Alright here my prob. At a cold start my stang will not stay running unless i sit there and give it a tiny bit of gas a few times .... but once the engine warms up it seems to not be a problem. Any help would be appreciated .. thanks

Agreed with the IAC, but a list of mods would help. Clean it out and reset the idle.

Good luck.

I have the same problem as you, EXACT SAME and its not the IAC ive replaced it twice thinkin it was. Im almost to the point of just living with it. The only thing i can think of that i havent checked is the 02 sensors, injectors, and fuel pump. I need to do a mass air converison ive heard this solves a lot of problems, but the thing is i had this problem when the car was bone dry stock. I would clean the IAC though, soak it overnight in carb cleaner or something, but i would be surprised if its that easy!!!!
