Most common problem is carbon clogging the passages in the intake from the EGR valve to the throttle body. Remove the throttle body and dig them out.

I am still waiting on parts from the dealer to finish mine, but take the TB off and clean the passage and back side of the TB, as it will be probably look nasty. If the passages were as clogged as mine were, the rest of your UIM/LIM probably looks the same, especially the LIM. John 95 Contour 99 F150 85 RX7
