since yesterday afternoon i noticed at a green light that my car was hesitating at low rpm's and would continue throughout the gears...
i know this isnt a mustang specific forum but there are alot of guys here with alot of experience that i think could help..
i was installing my n2o kit and wired up some connections but never got around to finish it...i might end up taking it off now b/c im so discouraged about this...
i parked it after i noticed the problem let it cool then sprayed some maf cleaner on the maf and let it sit for a few hours...drove it to labelle for school and back no problem:redspotd...
this morning i drove in town and on my way home it starts over again...
i cleaned the maf again but nothing worked...im starting to think i forgot to plug something back in but i never really did anything to itbut wire some connections for the window switch and purge kit...
i uploaded a shitty blackberry video for reference...
idle doesnt really show it but the needle jumps up and down the whole time from 1k to 800rpms

If i recall correct, your car is high on mileage. You may want to clean your idle air control valve, if you have one.

I'm not that familiar with Mustangs, but that has caused many an idle issue with Hondars.

I vote IAC as well. Mines bad on the Jeep, but I'm having the opposite issue, intermittently sitting at 2800 at idle.
