4 problems 05 mustang gt need help!!!
Some background on car: bought the car with 97k miles (from a well known local dealer) now at 101k, automatic, 100% stock, drive as my daily.
Problems
1) car idles at low 600 and every 10 seconds or less it drops to 500 for about 3-5 seconds and the entire car shakes then will go back up to 600, even on complete cold start it starts up and goes straight down to 600rpm. Started happening after i disconnected battery to reset check engine light i had for evap system dont think disconnecting the battery would cause this but since then its been happening. Also when its at 500 rpm and im not on the brake the car doesnt inch foward at all.
2) the transmission shudders sometimes. It only happens if i have been going at same speed for a while (usually more than 1 min) and i accelerate a little and it will shudder.
3) dont really know how to explain it other than the transmission feels as though it doesnt want to shift into the next gear or has trouble and when it does shift i hear a loud clunk and jerks the entire car foward, sometimes pretty violently. (Dont hear any other noises
4) The gas pedal has some play to it. Like first half inch it doesnt do anything, you have to push down about an inch or so for it to start going and sometimes even that has like a 2 second delay before it starts moving.
Could really use some help with these. THANKS!!!
