Idle problem 87 mustang 2.3 eng. when i first crank the engine rpm goes up to 15/1600, after 1 or 2 minutes rpm drops below 1000 and engine stall. It need to be cranked 3 or 4 times for the problem to go away. it happens in the morning and after you stop the engine. If

All the above is normal , except 2000rpm is a little high at idle . can be adjusted down to 1500rpm. the computer adjusts the engine speed . in drive the transmission loads up the engine idle drops to 1000rpm . in park engine unloaded rpm increase all normal.

There is an idle advance sensor, which increase the idle speed when the A/C is switched on, to stop the car stalling on tick over because of the load the A/C pump puts on the engine. The sensor may be giving wrong information to the ECU.

No,only on carburated engines it,idles down to the set point,on yours,it's fuel injected,pushing gas pedal won't kick idle down,should go down after a certain amount of time,does it automatically,If you start and drive a 5 mile ride and stop at a stop sign,it should idle at it's set point if there's no engine problems,which may be.5 to .7 on your tac.When you normally first start,it will idle between 1000 to 1200 rpm's,don't push on gas,let idle say 15 seconds,put in drive and go.

Thanks.

The engine coolant temperature is high. Your other Codes are for missing cylinders on cylinder 1,2,3,and 4. Get the Codes cleared and start over. Changing the plugs and wires,etc could have generated the missing cylinder Codes.

Autozone,Advance, and Oreilys will scan for free.

Check your engine for an IDLE SPEED CONTROL SOLENOID, which may be in the intake. Or a fuel pressure regulator.

A lot of times people work on the spark side and forget the fuel injectors. They can cause a miss.

Hold the idle at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes then drop it to 1500 for 2 minutes and then 1000 for 2 minutes, then let it return to idle for 5 minutes. Full relearn requires some driving as well, mixed low and highway speed and idle time.

let me know what vehicle you are needing help with then i may be able to help

, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

the engine compensates for the load try turning up the idle screw also check the ignition system you might just need new wires and or cap rotor or your coil is bad also plugs

Throttle body, IAC or EGR valve.
