help
 
:censored: if anyone knows how to fix a sticking idle please let me know. I have put a new throttle body, and checked everything, but it seems to still be sticking. It doesn't do it all the time, but when it does it doesn't go below 1000, it's about 17 to 2000. anyway, if anyone know's or has any suggestions please let me know...thanx..

did you check the tps to see if it had any breaks in the voltage?

88stang302ho 03-08-2006 11:23 AM

yes
 
i have checked the tps, i have checked the throttlebody, and have even replaced both. I don't know, i pretty much went over every inch of this car, including vacuum lines, except the ones inside the fender on the pass. side, does it have those like the old 85? any info is appreciated...:bash:

this same thing happened to me and my friend. it was my idle air controller.... i cleaned it out with some carb cleaner and it has worked fine ever since then... if it is the stock one you will see a bunch of carbon build up type of thing inside.... but you may need to buy a new 1, but hopefully not.

well, that fixed the problem, thanx for the info.

On another note my friends mustang, (89 fastback 5.0)
his pump, fuel pump won't turn off, do you think that, that is the problem, or that there is something else. I mean, literally i had to disconnect the batt to keep it off. And it bogs real bad when driving. So any info let me know...thanx...
