Engine stalling for no reason...

[SVTStang03]

OK this has happened twice to me, about 2 months apart. I will get up and get in my car to go to school, the stang' will start up and run fine until I get to the first stop sign. As soon as I come to a stop, clutch in the floor, it dies on me. It will do this for the first 2 stops then it won;t happen again for a month or so.

Any ideas? Is this a sign of a bad IAC?

Thanks!

Mine does that only after I make timing adjustments and don't pull the battery cable. It'll run rough, stall, etc. Pulling the battery cable will typically solve this for me.

Sounds like the IAC. Mine will not stay running though until it warms up a bit. I have to keep it revved up so it won't die but yours may be the initial stages. You may try cleaning it with some carb cleaner but it is only a temp fix. You can pick up a new one for about 40 bucks at Autozone or Napa.

sounds like the iac, mine would do it when the car was cold, I cleaned it but that only fixed it for a fex weeks, discount didnt carry it and autozone would have had to order it, 51.99 at napa. Might be a good idea to try cleaning it first, if it fixes the problem for a little while you know its probably the iac.
