It idles very low (i.e. 400-750) and sometimes after I let off the throttle it will idle all the way down to 0 and shut off. Anybody have a clue as to how to solve this problem. I hate it when my baby isn't running perfectly?? Any help appreciated. thanks jeremy 98 SVT Mostly stock..focus shift tower, fog light mod... kickin free-air stereo

If it is moisture in the fuel line dump some "HEET" in there, I always use that [censored] in the winter never have any problems.
