Sounds like the puter finally caught up to it....

Mine responded excellant to this link....I have the Fox also...

http://www.muscularmustangs.com/maintain.html......follow 1-5 and it should be fine..Nailed mine the first time...
If your cammed then this time of year and the cold is gonna give you some slight surging on start-up anyway....Mine will do it for the first few minutes then come right out of it....Summers fine, but the cold kinda makes it a drag...
the colder it is, the worse the surge....
