I have had my mustang in the shop 7 times to repair the check fuel cap light. The car has stalled on me several times. Sence the last time I had it in the shop my car gets realy bad gas mileage. It has recentlty been giving me a hard time shifting. I have a fear of the car stalling on the freeway or catching fire, beacause of the eletrical problems in the fuel tank.

The car intermittently stalls on deceleration. When decelerating to a stop, pushing in the clutch and braking will cause the vehicle to die. There is no warning or definite rate of speed or RPM. It occurs occasionally. The dealer attempted to fix by adjusting the voltage on the throttle position switch, second reprogrammed the computer.
