i have a 95 zetec idles rough replaced all tune up needs plugs wires coil pack but still idles as if it will stall but its an auto any ideas? thanks
 
did you replace the fuel filter? if not i would do that and run a bottle of injector cleaner of some sort with a tank of 93 octane. my 98 started idling like crap after i bought it so i ran a tank of premium and a bottle of lucas and it helped a little. so when i went to do a full tune up i found that it still had the factory fuel filter on it. when i tipped it up to see what was inside the crap i got out of it looked like mud. so i changed it out and it cleared right up. so now i run a bottle of injector cleaner every 4 or 5 fill ups and haven't had a problem since. i also got better gas mileage after changing the fuel filter.
