I have a 1990 ford mustang gt. The car sat up for a while and recently I just started cranking it up again. The car will not idle what so ever. I can crank it and it will idle high for about 3 seconds and then die even when I try move it I have to constantly press the gas to make it stay crunk. Any advise?

Try cleaning out the throttle body and IAC, could have a lot of carbon build up. Gas may be bad too.
