Bought my first mustang this past week and looking forward to get it on the road . Have a couple of issues I’ll be digging through this forum for some tips on

once the car warms up it idles rough

and once in a while the throttle sticks between 1-2k at idle

Welcome! Before you get too crazy testing and replacing parts, make sure you clean the maf sensor. That little guy can cause all sorts of havoc! As for you hanging idle, check for vacuum leaks and take a look at the throttle plate. Make sure it's moving freely. Might need a little tlc. They can also get dirt built up around the plate and not let it close completely.

Post up some pics when you can!
