This if my first post in this Stang specific forum.
I just bought a 1991 2.3L LX for my son. Overall the car runs great. However, I have had it stall on me at traffic lights when I step on the gas.
I notice that it does idle abit rough when at a light. If you ease it away it will often stumble abit. If you just tramp it, it seems to get away better.
I friend that works at a Goodyear garage suggested removing the EGR valve hose and plugging it as a test. He says that the EGR may not be working and plugging the hose would probably make the engine idle smoother, thus pointing to the EGR as the problem.
This sounds like a logical test.
What other thoughts do you'll have, since you've worked on these 2.3's much more than I.
Oh, also, where exactly is the EGR. I have not yet purchased a service manual on this engine to locate this item.
