idle problem
What would be the problem when putting on the brakes or turing the wheel to cause the idle to get real rough and sometimes kill the eninge. is this just a bad power sterring pump or is a sensor out of wack. its my 98gt, if that makes a difrence

nope it only does it when im turning or braking. those two units are one on the mustang, because i know if you loose your brakes you loose your power steering too or vis-versa. is it a bad power steering pump, thats what im maybe thinking but im not sure.

RE: idle problem
the brakes run off hydroboost(which feeds off the power steering pump)on 96+stangs
Could be something like the pump or maybe the IAC isnt responding as quickly to increase air for the increased load, mine does it sometimes, never dies though and never is that noticble of a rough idle
also could be the hydroboost itself going out(hope not, SOB is expensive)
