I have a 91 Gt with H/C/I. When i start it up it acts like a damn carburator. I have to press the gas for like 20 sec to keep it from dying. Once i do that it seems to run fine. Any ideas as to what could be wrong with it? Also whenever I am driving and turn on my a/c and downshift to come to a stop my car dies. anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing that to happen? Or do i just own a bucket ass mustang any help would be appreciated
ps I tried to adjust the throttle body but it did the exact same thing the next day. I even disconnected the battery and everything [ November 26, 2005, 11:56 PM: Message edited by: 91 5.0 5speed ]

Check engine light does not work. But I might try that to see what happens

If you have a big idle surge, it will most likely solve your problem.
