i have found the problem, i had really bad rough idle so i decided to unplug the idle control solenoid, made it better, but cause of a failure of brakes i have found a huge crack in the side of the brake booster making my car to loose vaccum hence making it idle badly so the ICS adjusts the idle to compensate for the loss in idle from the vaccum, making it rev higher and uncontrolably. i'd suggest either running your finger around the booster or pulling it out and getting it fixed. made a huge differece now i have it fixed

Fixed or replaced? I too had a brake booster split (up the back). The replacment one (new from Ford) has reinforcing webs across it - was obviously a design fault in the EFs..

Hey,
I have a simular problem with my EBII Fairmont. Just recently it has been idling roughly when the engines warm so on the weekend I changed the plugs and put new oil and oil filter in the old girl. Took it for a drive and dam it! it's still idling rough. I then took out the air filter to see if it might be that and took it for a hard drive (revved it out to 4500rpms and revved fine) to see if it had a blown head gasket but still the same! I don't think its the brake booster as it doesn't loose fluid, but have a small leak in the power steering box. Could it be: The power steering leak Spark plug leads Moisture in the distributor cap Clogged injectors What do you think?????.... |
