Fox Dies When Rpms Drop.

[OneWheelPeel]

So lately when I'm driving if I put the clutch in to make a turn,the rpms drop and then the car will die. If I try to start it with the starter it wont start but if I dump the clutch in second it will fire right up every time. This is making me think its the alternator not putting out enough amps when the rpms drop. Im about to buy a 3g alternator but before I do I just wanted some other opinions.

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 200,000 hits, which indicates it does help fix idle problems quickly and inexpensively.
