Runs rough 2000 mustang 3.8L v6, runs rough especially when warm, doesn't want to idle, low power have to keep rpm's up

  • thomasawyer Mar 17, 2009

    After a second warm start I have the same problem! These are all the solutions I have just surfed for to fix my 2000 Mustang 3.8.

    1. Replace EGR Valve.

    2. Check or replace Ignition Coil.

    3. ACT or ECT reading incorrectly.

    4. Clean MAF and Throttle Body.

    5. Replace IAC (Idle Air Controller)

    6. Replace Fuel Filter.

    7. Check DPFE Sensor.

    8. Replace O2 Sensors(both sides).

    9. Replace Spark Plug Wires.

    10. Check Temp Sensor - not the sensor for the gauge but the sensor for the computer.

How long have you had this problem? It could just be a bad tank of gas. Other things to check:
1. fuel pump and filter
Could be running on only 5 cylinders due to
2. spark plugs/wires
3. plugged fuel injector
Any problems with electrical? Like lights dimming at same time as running rough?
4. could be bad alternator putting excessive load on engine.

Idling is too slow at 500 rpm.......think about at least 650 rpm to charge the battery and keep up inertia for better take-off power.

Did you properly gap the plugs when you changed them? Improper spark will cause really rough idling at low RPM like that.
