my 1988 mustang gt convertible usually runs great but sometimes it idles up and down and will even die. the problem stops when i accelerate but will continue at cruising speed. sometimes it does not happen for days, then when it happens it can last for a few seconds up to a day. i have replaced the cap, rotor, plugs, wires, fuel filter and egr valve. it feels like a vacuum issue, but i do not think a vacuum issue would come and go like this. i am lost! please help 3 Answers

My 90 GT Conv't has an idle problem. Only when it ain't been cranked up in a while. I have to crank it up and immediately hit the gas pedal or it will die. Is it the idle control sensor? 17 Answers

I think it has a cam in it, but it started doing this about 3-4 months ago. I have had the car since Feb but had no problem with it.
