05 Mustang GT: No start

[BLAKE]

Well, we're waiting?

Hahah, thanks! Got it back today and it's running great. Best the mechanic could tell me is that either the AIC is toast (which is unfortunate because it's integral to the Edelbrock throttle body) and/or the tune needs adjustment. Or... It could be nothing because the throttle body was dirty.

Which scenario do you place your bet on?

Edit: that said, I didn't get a chance to romp on it to look for the stumble. I'm just glad it starts.

I'm not sure how this is relevant, but the AIC has been toast since Layne died, dude.

Yeeeeah, IAC.

Sent from my fat fingers.

Well, if he took the TB/IAC unit off and cleaned it, I'm going to have to assume that the entire air intake assembly is dirty too. Maybe someone over oiled the air filter. If thats the case you might want to buy a few cans of carb cleaner and a small can of electrical contact cleaner and spray down what you can. The latter is for the MAF electronics. I would clean the filter and re-install or if paper (which I doubt) install a K&N. I believe I may one in my garage for a factory box.

[BLAKE]

Good points. Really appreciate your input on this. BTW, it's not lost on me that you posted up suggesting a dirty throttle body/MAF almost immediately. I looked, but apparently not well enough.

[Rick Modena]

Oh yeah no probs, broskin, were here for each other.

Even a real dirty paper filter will get the air intake trackt dirty (oily) or like I said a over oiled k&n filter or not properly maintained one will have the same effects. Supercharger engines push a lot of air through and air filters need to be maintained properly or they will not function correctly.

You might want to look into getting a oil separator for the PCV hose(s) coming from the valve cover too.

Hmmm, that's a good idea. Thanks again man.

Just a quick note as a follow up...

1: Car runs great now that it has a good tune on it. (Thanks Gearheads!)
2: While swapping out the ricey tail lights I found a KB boost-a-pump module in the spare tire well, so that's nice.
