I have a 98 GT 5 spd. When I come to a stop sign or red light the car shakes a little. The rpms don't drop just an annoying shudder or shake. Any ideas what might be causing this. Thanks in advance.</P>

I'd look into a tune up.

Hey mine did the same thing. I had a failing mass air sensor and the air inlet control unit was bad, but it did that for a long time. I know a lot of stangs that do that. I think its just special to ford mustangs. Also if your idle is tuned to be low you might want to raise it a little from the screw on the throttle body.

Start out with a tune-up. Then go from there.

Well that takes a load off my mind. Guess a tune up wouldn't hurt either. Thanks for all the replies.</P>
