hey i just got my car up and runing its a 1986 mustang 5.0. I went to pick it up and the guy says it has surging idle and when it sits and warms up its a litle high. He said it because of the iac valve is from a 90 mass air car. I put in a E303 cam with 1.7 rockers. IS the surging idle from my car being speed density and need to be switched over to mass air?

Use of the search feature would have found this...

See "Surging Idle Checklist for help with all your idle problems. The first two posts contain all the updates to the fixes. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions.
