loping idle

[lu103]

Hi, I am new to this 5.0 fox body LX Mustang. I just purchased a 92 mustang Lx 5.0 and I have a problem with the idle, it lopes up and down and wants to stall, has anyone had a problem with this. And what is the cure? tried checking all the vacuum lines and the pcv valve. it seamed loose and rattled around. Help!

Is this a stock car?

Its a common problem.....

Give it a few minutes, JRichker will probably see this, he has some great links to how to troubleshoot this problem.
