Default Rough/ puttering idle and dying solution

Hey everyone

I know some of you have had problems with your late model mustangs 99-04 with rough idle, dying out, bad starts, etc. I have the solution!
I have been having hte same type of problems with my car, so i brought it to my dealer. They looked at it and he said it was the "Idle Air Controller". Aparently this is a common problem in out cars. It controlls how much air gets in during idle, starting, and low rpm cruise. They have a tendency to stick, restricting the ammount of air getting in, causing the car to run like ****. So he replaced mine and bye bye problem! actually my throttle response, and revs got a lot quicker. Plus it was covered by warranty. Im pretty sure its a cheap part anyway. I hope ive brought solutions to some of you!

thanks
