Any suggestions on why it would be doing this? I’m hoping not a transmission issue. 25k original miles. Just purchased.

Hey Amber, welcome to Stangnet.

I’m going to move your thread over to our ‘79-‘95 tech subforum. You’ll get an answer there

It’s good to have you with us.

First thing to do is to check for codes although I suspect a driveline issue, engine or trans mount would be first on my checklist, then u joints.

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.

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 250,000 hits, which indicates it does help fix idle problems quickly and inexpensively.

I don't think that this is that, in this case. Besides, this is "idol" not "idle". Could be an electrical issue to the stereo or speakers.
