Default Need help with a 1998 Mustang



<FONT face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size=2>almost everytime i come to a red light the car stalls me, i have changed the O2 senors, check for exhaust leaks, check for vacuum leaks, and airleaks around the throttle body but nothing helps. If anyone has had this problem or could tell me any suggestions that would be great. i have new feul 42lbs fuel injectors going on there too along with a supercharger. So i need to get this fixed first.</FONT></P>

take it to ford and have them hook it up to the computer is the easiest. we could guess and check all day long it is the easiest and fastest.

i have the diagnostic tool and software, i don't remember the exact code but i have a list of the codes and i changed everything that it suggested and nothing help. The only thing that is left is the EGR valve, i have one on order but i took out the old one and cleaned. Nothing help and the ford dealership is pretty ignorant around here

Check your fuel filter. You might not be creating enough fuel pressure to get passed something that is blocking it at idle. Are you running an automatic or a manual transmission?

okay well thinks for the great help, all ford is going to do is charge $500 to give me a code that i can get myself( which i have) and then charge another $400 to fix it when i can do it in 20 min. Thanks but no thanks. anywaysI found the problem, it was the IRC vavle.
