My 87GT (surprising, I know) has been parked in an outdoor garage for about five years. Maybe 2 years ago was the last time I tried starting it; today I tried again. After some help from a battery booster, she turned right over, revved up to about 2k rpms, then stalled about 2-3 seconds later. This is the same thing that happened two years ago when I tried to start her.
I also seem to recall the car idling very high (1500-2300?) right before it was parked and/or during the garage time.
Being that I've been out of the Mustang game for so long, I really have no idea where to start troubleshooting. I just know I want to get this fixed - I can't hand the car off to get a new tranny until I figure this out!
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I apologize for not utilizing the Search thoroughly this time - I've been going about 18 hrs/day at work this week
