#71 of 104 idle sensor by snkeastburn Mar 03, 2009 (4:29 pm)
2001 mustang gt   Im having to replace my idle sensor about every three months. The problems I have when it starts to go bad is it wont idle or it will try to idle and just die. If i take a hammer and hit the sensor it will idle for a few more days and go back to not idling. Does anyone know what the problem might be and what I can do t fix it??   Thanks,   Steven

I was looking at it while it was running and the fan came on and the car almost stalled out. any suggestion on a fix to this so i can buy it!   Thanks for any answers KURT

Replying to: clgcoach6 (Jul 01, 2008 2:39 pm) While I don't have an answer, I would like to add that my 99 mustang is doing the same thing. It squeals for days, and then as I'm about to take it in to have it looked at, the squealing stops. I waiting to see if it starts again. It only seems to squeal for a short time after I first start it, then kind of disappears as I'm driving.

#77 of 104 car won't start after shut off for short time by mikey_c2 Apr 23, 2009 (4:26 pm)
So this has happened to me maybe three, four times in the last two months. I would stop and go into 7-11, or walmart, or pickup pizza, and be in there for like 5 minutes. Come back out and my car won't start. It sounds as if its just not getting enough gas, it tries to start, and shows promise for about 1-2 seconds, but then stalls. However, if i wait about 20 minutes it will start right up like it never happened. What is the deal? Please help.

Replying to: mikey_c2 (Apr 23, 2009 4:26 pm) sounds like you have a bad coil, when its gets hot it will stop firing and 20 mins or so it may start. take a look at your coil.

Replying to: mikey_c2 (Apr 23, 2009 4:26 pm) Sounds like vapor lock but I didn't think that was possible with fuel injection. I don't think a bad coil would prevent it from starting. Next time try putting the accelerator all the way to the floor while cranking. Replies to this message: papasam1 (Apr 24, 2009 7:57 am) akirby (Apr 24, 2009 10:44 am) papasam1 (Apr 24, 2009 6:52 pm)

Replying to: akirby (Apr 24, 2009 5:50 am) A bad coil will do just what I said and the way that I said it. If the car is flooded then putting the accelerator on the floor may have done the trick but not in this case. Replies to this message: akirby (Apr 24, 2009 10:44 am) papasam1 (Apr 24, 2009 6:52 pm)
