Start Engine RPM drops and engine goes off HELP!
I got a problem. I start the ignition and the car cranks however as soon as I let my foot of the gas RPMs drop to zero and the engine shuts off. I could drive technicaly ,but always maintaining RPM. Whats wrong ?? I`m unable to keep on gas all the time. My engine does not maintain RPMs at iddle.

my best guess would be the butterfly valve on your throttle body is completly cutting off the air to the engine. all u have to do is adjust the tension on the throttle cable and your set to go

I'm thinking more of a MAF issue. Make sure your connection is good to your MAF... If so, take it out and clean it, that might help you... also, check for vaccum leaks.

I`m a novice and it is gonna sound lame , but what area should I focus on ? I got picture of my throttle body and surroundings. Can anyone instruct me what to do ? Jeez I`m not gonna be able to get to work. I`m so dead!

IAC valve, don't worry about your MAF sensor or your butterfly valve.
Refer to my sticky post in 4.6 Mustang.

I have posted the pictures of my engine bay. Please circle the places I have to check/clean/replace in order to start my baby again. It sounds like it wants to start, but if I do not maintain RPM by pressing accelerator pedal it will not idle by itself.

I cleaned this part , but still nothing 
Do you think they would have a replacement at AutoZone ? I`ll find out tomorrow 
Do you have any idea what this black **** on an IAC is for ?
