Replaced flywheel and clutch. Changed rear end, transmission and engine oil. Replaced computer. Made a sunroof carrying pouch out of leather I had laying around.

I thought he was the site's MacGyver ... doing car repairs with chewing gum, spare change, duct tape and a Swiss Army knife.

Tried to start the 01 Roush today and it started but only stayed on with my foot on the gas. As soon as I took my foot of the gas the RPM's dropped and it shuts off immediately. No weird noises just shuts right off. Went to ford and bought a brand new battery since the battery was a little weak and 5 years old. Got home dropped in the new battery and it still does the same thing. I kept my foot on the gas for at least 5 mins hoping that would help but as soon as I took my foot off the gas pedal it shuts right down.

Anyone know what could be causing this? It is bone stock. Thanks

IAC is bad? Clogged fuel filter? Shot spark plugs?

Not knowing the last time one was done, tune-up time.

Could possibly be fuel pressure period, on cold starts the car requires the most fuel pressure. Could also be what was already stated also, might need to check it all out.

After you get it running right, take a few pics for us! When did you pick this one up?

Z282SLO · Post by **Z282SLO** » Sat Oct 26, 2013 6:05 pm

A picture-perfect fall day in the Northeast. Cleaned her up, changed the oil and blasted the cobwebs out of the exhaust pipes! Is it me, or does the car drive even better with brand new oil in it?

It was the IAC!!! Funny my 93 still has the original IAC. Took the teal for a quick spin.
