I have an 01 Mustang V6 which recently gave me some trouble where it would run fine for a while and then stall while driving. The original error code I got was P1518 which lead me to find that my IMCR was missing a plastic bushing that connected the metal rods to the engine. I replaced it and put the manifold back on and reconnected everything but the engine continues to stall after running for a few minutes from a cold start. I connected my code reader and the codes I got back were P0122 and P1504. Any information on how to fix the problems associated with these codes without taking my car to an expensive repair shop would be appreciated. I have checked to make sure my fuel pump and spark plugs are working correctly so they are not the problem as many people have suggested. ---

Did you damage the wires to the IAC removing the intake? Or maybe they were already damaged or corroded? Check that. The P0122 code indicates the following; Faulty throttle position sensor. Throttle position sensor harness is open or shorted Throttle position sensor circuit poor electrical connection Seems like a wiring problem to the throttle position sensor as well… right there with the IAC wiring. Coincidence? Probably not.
