Ok I drove my 2000 3 hours no problem on the interstate. I had sat at several stop lights when I got into town no problem. But I sat at a light several blocks from my house and it started shuttering for a second or two and died. I put it in neutral and it cranked over no problem. It ran a tiny bit rough so I kept on the gas alittle to insure it wouldn't stall out again. So I got it home popped the hood and nothing looked wet or anything. I did drive about a hour in the rain. It almost felt like a fuel delivery issue or as if I unplugged a vacuum hose. It isn't a vacuum problem because it ran fine before and after. It died so fast and didn't give me any warning at all. I have had for awhile now a serious bogging issue when the car is cold. Once it gets up to normal operating temp it is better. Some days if it is cooler out it won't bog down at all when it is cold. It is only on take from a stop that is bogs. Could these two things be related? I drove it today no problems. I checked for codes nothing. It got what is usually gets on the interstate for gas mileage and I just changed out the fuel filter last month. What do you guys think?

Check your TPS voltage. Mine was way out of whack and caused my car to run like ass, but the computer wasn't throwing a code for it.2011 Mustang GT Premium, MT82, Kona/Saddle, HIDs, 3.73s, 19s, hood/side stripes, UPR 1.5" springs with adjustable panhard bar, and UMI solid LCAs and relocation brackets.

Do you have a Chilton/Haynes? It should have a troubleshooting section.2011 Mustang GT Premium, MT82, Kona/Saddle, HIDs, 3.73s, 19s, hood/side stripes, UPR 1.5" springs with adjustable panhard bar, and UMI solid LCAs and relocation brackets.

Ya I scanned it today with my xcal 2. Nothing. You know my IAC is funky. In the winter it will do the typical die on cold starts but it wasn't too bad yet. I was going to replace that this coming winter, so maybe I will look into that sooner now.2000 Mustang GT "Blondie", 2000 CVPI "Sargent Crusty"Comment

Well good luck with that. I was disappointed to hear that you were having problems and couldn't make the trip to Scottfest. Hope you get it fixed, mang.Originally posted by zwack88My car is a Shelby SVT Cobra GT Boss Grand Marquis Type RComment

Ive said it before and I"ll say it again, your car is alive. It was afraid you'd like a box better than it at scottfest. Also your IAC does the same shit mine does.Chris - A 20th Century Man \m/ ^.^ \m/Comment
