What's up Mustang6G! CaptainRob91 here with a quick question/scenario. I'm sitting here at work in the parking lot with the Stang(Skylar) and she's a tad shaky and I'm noticing she's going back and fourth from around 500-700ish RPMs. Have any of you had this issue? I need I get this solved ASAP. 6Cyl Stang with 759 miles on the Odometer. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks and God Speed,

My car is a little jumpy at idle as well. I'm also starting to have what sounds like some belt squeal when the car is cold (I think someone on here mentioned his v6 was also belt squealing). I've got 7500 miles on it.

Used to have this when the AC compressor would turn on every few minutes. Would blip the idle up and down a few hundred rpm, was the most noticeable in a drive-thru where you're waiting and waiting with the window down.

I have the exact symptoms DJ listed. The belt squeal is only for perhaps a minute on cold start, and occasionally idle bounces up or down 100-200 rpm once in a while.

Glad to hear I am not the only one.

I have the idle bounce too. Its kind of strange. No belt noise though.

All - those of you who have had this issue, have you made the dealer aware or have you just let it be? ODO reading of 001089.00Miles.

It's not an issue. Additional things turn on and draw more power from the alternator, the alternator in turn signals the computer to make more power momentarily, then it goes back. normal.
