ok ... to start with its a 95 mustang 3.8 , it has a hole lot of new stuff , over a thousand dollars worth , including ignition coil, spark plug wires , spark plugs , fuel filter , cam sensor,serpentine belt, and thermostat, and also the intake plenum has been cleaned inside out.
it was running fine when one day i was driving through town and say the temp was almost in the red, so of cousre i pulled over and found someone with a water house and bled the radiator, but it didnt help much , just enough to get me home , the next day i go to start it and it acts really hesitant at idle , and idles irratically , chugging and shaking , and when you give it gas it acts a little better but not much. it basically acts like its going to die at idle , after a while it warmed up a little and idled evenly no more chugging anyway , but it was idling lower than usually at about 700 rpm . Then i cleaned out the IAC and drove it to town and t overheated again
LONG STORY SHORT.......
95 MUSTANG , WITH LOTS OF NEW
, WITH HORIBLE IDLE PROBLEMS , BUCKING CHUGGING ACTING LIKE ITS GOING TO DIE UNTIL IT GETS WARM THEN IT HAS VERY LOW IDLE AND EVENTUALLY OVERHEATS.
PLEASE HELP
.... IM KINDA THINKIN IT COULD BE A CATALYTIC CONVERTER , IT DOES HAVE FOUR OF THEM AND THEY HAVENT BEEN MESSED WITH SINCE 1995!
