89 Gt Vortech Starting Prob

[Sikkpainter]

Hey new to the site and wondering if someone had some advice. Have a 89 gt with a vortech blower and having cold start problems. Turns over fine but stalls right after for maybe the first 3 tries then rough idle for prob a min or 2 then runs fine. After it's warm for instance if I run it to the store and shut it off come back out and fires right up with no hesitation. Only thing that I can tell right now is a leaking header gasket but not sure if that's causing the problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You guys with idle/stall problems could save a lot of time chasing your tails if you would go through the Surging Idle Checklist. Over 50 different people contributed information to it. The first two posts have all the fixes, and steps through the how to find and fix your idle problems without spending a lot of time and money. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions. You can post questions to that sticky and have your name and idle problem recognized. The guys with original problems and fixes get their posts added to the main fix.

It's free, I don't get anything for the use of it except knowing I helped a fellow Mustang enthusiast with his car. At last check, it had more than 134,000 hits, which indicates it does help fix idle problems quickly and inexpensively.
