New Here need some info on a probleam
IM NEW HERE SO BARE WITH ME PLEASE i have a 96 mustang gt o/r h pipe and flowmasters
few months ago my car was boging and idleing rough
people say it was the IAC going out but i dont think that is the problem
i took it to a auto shop they said that the car is fine and i should
tighten up (this was a few months ago and plus its been cold here and
snowing dont have a place to work in ) the belt tensioner/idler pulley
well then i heard the iac is bad and such but there is whine coming from
the front of the engine which i think its that pulley why im losing power
because the car stalled out on me back in october when i was coming out of
a parking lot that had a slight hill.
and it has surges the battay gauge and oil gauge will fluctuate when it idles and
the runs around 500-700 RPM'S (but sometimes the rmp's will go up and down
when i put it in gear and when im stoped at a light) is that normal?
i have checked the alt. and such and i still dont know the problem is
so is it the belt tensioner or IAC or both lol

i know this might sound ridicules but when my alternator went my car did some of the things you said (stalled and i had to drive it home at 25mph it was bad). maybe the wine is a belt slip so your car cant make the amps? or its just bad? if you have a tester why not just test the alternator see if its working right.
