Guest Hal Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm trying to get my car finished and everything just keeps going wrong. I went to start it today and it would idle for a second (literally) then stall. If I tried to give it any amount of throttle it stalled immediately. I pulled the belt from the blower to see if the problem was there, and to my surprise, the blower pulley was spinning. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

Stimmel1647545512 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Well I dont know for sure by my buddys 03 GT was doing the similar stuff, turned out to be a IAC valve and I had a car that did the same thing as well but was a fuel pump, In the last year I have replaced about 12 IAC valves on newer fords Just my input hope it helps -Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 if your iac is bad you can unplug it and the car should idle off preset tables. I'd check fuel pressure and check all vacuum connections also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 That's my goal for tomorrow. I'm also wondering if it can be the MAF. The only things different from the last time it ran are: it has coolant, power steering fluid, and the MAF is connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 it should also run with the maf unplugged.... make sure the heated wire is clean and free of debris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 it should also run with the maf unplugged.... make sure the heated wire is clean and free of debris wrong ...it will run and die, if the maf is unplugged. it hasnt ran, too have data to fall back on and go into limp in mode and keep running.

verse Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Do you need a larger fuel pump for those injectors and other supporting mods you have? I have no idea with a Mustang, but checking the fuel pressure could find the root to the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99BlownYellowGT Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Vacuum problem maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I believe it is in the tune I have in it. The MAF is huge compared to stock, and it will run on the preset tables with the MAF unplugged. Now I have another problem, when I turn the wheel or press the brake I get a grinding noise. I'm not a steering/hydroboost expert, but, is this probably just fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 is this probably just fluid? or lack there of, sounds like air in the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
