Help!!!

82caprigt · 06-20-2003, 12:13 PM

I need help.
88 sefi and computer off an 88 tbird.
I have replaced the Map sensor , EGR valave , EGR sensor , TPS sensor , PVC valve , ICS , and the TAB.
The car idles fine when cold but as soon as it warms up it starts to surge from 950-1200 . If I bring the rpms up to about 1500 it smooths out fine.
What could possible be the problem?
I am at my wits end. I am really considering just driving it off a cliff .
Someone please please help!

HELP!!

OK at this point I have replaced every damn sensor on the car except the o2's and the temp sensor. I have even resorted to installing a idle air adjustment spacer from ford. It still has the idle surge!!! I thought the idle plate solved the problem because it seemed to smooth out real nice and idle at 925 or so but I turned me back on it and it started to surge again. Anyone have any ideas?? Anyone wanna buy a 82 capri with a fuel injected motor AOD flowmaster ofroad exaust??

I had the same problem with my 90 GT surging up and down when the car was warm.
what i found was if you take your throttle bodie and hold it up to the sun you should see light comming thru around the valve inside if you dont clean it. I did that and it stopped surging..

try that hope it works for you!
