different people contributed information to it. The first two posts have all the fixes, and steps through the how to find and fix your idle problems without spending a lot of time and money. It includes how to dump the computer codes quickly and simply as one of the first steps. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions. You can post questions to that sticky and have your name and idle problem recognized. The guys with original problems and fixes get their posts added to the main fix.

It's free, I don't get anything for the use of it except knowing I helped a fellow Mustang enthusiast with his car. At last check, it had more than 250,000 hits, which indicates it does help fix idle problems quickly and inexpensively.
