The car will only start in neutral, it engages but then there are no revs whatsoever and it dies, after two or three attempts the battery dies. Any suggestions?
SOURCE: My '01 Mustang V6 revs high when in neutral/when changing gears.
sounds more like the IAC, Idle air control valve.. they can be cleaned with carb and choke cleaner gently...

mcdevito75 here, Sounds like the idle speed motor, Ford is known for these idle speed motors going bad, in the later stages the car races like crazy. have your repair shop check this idle speed motor and change it.
SOURCE: p2104 + p2112 car starts
P2104--Throttle Actuator Control System-forced idle
P2112--Throttle Actuator Control System-stuck closed
That could be anything from-----simply spraying the throttle
plate with CRC Throttle Body Cleaner,to Coil misfires ,coming
back on your TPS Sensor and setting your codes,to a bad
APP Sensor (accelerator pedal position sensor) to worse
case,a bad TACM (throttle actuator control motor)
The TACM you never want,because it requires a complete
new throttle body from Ford --for the tune of over $600 just for the
part. That forces you to install yourself ,which is easy.
Spray the throttle plate and let me know if you have other
codes for misfires.
I hope you do not, still have 4 or 5 year old spark plugs
still in that motor. Get them out of there
Clean the MAF Sensor---CRC MAF Sensor Cleaner
Start doing this work yourself. You can not afford a thousand
dollars per visit at a dealer. I as others will help you out.
