My moose is most noticeable in the summer when I turn on the A/C. I think the part number difference is because of the differences in the trottle body sizes. (54 MM Reg. Duratec,60MM,SVT). I purchased the "ANTI- MOOSE" duct work for my SE in July 2000, after reading about it in ALLDATA,
before I ever heard about CEG. The kit, #F6RZ-98659-CA,($82.87) installed at the time did quite things down. Since then I have the SVT UIM and 60 MM throttle body on my engine, the Moose is back, even with the anti moose duct work attached to the SVT accordian hose. I live with it.

Fixed my 96 lx v6 moose with F6RZ-9B659-CA back in 99. Never heard the moose again. BTW, my dad's 96 lx v6, built two months prior to mine, had the correct air resonator from the factory! His also had underhood lighting and rear light access panels in the trunk, features my car lacked due to monthly cost cutting by Ford.

According to Ford's TSB on moosing, it has no negative affect to the engine...
What I wonder about this problem is if it is not fully the IAC valve/hose to blame, but maybe programming in the ECM in combination with the mechanical parts??... especially since some of those who install updated parts to fix it seem to still end up with the problem. For those who still have moosing after installing the updated valve, did any or all of you also reset the ECM, or just install the parts and drive the car? I'm sure most reset the ECM when upgrading the valve, but could it be a factor?

I asked my dealer to make sure the PCM flash was current. Said he reflashed it. Made no difference in terms of the "surge w/AC on" portion of the moose issue. However, every case is unique, and others might have more luck.

Why don't you just do the TH fix as a quick fix. By a copper pipe cap, drill a hole in it, insert in the air tube. Most people claim it works wonders.

The TH fix worked wonders for my cars' throttle response and shifting, but the moose increased dramatically when I did the TH fix, but a ECM reset did tame the moose somewhat... now only hoots every few days or so... it helps to not even touch the gas pedal until the car has warmed up fully.... but the moose still shows his head when you least expect it... like when a beautiful woman walks by when you're starting your car... of course it doesn't sound good when you start it.. it goes 'whooooooaaaaooooooohhhhhooohhmmmmuuuughhh' just when you want it to growl  Tell me if I spelled whooooooaaaaooooooohhhhhooohhmmmmuuuughhh wrong.
