What causes a SD 302 motor to hunt for idle when warmed up? I have replaced the ACT, IAC valve, O2 sensor and it still hunts for idle on my 92 F-150 Truck? Does the Pcm have to match the camshaft and everything else? Where does the orange ground wire come out of on the engine harness?

How does it hunt? Just a general wandering or only at certain times (rolling, stopped, etc)?
Does it change if the AC is on?
Any codes?

A diminished vac signal at idle can cause issues (pertaining to a possible cam).

Are you talkin about the O2 heater ground? It's at the back of the intake as I recall.

Good luck.
