Exclamation 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?

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.

On another note my friends mustang, (89 fastback 5.0)
