What exactly is the "stalling" problem w/03's??

[jumpinjackflash]

Mine would stall on decel occasionally and always start right back up. I took it in for the computer re-burn and the dealer said I had the latest version.

They said the problem was the IAC (idle air control) valve and ordered a new one. It was installed yesterday and the car does feel better. No stalls so far and the idle seems smoother. No dips to 500, no surges to 1000, nice and steady. I'll post again if I have any more problems.

My 03 Cobra came out of the first batch and stalled on occasion
specially when it was cold but also did it after driving it a while.

I brought it to the dealer, but at that time they really did not know
much about the new 03 Cobras. So I just kept driving it. The
stalling seemed to go away but every now and then it would stall
as I approached a stop light or I slowed down below 500 rpms.

I definetely got better when I installed the Bassani Xhaust system. I now have 5,000 miles and it has only done it twice. I called 800-FORDSVT and I was told that there were a lot of complaints and that the SVT guys were comming out with an up-date for the computer program.... So I guess I am going to have mine reflashed now that the dealer where I purchased my car
is back from a mechanic strike.

That's life with a high performance engine!:beer:
