need some help
Alright heres whats up. i own a 2000 mustang gt. couple bolt ons here and there. a couple months ago i started to get some idling problems. after doing around 70mph for a while then coming to a stop my car would idle a little weird. it would drop down below 500rpms jump up to a 1000 and then find its way back to around the 800 range. i didnt really think much of it, but since ive been off from college ive had time to check it out. i thought it was the idle air controller. my cars got 95,xxx miles on it and supposedly that controller can go bad. went to ford got a new one for $112 [:@] put that in nothing really changed. next i went to the egr valve. tried to clean that out the best i could. still no change. i was driving home after i did all of this, put the car in nuetral, let it roll down to 5 mph or so then it just stalled out. im thinking now it has nothing to do with the intake/throttle body/plenum area of my car but some fuel problem. any suggestions in what to try next???

RE: need some help
If you haven't done so already, try changing your spark plugs, and if you have wires, change them as well. Maybe also a fuel system cleaner and check your air filter. Try the simple stuff first.
