RE: Running like s***
I would clear the code and see if it comes back, If it does pick up a new stock oil pressure sensor and replaceit. Then again reset the code and see if it comes back. I am betting that you do need to replace your stock sensor.

At ideal the car sounds like it has cams in it, but it dose not. The ideal is moving from 800 to 1,000rpm. It should read 1,000rpm. If I come to a stop, it goes down to 400rpm and I can put my foot on the gas pedal to the floor and nothing. About 20 secants later it goes up to 1,000 and shacks. The car is shacking like crazy. The motor is shacking and the fuel gauge is moving from 25 to 35 psi. It should be at 30psi. I give it a little gas and it smooths right out. What could it be? I think is a one the ideal sensors. I for got how to check for codes. Something to do with the holding down the trip as you turn the key. It gives me all this stuff but I do not know what it means. Where can I find out what is means? It looks like it mite have 4 code but I'm not shore till I know what I'm looking at.
Thanks, Mike

Damn. Could you do me a favor? Could you rewrite your post with a dictionary and check your spelling? I really want to help, but I'm not sure what in the world you're asking. I don't mean to be a dick, really. I just can't understand you.

RE: Running like s***
OK! Thanks! First off: A V8 mustang should not be idling at 1000rpms, unless it's warming up, or the A/C is working overtime. Now, you say that when you come to a stop, the car drops to 400 rpms. That in itself is completely normal. 400-600 rpms is the proper idle rotation speed. However, you say you put your accelerator to the floor and nothing happens for 20 seconds?! Now, if it's 2-3 seconds, it could be a sensor, as you imagine. But if it's 20 seconds (that must feel like an absolute eternity) then you have a serious problem. It could just be that you need a new throttle body--the assembly and valve could be really horribly miscalibrated. It could also be a computer problem. Have you installed any chip mods or anything like that? Remember, 20 seconds--if you're overestimating here, it's a different story.

RE: Running like s***
And the IAC is located on the throttle body. See this post. All you ever wanted to know about the IAC. Pictures and all.

Again, if you're pressing the accelerator to the floor and nothing happens for 20 seconds, it can't be the IAC. 2-3 seconds, maybe.

I have s/c and it was tuned to idle at 1000rpm. No it takes like 10 seconds to come back up from 300 rpm to 800. With out putting my foot on the gas paddle. The car when at 300rpm it is running rich, the exhaust tips start to get wet. If I put my foot on the gas paddle when the car goes down to 300rpm it dose not come back up at all. Once I take my foot of the gas it takes a 10 seconds to go back up. I timed it today. When I shift the rpms drop to 300rpm, even if I'm doing 60mph, only when I put in the clutch. Here is list of mod with miles on them.
01 GT MOTOR 37,800 MILES
STOCK COMPUTER 3,000 MILES
WIRE HARNESS
RADIATOR
STARTER
POWER STEERING PUMP
SUPERCHARGER - SALEEN SERIES TWO ROTARY 18,000 MILES
AIR TO WATER INTERCOOLER - SALEEN 18,000 MILES
COLD AIR INTAKE 3,000 MILES
CUSTOM CALIBRATED MASS AIR METER 3,000 MILES
75MM THROTTLE BODY - BBK 3,000 MILES
FUEL 42LB INJECTORS - BOSH 3,000 MILES
SPARKPLUGS- 5,000 MILES
CUSTOM PROGRAM-PREDATOR 3,000 MILES
1 5/8" SHORT HEADERS - JBA 8,000 MILES
2.5" HI-FLOW CATS AND X PIPES - BASSANI 18,000 MILES
12" FLY WHEEL - COBRA 4,000 MILES
12" CLUTCH - MCLOUD STREET/STRIP CLUTCH 4,000 MILES
Sorry for the long post but I hope this helps. Here is what my motor looks like. This is the IAC the part I put a line around in the picture, right.
