Hey all,
Last winter I replaced ignition switch, plugs, wires, cap (yes, motorcraft) and set idle speed and tps voltage. Also cleaned out TB and IAC. She really runs like a charm for a 221,000 mile engine and doesn't burn oil. Anyhoo, over the past few months I've notice on cold starting the engine would almost die then spring back to normal idle after letting off the gas from a take-off or while shifting gears. Eventually it would smooth out after about 2 minutes of warm-up/driving time. Now it will actually will die but then be fine after about a minute or so. I couldn't find any info on this symptom using the search, so I now ask the gracious Tbird gurus for their wisdom! [Image: smile.gif]
