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 first stang, a 95 gt, when i first start it, it will idle at about 600-800, then if i rev it at an idle it will drop to about 400- or 500 and sound like it wants to stall, it also hesitates while driving, i had it checked out on a computer, it showed that the o2sensors were to low, but the mechanic said i had a vacuum leak, i took the advice of everyone on this page and replaced all of the rubber boots on the vacuum lines, and sealed them with silicon, still does it, i changed the plugs and wires yesterday, and it still does it, im really stumped here, could it be the o2sensors? if it is i can get them cheap, but do you need a special tool to get them off?
Wouldn't hurt to change the O2 sensors, though I don't think that's your problem. Check to make sure all the grounds are connected. Check fuel pressure with a gauge. Check IAC (on throttle body).
