Here is a question.... My 90 gt auto has been running rough lately when first started. When it is first started it feels like it is missing. As the car warms up the missing subsides and you only feel it once in a blue moon. Not sure what is going on. Hopefully I can get some suggestions on what to look for. The car is fuel inject with 75mm tb,cai,bbk shorties and not to sure but I have an after market intake manifold also. All your suggestions are muchly appreciated....

You can use the method indicated at the top of the thread located here:

http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/help-me-create-the-surging-idle-checklist.698148/

Or you can head over to your favorite auto parts store to purchase an OBDI code reader. EQUUS DIGITAL FORD CODE READER (3145) can be had from most auto parts stores for pretty cheap.
