If my car had a neck, I'd strangle it!
 
OK, maybe not strangle it but she's really upsetting me! Beauty is a 99 GT and recently I'm having problems with her when it is chilly out side. While rolling to a stop (like 2 MPH when the engine temp is low) the tach will flucuate between 1 and .5 on the tach then she will die. This will happen up to 3 times everytime... I can only avoid it by reving while stopping. So some one tell me... WHATS WRONG WITH MY CAR?!?!? http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...rd/biggrin.gif

Surging. I've heard of it before but not with the 99s.

I'd just take it back cause it's under warranty. Run a computer check.

My 95 GT was doing that last week when it was a little colder at night. It's fine now. If it only happens when the car is cold, let it warm up http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...oard/smile.gif.

How full do you keep your tank when it's cold outside? It could be as simple as condensation in the fuel. It'd be worth putting in a .99 bottle of heat just to be sure.

I was having a similar problem. In the mornings when I would start it and take off immediately I would have a slight idle problem/fear of stall. Just let it warm up for a minute, blip the gas once or twice to bring the idle down, and everything should be okay.
