Try cleaning the mass air flow sensor.

Check tat the cold air intake filter is not too close to the radiator cooling fan. If it picks up any kind of airflow from he fan it will drive the MAF sensor crazy. THis hapened to me once.

i got some cleaner and cleaned tha maf and it didnt do anything different and the filter is no where near the fan so were good there also i did run it down the road with maf sensor unhooked and it ran great for about 10 minuites except for as we all know it wont idle right without th maf hooked up but it opened up and ran fine for like i said about 10 min and started bogging down again and it was getting dark so ijparked it. tomorrow im gona try pulling the distrubitor and checking my ecm and the plate that bolts down the distributor and check my fuel filter and pump pressure thanks everyone and any other ideas you have im all ears i miss driving my baby and just totaled my 99 convertible so this one is all i got left. Thanks

my 1988 mustang gt convertible usually runs great but sometimes it idles up and down and will even die. the problem stops when i accelerate but will continue at cruising speed. sometimes it does not happen for days, then when it happens it can last for a few seconds up to a day. i have replaced the cap, rotor, plugs, wires, fuel filter and egr valve. it feels like a vacuum issue, but i do not think a vacuum issue would come and go like this. i am lost! please help 4 answers

My 90 GT Conv't has an idle problem. Only when it ain't been cranked up in a while. I have to crank it up and immediately hit the gas pedal or it will die. Is it the idle control sensor? 17 answers
I think it has a cam in it, but it started doing this about 3-4 months ago. I have had the car since Feb but had no problem with it.

My 2010 Mustang did this a little last year and a lot this year:when it gets warm outside and the car's been sitting outside, when I start it, hot air will blow through the vents. 3 answers
when it's warm out, my Mustang has hot air blowing out the vents but when the day is a little cooler, the air circulation is normal. What can this be. Just started last year.
