Wont stay running

Hi everyone,

I am curious what you would think my issue is before I start digging into the car tomorrow. This is a 2001 AUTO GT with very few mods (4.10 gears, K&N, basic tune with tuner) with 82k. The car will start fine rpm up and then die. Will continue to do this several times until I give it some gas. As soon as I let off the gas it will die even after driving a few minutes. After a few more minutes everything is fine (no more dieing). This is a randon event that happend a few times a week. I have changed the fuel filter, but it was 2 years ago.
Do you all believe this is likely a fuel problem?
Thanks all, have a great Thanksgiving!
Steve

Wm,


Thanks for the post. I followed along and found the problem to be the IAC. I replaced it with an Autozone unit and there is no more stalling and eratic idle. Now upon each start the car revs high (2200-2500) and then back down. I doubt this is right, is there an adjustment that I need to make after replacing the IAC?

Thanks.

I paid around $60 for it. You believe that the unit is bad, causing the "rev up"? Guess I should have bought the Ford unit, ugggh.
