Code P050A (2022 mustang gt 10speed)

[Jayy6]

Got the P050A code while driving at 5-10mph in parking lot and my car just turned off coming to a stop and said transmission not in park also when coming to stops I have rpm drops it will be at 1000 while I slow down and go down to 500 and jump back up and make the car jerk a little also I changed my vct solenoids because many people told me it was most likely that but didn’t fix the rpm drops but it did fix the sluggish acceleration problems I was having when at a stop so not a total loss but would any of yall know what it is?Also I have like a rough start up it will like splutter like it was a cam for 2-3 seconds then it will smooth out the idle?

Well, it's an idle air control fault so, clogged filter, dirty/faulty MAF, dirty Throttle body, dirty/faulty IAC valve are all places to check first. Maybe check associated wiring for rodent damage.
Maybe hook up a good scan tool to get some data rather than simply a code.

When coming to stops I have rpm drops - it will be at 1000 while I slow down and go down to 500 and jump back up and make the car jerk a little. I changed my vct solenoids because many people told me it was most likely that. It didn’t fix the rpm drops but it did fix the sluggish acceleration problems I was having when at a stop. So not a total loss. Would any of yall know what it is?

Also I have like a rough start up. It will splutter like it was a cam for 2-3 seconds, then it will smooth out the idle. Thoughts?


I punctuated OP's post for the rest of us boomers. Mainly replaced "also" and "but" with periods.

Come on, it was only 1 sentence…

Just poking fun.

Could be he was using voice to text. His spelling and capitalization are on point.
