Basically when I go for a very short drive my 04 GT will stall out when it starts up. to me it doesnt seem like its getting enough fuel. I have to step on the gas to get it to rev up and then were golden. The drive is atleast a half mile or less. Any help would be great. :banghead:

Welcome to AF

If you do mostly very short drives like that, I'd say the throttle body is carboned up. When the engine is running constantly in open loop mode , it's running a much richer air/fuel ratio. This can cause excessive carbon build up and make the throttle body and IAC (idle air control) valve sticky.

Thanks for the info Rich I'll have to take a look at it and get it cleaned up.
