Took mine into ford service dealer in NJ, one of the best and they've been running tests and told me that it looks like i need a whole new throttle body which wont be in until tuesday but thats really good! So for anyone else with this problem bring it in so that they can replace it before you crash your stangs like the 4 out of 17 reports i found.
Mod any chance we can make this a sticky? or something. Thanks

I don't think this has anything to do with floor mats at all. Some cases, maybe, but not all. I'm glad a Ford dealership has recognized this problem and handed you a solution.

Hopefully that is the problem, but how do they know for sure since you haven't had the throttle body replaced yet?

Is this happening only to V6s or are the GTs experiencing the same problem? I haven't had the problem but I only have about 6k Miles on my car and I probably won't be driving for atleat 4-6 weeks.

Dude I checked out the link and saw only three seperate incidents of this happening. I am not saying that it does not worry me, but you have been making this out like it is a widespread epidemic. The first three complaints that the search provided were all from the same person. I am glad though that the dealership is going to fix it for you. Enjoy your Stang or go buy something "safer"

If you can, get them to tell you exactly what they thought was wrong with the throttle body. I'm sure some people would be interested in knowing this.

they ran some tests, well tests all day and they called and told me they are orderin the throttle body seeing that the test determined that its not functioning properly, and yes its popular among the gts and v6s of any year above 05, checkout the link i posted to the complaints http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/complain/complaintsearch.cfm

x-bone probably thinks the throttle body might have had a piece of carpeting in it.
