Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum and happy to be here. I currently own two Mustangs, a 1968 and a 1988. At a car show tonight and I have two friends with Fox body Mustangs who are having an intermittent stalling problem. Both cars will run fine and without any warning, just stall. Turn the key off and the cars restart without a problem. Both guys have replaced the TFI module, the pick up in the distributor and various relays without any improvement. The one guy replaced the fuel pump but even that didn't help. Is there any part known to fail on Fox Mustangs that could cause this problem? Can anyone recommend a direction we should be going? One of the cars is a 1990 and the other a 89. Thanks in advance!
 
You guys with idle/stall problems could save a lot of time chasing your tails if you would go through the Surging Idle Checklist. Over 50 different people contributed information to it. The first two posts have all the fixes, and steps through the how to find and fix your idle problems without spending a lot of time and money. It includes how to dump the computer codes quickly and simply as one of the first steps. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions. You can post questions to that sticky and have your name and idle problem recognized. The guys with original problems and fixes get their posts added to the main fix. :D

It's free, I don't get anything for the use of it except knowing I helped a fellow Mustang enthusiast with his car. At last check, it had more than 200,000 hits, which indicates it does help fix idle problems quickly and inexpensively.
