alright, my friend is having a problem with his 2000 gt. we have no idea what it is. sometimes when he starts his car up in the morning it wont stay running if he just lets it idle. and every once in a while you get a strong smell of gas inside the car and a lot of white smoke from the tail pipes>>not sure if thats just because its cold. any suggestions are appreciated. thanks

Same here...the IAC is one thing that will cause it not to idle. You can clean it but is only a temporary fix.
