Dirty fuel, dodgy or dirty plugs, a crook lead, dirty air cleaner, dirty throttle body, dirty IAC (also known as ISC), coil pack on the way out, dirty fuel filter. Firstly I'd clean the IAC/ISC. Easy and cheap to do. *Many idle issues are caused by this being dirty. Cleaning ISC Valve http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...9&postcount=43 Then I'd clean the Throttle body. This is for an I6 but the iside of the TB will look about the same as a V8. * As above. Cleaning Throttle Body http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...2&postcount=48 Then I'd check your air cleaner. Give it a bit of a tap and see how much rubbish comes out of it. Then I'd check your plugs. If you use the NGK $5 items, then replace the lot. Cheap and easy enough to do. If all that fails then you could reset the ECU. Resetting of AU ECU http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...9&postcount=85 If the problems still persists after resetting the ECU, then I'd get the leads tested and perhaps changed. If the problem still persists, change the fuel filter. Changing Fuel Filter http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...3&postcount=37 If all that fails, then take it to a trusted mechanic who can scan for fault codes. I'd be utterly surprised however, if you needed to after working down the list! LOL! All the best with it. GK

dropping down then moving back up again, could be the aircon compressor kicking in and out?
