Exclamation Car is ****ed up...

Couple problems with the mustang

1. on SOME cold start-ups the car will hesitate hard and have a really rough idle. The car idles at right above 500 and the rpm's will lope up and down, eventually the car will die.

2. sometimes the car will miss at idle and then go away leading me to believe that it is not a COP.

3. After hard acceleration, i will put the car in neutral and coast to a stop. most times the car will die afterwards.

Any suggestions for any of the problems listed would be a big help guys. Thanks in advance.

Your car is sniper tuned...what is the current idle rpm's set at? On my car, it would also die on me sometimes when I'm in neutral, but replacing the IAC helped a little bit, but then my car was dyno tuned and I noticed the idle rpm was raised to about 1k. The car's rpms would still drop sometimes, but it doesn't completely die out on me nearly as much.
