i swapped motors in my 2002 mustang gt. The motor was out of a 2001 mustang gt. Whenever I start my car it will idle but it idles really rugh and then will die. Recently it won't even want to get going I will put it in gear and start going but then it just chugs and doesn't want to go anywhere. When I turn it off and start I it again it goes then starts doing the same thing. This only accurs sometimes. It will always idle bad but when I get going it will do fine until I stop again. Any idea of what is causing this please help!!!!!!

Hey Thomas, welcome to Stangnet.

I'll move your thread over to the '96-'04 4.6 Tech subforum, You're bound to get some help there.

Hope you get it running smooth soon.

Which IAC valve did you use? The black vented version or the non-vented version? I believe the 2002 model year should use the non vented version. IF you have used the black vented version from the 2001, I could see that causing this problem.

Here's some more information on how to trouble shoot.
