In order to save the 94 5.0 from the snow... i also drive around a 1992 topaz with the 2.4L 4 cyl. I'm assuming there are many things in common with this motor and the mustang 4 cyl that you all woud be familiar with.
After the car sat around through most of the summe rand fall being started periodically, we went to start it up again to find out that there was a sizeable chipmunk nest in the airbox, and the car wouldnt start. we cleaned out the air intake elbow and now that it starts, we cant seem to solve a high idle problem... it will hang around 2000 rpms! when giving it some throttle, it will hang even higher, then after a few seconds it will usually fall back to around 2k or a little higher, any thoughts? we checked for vac leaks real quick and couldnt find anything obvious and we also took carb cleaner and cleaned out the IAC which looked pretty clean already. thanks for the help, kyle
