5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
i just bought my mustang a few month back a 1995 gt with 68,000 miles i put in new ford racing wires, autolite plugs, mgd cap and rotor,radiator and a upr cold air intake. my question is when i go to start it it seems to take a lot to get it going, i have to crank it for a few seconds before it catches. i dont know if this is normal or should it be a quick turn and it starts any suggestions would be greatly appreiciated. i am new to working on cars and and learning as i go,
the battery is new, so i dont think that is it, where is this iac motor and what could i do to clean it? do i use carb cleaner or do i have to use butterfly valve cleaner?
i removed the iac vavle and used butterfly cleaner it seemed to help, it is a little better and will do for now, but i can see possibly replacing later on when money allows...
