rb26deet32 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Check your fuel pump, injectors. Also how long has it been since you've changed your plugs and wires? Also what kind of ignition are you running? If stock, how many miles are on it. And are there any metal shavings inside? Does the car have a rough idle when you cold start it? Or can you turn it on and it just idles a little high? If it does idle like crap I'd mess around with the iac sob. It's been a while since I've had a fox but I remember having to move that sob around slightly to get more or less voltage for something. lol, can't remember what it was for but it's the cylinder guy right on the throttle body on the top side. There is one screw and you get loosen it and adjust it slightly. Just make sure you check the voltage while your doing it or you could just make it worse.

NTHER91 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 if you plugged a vacuum line in wrong and its getting more fuel it could have a little more power under load and run like poo on idle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm also thinking vacuum leak. Is it converted to Mass Air? If you have a small leak somewhere in the intake tube or intake manifold (or anything downstream of the MAF) you're pulling in unmetered air which can cause it to surge like that. If it's still SD, bad MAP sensor? or maybe still just a leak causing weak vaccum signal to the MAP? Just thinking out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
