Dying at complete stop

My brother n law has a 2000 GT that keeps dying at complete stops. Ford told him that it was fuel injectors so he replaced them but its still doing it no one can figure it out. No codes are coming up. Any ideas?

RE: Dying at complete stop

it could be the IAC they are known to going bad and if it is very dirty it will stall your engine becuase as soon as it drops under so many rpm the car cant keep back up to running so u can try cleaning it with some brake cleaner or just buy a new one they are arounf 60 bucks at autozone

The IAC sensor was already been replaced. All the sensors are new except EGR and intake air temp sensor.

Changed the fuel filter with NOS install was really bad, New Vortec 255L PH at 70 PSI max fuel pump from summit, and 19lb high flow ford racing injectors and improved MAF sensor.

Get some throttle body cleaner and take off your air filter pipe and so on. Open the butterfly and SPray the throttle body cleaner inside of the throttle body and remove all of the carbon buildup. As much as your finger and scrub and cleaner can clean. That solved the problem on mine.

RE: Dying at complete stop

Explain "improved MAF sensor", there's nothing wrong with the OEMMAF up to 350+ HP--if you've installed something much bigger than the stock unit without re-tuning then the engine might die at complete stops...
