I would follow jrichkers advice, there is a wealth of information in the links he posts.
Nobody is discrediting you, all knowledge is welcome!He can follow anybody info he likes..i know what works for me..some stuff can't be learn in a book or on a site..some stuff comes from doing. It has worked for me for 15 years as a ford tech and plus i have own a few mustangs ..and not to say i'm perfect..but i was just giving my advice. If i joined this site to help people why wouldn't i give my own advice. Not to say i'm right and not to say nobody wrong..everybody just has different ways of doing stuff.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.Nobody is discrediting you, all knowledge is welcome!
jrichker is just the typical guy to listen to. Though I often see people join the site, post once asking for help, and jrichker will give them a check list and then you never hear from them again.
Probably look at it and decide they rather take it to a shop.
I'm not discrediting anybody's input, I think that everyone agrees that all input is welcome. The more info the better.He can follow anybody info he likes..i know what works for me..some stuff can't be learn in a book or on a site..some stuff comes from doing.

Anytime!Thanks for the vote of confidence.
They either fix the problem very quickly or get scared off...I use a checklist procedure because there are so many variables and things not said that it is very often difficult to tell what's going on. Overall, it saves time, sweat and skin, even if it is a little intimidating at first.
FYI, I have been DIY fixing cars for 49 years and the last 20 of that has been with 5.0 fox body EFI Mustangs. Stangnet has greatly contributed to my knowledge of auto repair because it makes me stop and think about how it really does work. I get to help fix things I'd never see in real life - too busy with my real job, fixing computers.
Adjust the idle to what idle speed you like or 750-800 and let your engine warm up ..then disconnect both battery cables for 30 min then reconnect both cables. Then start the engine and let it idle then drive around for about 20 min then turn your car off for a few mins then start it again. Check your idle speed..by then with a warm engine it should be at about 800-850. The real test will be on cold start up..but doing this should help idle and the stalling.

So what if it fails the cold start up stall test until it gets warmed up? Then what?
