Thanks first off to all you guys who take the time to read these and reply.
Moving on, I just bought my first mustang. It's a 1994 GT Convertible Auto. I just ordered and got in Moog Racing Wheel Bearings and assembly, B&M Shift Kit, Cardone Select Mass Air Flow Sensor, and it already has a MSD Igniton, full exhaust minus headers. Also just ordered new convertible top, changing from stock tan to black.
Now the issue at hand, I was enticed to step down on the gas when I was almost clipped by an apparent drunk driver. In an attempt to separate myself from him something happened after the down kick. When I exited the highway and approached a stoplight my engine wouldn't come down below 1,000-1,500 RPM. It was almost enough so that if I left in drive and had toe on brake it would drive through them. So I popped into neutral at each preceeding light until i got home. Now the young fella, lol im only 33 but the kod who owned b4 was 19 and a good friend, told me it was the mass air flow sensor, so instantly bought a new one overnighted it and BAM after installing same freaking issue. High Idle. Now another note to this diagnosis when I first pulled over to see why engine was idling high I first looked at the accelerator cable and saw right next to it was a grey cable connector and after sending good Mechanic friend pic he said it was cruise control cable. That was FREELY hanging unconnected to the small Metal joint Attached to throttle. I reattached hoping that would help but that did nothing. The accelerator cable it intact. Any suggestions as to what I should check and in what order to eliminate the frivolous spending such as the new mass air flow sensor that didn't fix anything. I do know However a 23 year old Mass Air Flow probably wasn't a bad fix anyway, but as it wasn't the cause and effect of the current issue I could have spent that 200.00 more wisely.
So again, any ideas and suggestions are welcome. I've wanted to own a mustang since I was a little boy. This one is in fair condition, needs TLC for sure, but for the price I got a great little project car to start developing my tuning skills. I won't lie, I never tuned American, I used to tune my Jap traps but am done with the little boy cars. I love the shake and rumble my baby puts through me daily and am missing driv8ng her already. Thanks for the help.
