idling probs
 

I was wondering my 88 stang 5.0 has trouble idling when it is cold and even when it is runin for a few mins. It will rev up and down then die. What might this be. Also I grind into 3rd only when shifting fast and it also grinds into reverse could that be my clutch or is it my syncros. Thanks

ilde surge
 

dont know if your car is maf but i removed and cleaned my upper intake, t.b., egr spacer. i.a.c solenoid, mass air meter and all new intake gaskets. then i reset the computer, reset ilde starategy adj tps to .98v & surge is nearly gone!

No it is not Maf

try cleaning out atleast the t.b., egr spacer & idle air bypass solenoid to start with. gaskets cost beans. after all is clean & reinstalled, check & adj tps to .98v, with a volt meter. then reset computer idle strategy like this---------------------------------------------1. warm up car to op. temp. 2. shut off & disconnect i.a.b solenoid & neg bat cable 4 at least 20min. 3. reconn. bat start car & adj idle rpm with set screw under t.b. & run for 2 min. 4. shut off car & reconn i.a.b solenoid [ cylinder looking thing on front of t.b.] & run for 2 min. 5. turn off car for 2 min. 6. restat car with ALL accessories on & run for 2 min. this may take a couple of tries, mine did & has progressivley got better over a few weeks. my surge was so bad i couldnt drive the car, but it idles great now. now i have to fix the part throttle buck im getting. hope this works 4 ya
