hey guys hope somebody can help me well here is where it all started i baught the car a couple days ago its a 1996 mustang saleen clone, the engine is almost brand new it has 26000 miles on it with windsor heads and bullit intake manifold along with vortech supercharge and a bunch of other mods that are to much to list over $40000 to be exact, the car was running fine super strong i drove it last night and it was running fine i was having a little fun with it yesterday didnt go over 85 and when the night was done went back home turned it off everything was fine, i started it in the morning it started fine i heard the supercharger and everything it was idleing fine, then i go to pull out of my drive way as soon as i put the car in reverse it just shuts off on me, my pops heard and he gave it gas from under the hood and then the car ran fine again i went to my friends house to ironically pick up the speedster cover for it because i had left it there, i turned the car off it started fine again like it should, i drove about three miles going back home and i would stop at red lights car was idleing fine, then at one of the stops the car just shuts off and didnt start again, it would start then shut off and it would make a pop pop noise when i pushed the gas only sometimes, I Had to CaLL A freakin tow truck!!! HELP ME PLEASE ANYONE

 

Does it stay running if you're giving it gas? And is it an automatic? If it's stalling out I'd check the decay rate. And see if someone did a Iac Mod. Thats where I'd start.

 

yes its an automatic but with a ratchet tranny setup its kind of like a hybrid stick/auto and the car did stay running when giving it gas, not anymore though

 

Idle air control valve. attached to your plenum

 

i ran the codes on the car and its coming up mass air flow sensor, clogged fuel injector, or something about my fuel purge line being plugged or my evap pressure sensor anymore help would be greatly appreciated or im just gonna have to take it in to the shop

 

i sprayed starter fluid inside the manifold through where the IAC go's and the car started but i had to keep giving it gas it seems like theres not enough gas going in there, it stayed on but i had to rev it, oh and also on one of the codes that came up it said it could also either be ignition misfire, oxygen sensor defective or fuel injector, and it said something about auxilary emission car is running to rich or to lean minus -7 something like that

 

clean the iac

 

you guys sure its something as simple as the iac it didn't even come up in the codes when i ran the computer, it said it could be the mass air flow sensor would that have something to do also with the iac

 

guys is it possible when i baught the car the car had an empty tank it was running for a while on red because it took me a while to get to a gas station could the fuel pump have messed up or a fuel line gotten clogged with something could that be why it doesnt stay on

 

Not likely. If you had contaminants in the tank that were going to clog up the fuel system, it would happen no matter how much gas was in the tank. Reason for not letting the tank run low all the time is to keep the in tank fuel pump cool. It has to be submerged in gas to keep temp under control, but once in a while isn't going to kill it. As far as pulling codes goes, realize that the computer can't "think" for itself. Sometimes a minor problem with one sensor will affect things downstream. As with any problems, start with basic, simple stuff.
