    Engine Popping Sound???? Help!

Well today the noise was especially bad, but when I made a sharp left turn the noise completely went away until I straightened out my wheels. Someone told me that it is definitely my wheel bearing that...

    V6 mustang revving high

    It may not seem like it but if you look inside its basically a spring a post and a lever that opens and closes to control the amount of air passing through the engine at idle. If it sticks or malfunctions it will add more air than it needs and that in turn causes your car to add more fuel so...

    V6 mustang revving high

    Yes I changed the iac because it threw a malfunction code. The tps is what fixed the problem. Run to advance auto or autozone and have them check or codes. Even though there's no light that doesn't mean there isn't a code. If you can't have it checked try n replace the tps first since its cheaper
