[QUOTE="Teh99SVT, post: 9848431, member: 67561"] I'm going to start off by saying I'm not a mechanic, I just love mustangs. I'm having problems with my cobra's idle. First, it was idling very low to the point where it would bog and shut off. After cleaning the MAF and IAC and replacing the air filter, nothing changed. I took it to a local shop where the mechanic told me my alternator was bad. He ordered one, replaced it, then figured out it wasn't the alternator. He told me then I had a bad ground wire. Instead of ordering a new one, he rigged it to ground elsewhere. He returned the car to me and it ran perfect for a day. The following morning, it idled at 3 grand and wouldn't drop any lower. Driving it back to the shop was a little crazy w/ half open throttle... :fm: The following week, the car was returned to me working properly. Mechanic says he messed with the ground and replaced a bad 02 sensor. Today, the car reverts to acting the same after running correctly for a week. It starts, idles fine, and gradually idles up to 2-2.5k rpms and holds there. I have no idea what to do and feel like I need to attempt to fix this myself. Any info or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!! [/QUOTE]
