Just got done cleaning MAF, throttle tube and tb sensors with like a DROP of alcohol and swab. Had the battery disconnected/reconnected and allowed car to idle for ten minutes. Took her down the block, and the initial run from a stop the car felt tons stronger. Then all of the sudden, every time I hit the gas from a stop the car misses/stumbles really, really, really fu$#ing bad!! Please help if you have any info or suggestions.

no, I already re-checked all connections like twenty times!! Could it just be that the computer is recalibrating? Excuse me while I kick myself in the ass....

If you put the MAF back in before it was dry, that could be your problem.

spend a couple bucks and get it checked out by your mustang mechanic. i dont think that anyone here has the magic answer that you are looking for.

Are you sure there isnt a vacuum leak somewhere? That would cause the car to have an ugly idle/take-off.
