What is wrong with my vehicle

Asked by Reba May 16, 2018 at 04:44 PM about the 2005 Ford Mustang V6 Premium Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I was driving down the road an came to a stop at a stop
sign an I heard this weird kind of squeak didn’t think
anything of it because my mustang never did it plus there
were vehicles that were passing me so I kept driving got
to a gas station was fine then started to drive again An my
foot was fully on the gas petal but it felt like I was playing
with it going fast then slowing down then it stopped so I
made another turn an as im almost home about two
maybe three miles from my house I started to notice that
my rpms were dropping at a very high speed an my car
came to a complete stop luckily no one was behind me
had to put it in park took the key out waited a few minutes
started it back up got it home had my mother in law take a
tester to it because when it stopped the engine light came
on plus the battery but my engine was off but all my lights
an radio were still on plus i have a brand new battery in
my car so I truest don’t think it is my battery but nothing
showed up with any codes because when I turned the car
off an turned it back on the lights went off so we took it
for a drive nothing happened so I got back home getting
ready for work an about to leave for work I had my car
idling while I get everything situated in my car An the rpms
start to drop again so I gave it a little push to the gas petal
an it became normal so I still had it in park an I called my
mother in law again An as I am on the phone with her it
stalls out again with both the engine light an the battery
light on but all my lights an everything are working but my
engine I don’t know what is causing it an I can’t check it
unless the lights come back on again please someone
help me

I would try to condense that down to just the facts. If the check engine light is on have the trouble codes read and post them here. Try your local auto parts store.
