Just bought this one last week, working through the bugs and nic nacs.

1992 5.0 LX

Just did a COMPLETE tune up. Put a new MSD coil in. Had the fuel system cleaned. Throttle body and intake has been cleaned. No codes. Runs great during acceleration and crusing. Completely stock motor. Has K&N, dumped flows.
I am having a problem at idle. Very rough idle. Any ideas?
 
Run a vacuum test to see if you are pulling the industry standard of around 15"-22" hg first. What rpm does the engine idle at? Lastly, is it a stock cam or heads ect. - basically are all the major induction/power components stock?

clean your iac see what your tps voltage is does it have a cam ....spray carb cleaner around the intake see if the idle picks up if it does you have a leak


No leaks anywhere. Sprayed all around the intake and all vaccum connections.
Also, cleaned iac, don't have a meter with me today for the tps.
