Well, I found a thread that stated sparkplug wires could cause a bad idle. I contacted my local for dealer who gave me a price of 60.00/set for stock. Wholesale knocked it down to 47.00. Then i found the Ford Racing racing wires for 37.50 at BAT Inc. (941 355-0005) for 37.50/set for 2.0L. 2-Day priority cost 12 bucks so that was a pretty good deal.
Unfortunately those did not solve the bad idle. I replace the fuel filter and that did not seem to do much either. Finally I bit the bullet and dropped the car at the dealer for a diagnostic at 89.95. That came back with a bad Ignition coil. I propmtly looked in the forum and found positive results from the ACCEL coil from summit. 54.00 instead of the dealer price for a stock coil of 117.00. Replace the coil and she purrs like a kitten.
This forum saved me 175.00!!!!
Thanks
