The car is a 1990 GT 5.0 and we just finished installing a completely stock 5.0 motor out of another 1990 5.0 GT. The car runs fine but the only problem is that when I press the clutch pedal the cars idle goes way down and sometimes shuts off. Also everytime I start the car the idle jumps up to 3500RPM's and eventually it comes back down to 900 RPM's. Not sure if the two problems are related.Thanks
