Well, I think all the things I listed are exactly where you need to look, IAC, MAF & TPS.
Rule those minor things out & then you can start pointing your finger at the big stuff...

I totally regret my car. Here's how it went for me.
1st week i got it the alternator went out
3rd week the front brakes went out
then the exhaust FELL OFF and i had a CRACK in the header
had the replace all my coil packs
Then the a/c went out
then the IAC was having problems
then, ofcoarse, the manifold cracked and the head blew out a plug.
Then the engine got rust in it so it had to be rebuilt
Then the clutch and flywheel went out.
So yeah ive spent like twice the cost of this car just in fixing it and thats not really counting performance mods [:@]

Ahhhh! One of my pet peves! They're coils, not coil packs. Why does that bother me so much?! Ha ha... Sorry to hijack but - Ben, where's the video man?!

Don't regret it a bit. I paid 10,9000 for a 2000 with only 10,000 miles on it. I had the PCM die out due to a bad coil pack, but Ford replaced it for free. My car has half the miles and is as fast/faster than my friends cars that they paid $20 +/- for. I could have had a Mach or even a cheap termy if I had spent that, but I am happy with my $240 month payment for my car.

Ive been having problems with my stang 8 months after I bought it. For some reason when i crank it up it would rev really low. It would shake and tremble as if its having a hard time taking in gas. It would then just die. So I would crank it up again and it would do the same thing. Before this issue got serious it would kind of stall but it would then start up. Im pretty sure it isnt my battery cause all my lights and radio works. I dont think its my alternator causemy engine would not even attempt to start but it does. Wutsup with my car? It has about 79k and I dont ever abuse it. Im about to trash it. Piece of s***!!!
