Hi
How is everyone doing tonight? I just have a few questions that I would really appreciate help with. I have a 1989 Ford Mustang Gt. I was wondering what the IAC is supposed to do when you turn the switch? I it supposed to click or something? Yeah, cuz mine does, well, nothing. While the car is running if I unplut it it does nothing. Right now the car runs great but at idle if fluctuates about 200 rpms up and down. Also, does anyone know how to test a superchip. It is kind of old but, if it wasn't working would the car run? And another thing I have had this car for almost 2 years. When I looked up the vin number when I got the car it said Mustang GT/Cobra GT. Does anyone know what that is about?
Thanks
PLEASE HELP ME

Your car looks like it came straight from Mexico.

Check the surging idle checklist at the top of the forum.

As for your other question, Mustangs are called Cobras in Canada.
