    Mustang wont start

    ....i went out today and fired it up, and it started acting funny so i shut it down, and when i went to try starting it again....it wont....its trying to turnover but who knows? could this have something to do with sitting in the cold and not running for a couple days? thanks alot, clark.

    Check the line going into your intake that comes off the idle air control valve. it may have some loose.

    definitely, the IAC could be a possiblity, but the CEL could still be something else right? Think it'd be a good idea to get a scanner run over it to make sure the cats (or lack thereof) is the only thing setting off the CEL?

    She will definitely be able to thaw out those fuel lines IF they're iced up!
