My Mustang is an '05 V6 completely stock and has been having idle problems recently. When this problem occurs, the idle drops down to 500 RPM and fights to stay running. Usually this happens as I am slowing down at an intersection or coming to a stop, however it is not a consistent problem and seems to happen only once to twice a week. If it dies, it still fights to stay running when I restart, usually causing me to give it some gas to keep it running if I'm at a stop light. I have also noticed that if it can keep running and I put the accelerator down while driving and gun it for a few seconds that it will idle normally the next time I come to a stop.
I have searched forums and found posts by other owners who have had similar problems, but have yet to find anyone who has found a solution to the problem. I know about the TSB about fuel pump problems, but I this seems to be different issue. If anyone has any information or advice it would be greatly appreciated.
