could be your throttle positioning sensor, if its showing no codes you may need to take it to the dealership.

are there and mods or tunes on it?

Default Same issue

I have a 2004 V6 mustang. Mustang is a little loud and we changed the exhaust manifold gasket, which we had to take the plugs off to do. We put three spark plugs back (in order), now it will turn over but spits and sputters and tries to die. Could there be some grease on one if the plugs that could be causing this?

we checked them over and over, so i don't think that's the problem. We checked for a crack in the manifold as well, nothing.

My 2008 did this and it turned out to be the MAF sensor. I bought a can of MAF spray cleaner, cleaned it and it started.
Hope this helps
