I was at walmart a few nights ago and I'm waiting to pull out of my parking spot. My idle starts to surge and drop and slowly the surges and drops get bigger until it dies. I remember it used to die sometimes in hot weather with the AC on but I don't have ac anymore. If I drive it for a while it's fine and a throttle blip fixes the problem. Is it my cam and hot weather? See my sig for details.

I used to have the same problem but I have a E-cam I just got 1 of those idle air adjusters from ford and messed with the throttle body air adjuster and got the idle to 1,000 RPM and its good now. But I also have a buttload of mods as well.
