well guys i was racing a modified EVO 8 and won but mid race my SES light came on i thought after i let the car cool off it may turn off but no luck. I havent gotten the code pulled yet but i am planning on doin so in the morning. anyone got any ideas on what may have cause the light to come on? My car is a 00 GT with a Saleen Speedlab Supercharger, 30# injectors, flowmaster exhaust, etc. etc.. hopefully that will help thanks.

Has your car been tuned? Are the O2 sensors turned off?

It's probably a sensor. But you might want to reset the codes and see if it comes on again after a few days of driving. You might get lucky.

Seriously though, just go get it checked out. Autoparts stores around your area may check your codes for free.

I doubt it's something major.

Go get the codes and we will be in a better position to offer an opinion/diagnostic.

P1506 Idle Air Control Over Speed Error.

probably means its time to clean or replace the IAC. if you havent replaced it yet, then it probably is time. have u noticed any problems with the cars idle?? like flux in RPMs when at idle, surging, stalling at idle or bogging down when given gas from a dead stop??

Yeah that could be the problem, those things have a tendency to malfunction on mustangs and other fords.

Don't replace it until you are sure.
