The ECU is located on the passenger side kick panel (under and to the right of the glove box).

There is an idle screw on the TB or is it on the TB bracket....just look at the linkage for the TB and you'll see it. Turn it in for more idle.

What he said, I believe after you adjust the set screw you want to re-check your volts on the TPS, should be around ~.98

A DMM is used to check the TPS baseline reading after adjusting the idle. Look for 0.97 volts or less.

Here is some info.

Good luck.

...ohhhh....my bad. I forgot about the TPS. HISSIN50- dude, uh...do you ever log off? Almost 12,000 posts! I'm jealous. Since I have 2 computers at work I'm going to keep one on Stangnet all the time.....they call that multi-tasking. I'm not going to say anymore because big brother could be watching. Unless I sell my Mustang again and take another year off- I'll see you at 13k...or not. That's a lot of typing and I'm really lazy. who knows?
