Unstable idle

Sep 06, 2003 2 Replies

I have a 89 formula 350 the problem is the damn thing never has a smooth idle . When you sit in park the rpm will rum up 200 rpm and back down in never ending secession . i have herd of this from fellow owners of 3 geners but no one has a clue what it is ,do you?


Sounds like a vacuum leak.. If not that, then you've got a bad IAC. Those are the best two possibilities without any better description.

IAC, probably just dirty. Spray it with Carb Cleaner, usually fixes this very common issue. Vacuum leaks would cause other issues aside from varying idle.
