I guess if i can't find the problem, i'm gonna have to spare some money and hook it up to a computer to find the problem. any suggestions??? Thanks! Life Is But A Dream

It's a V6 and 56,000 miles 2000 mercury mystique...i hope you can understand what im trying to explain, its better to say it then to write it Lol Life Is But A Dream

Things I would look at doing: Replace your plugs ( dealer only ones ) Replace your plug wires Replace your air filter Buy a Throttle body gasket ( remove and clean EGR passage ) Replace your fuel filter Check all your vacume lines for leaks Spray some carb cleaner around the intake when runing and see if engine speed increases....if it does...your intake plenum gaskets are leaking and need replacing. I have found that a dirty air filter promotes the moose. Do the fix, by installing a plug drilled out into the hose...it works.
