Started up my stang today and it started fine, Then i gave her a little gas cause i like the sound and it stalled ( in neutral ) then i started her back up... started fine and i gave her some gas again... choked down again but i let off before it stalled out.. did that once more then acted normal.. and was normal for my whole ride... WTF?

interesting. it could be a case of some crappy gas. if so, a can of octane boost might help. other than that, did you add anything new lately like a new air filter and also removed the air silencer?

I havent done anything to it.... yet.. bone stock... and i run 93 octane.. so thats why it pis$ed me off so much..

dont worry about it unless it happens again? or is it something to worry about?

How many miles are on it and have you ever done any recommended preventitive maintenance? Such as changing the fuel filter, cleaning the MAF, cleaning/replacing IAC...

Don't run 93 octane.

Yeah, my first thought was a fuel filter. I had a 95 s-10 truck that I ran the piss out of and never did anything to it. It started to buck and cut-out and stall at 80,000 miles so I changed the fuel filter. It ran better than it did the day I bought it with 15,000 or at least it felt like it did. I cut the fuel filter in half with a hacksaw (I was really just seeing if it would blow up!) and there was a muddy, mucky black mess inside that thing. hahahahaha Oh well, you live and learn. I bought my 97 with 53,000 miles the fuel filter was the first thing I did to it.

True dat, use 87 and save some $

But I do not think the wrong octane would cause this much trouble... It has to be something else IMHO.

I had to run atleast 91 on my stock '03 2v. The car pinged on 87 and had a werid flat spot with 89.

Sounds like a filter issue though.
