Hey guys I am brand new to this forum and brand new to Mustangs! I have a 2003 GT with the 4.6! it was idling horribly and wouldn't stay running. Self diagnosed the Idle AC valve replaced it and it ran like a charm for several days. Then it sat for about a week and started with the exact same symptoms. Do I possibly need to reset the computer? Help

Don't ignore:
  • the charging system
  • the ignition system
  • intake vacuum leaks
  • exhaust leaks.
  • fuel pressure
