Hi Tara Thave,

It sounds like you have a rich condition, that is there is more fuel than the engine can burn. I would start by getting the codes retreived from the computer.

I did have the codes read the only code it read was IAT sensor Idle air temp. I checked the EGR and it was good I replaced the mass air flow sensor, the idle air contral valve, all vac. lines and the purge canister solenoid. I have a new fule filter I am going to place tomorrow today when I worked on it when I started it and put it in reverce with my foot on the brake it would run for a moment then it would cut off I have no idea what to try next i mean it will run all day in park but as soon as i put it in drive it cuts off

Tara Thave, I won't kid you, your'e SWEET!! :D Or at least the sweetheart in the pic anyways. However it doesn't help the concentration!!! :twisted: :wink: So about that weed whacker.....errrr mustang. :shock: I'm not following the logic on the part replcement versus the codes exactly, but that may just be me. What code number exactly? Somewhere between po 112 to po117 I assume? Check the connections at the iac and the pcm seperatly or wiggling the connectors at those points for starters .
