Hey guys, I'm posting this in the v8 forum since u guys tend to respond a bit faster. My 99 mustang is having some problems. When I start it and back down my driveway sometimes the rpm will stick at a higher idle when the clutch is in, until it warms up. Also, when I slow down and come to a stop at a light, with the clutch pedal pushed in, the rpm will drop extremely low and the motor will shake a bit....it has almost died on me before.

The car is a v6 manual transmission. It has under drive pulleys, upgraded coil and plug wires, cold air intake and 70 mm throttle body, and a diablosport predator tune along with true dual exhaust....among other things. I remember reading a post with similar problems a long time ago and recall it possibly having something to do with the combination of the tune and intake system. Any ideas?

IAC may be dirty, vacuum leaks, TPS. There's really a slue of thinks it could be. Start simple by cleaning the IAC and see what that does.
