Hey guys, looking for some advice here. I have a 2000 GT that is giving me some problems. The car was running fine earlier today. I went to leave the house after lunch and it started right up, and then immediately started idling really rough. It would have died, but I kept patting the gas to keep it running. It sounded like it was seriously cammed! But it was like it had no power. It finally died and wouldn't start back. The only way that I got it to start again was after I took the IAC off and cleaned it with throttle body cleaner, as well as cleaned the ports for the IAC on the throttle body. It started up, and I kept it running for 4 or 5 minutes. When it first cranked, again it sounded like it was cammed. Just a really rough idle, and even when i would pedal the throttle. If I tried to rev it quick, it cuts out, almost like a backfire. But if I revved it slow and steady it seemed ok. Then I just left it to idle by itself and it did so for about 1-2 minutes, then it died, and wouldn't start back. If there is anything else that you guys need to know to help me out, please let me know. Any advice that you can give will be greatly appreciated!
