Ford Mustang: 5.0 not running too good... More Info

Re: 5.0 not running too good... More Info
OK, so I started up my car today, without the AC on, and it did the 2500rpm
rev thing!
It started fine, idled for a few seconds, then revved to 2500, held for
about 4 seconds, then dropped back to 1000.
So, if it's doing this with or without the AC on, where should I look for
the problem?
Thanks,
John

Sorry...
someone should have responded to that by now
You probably have a sensor out of range, have the codes read out.
If no codes, look at the TPS
Also check all harness ground point, particularly at the PCM pas side kick
panel. All sorts of weird effects when this is loose or corroded.

Sounds to me like the ol' bad BAP sensor engine surge thing.
Just changed one of them barometric dohickies on a five-oh.
Cured the problem lickity split.
Expensive little bugger, though. About $120 from FoMoCo.
Cleaning the ten pin connectors dosen't hurt none, either.

Good idea about the BAP...but that's onna those things that's either good or
bad... not really a wear item.
And there's thousands of those in the junkyard looking for new homes.
