    Roger that on the guages/equipment. I have a full array of tools here and at my inlaws house. Although I have many of the necessary tools I do need guides to follow. I talked to another guy who suggested the TPS as a possible culprit. Sadly this weekend is consisting of kids birthday party's and house work. I will look for the coil specs to compare with my readings. I will also check out the Rave Manual. Thanks for your time and suggestions.

    Maybe you got some bad gas there. If it was full of junk and clogged up the injectors...
    Fortunately the injectors are almost a dime a dozen. Look on ebay for 86-93 Mustang injectors. Racer boys like to take out the stock injectors and install higher lb/hr ones, which do absolutely nothing to help performance. It helps you tho, cz you can pick up a full set of 8 perfectly good Bosch injectors for 20-30 bux.
    Also do the new ign module thing. They can poop out causing all kinds of bother from hard starting to not running to bucking to, well it may be what you need. Go to the junk yard and get the remote one out of an old Disco so that you don't have to yank the dizzy out to change it next time.

    Can anyone chime in on symptoms of bad TPS on '95 RRC? I just developed similar low RPM rough-ness after a day of wheeling yesterday, and wondering if that could be culprit. Already check for vacuum leaks and I have replaced the entire ignition system over the past 6 months w/OEM, all the usual suspects (wires, coil, amp...).

    Thnx

    I had this in both my old classic and my current discovery. It's amassing how similar my symtoms were. Changing the tps solved. Check out this link: http://www.fourfold.org/LR_FAQ/Disco...e.Problem.html

    Hope that helps

    We check out TPS signaling was .3 to 3.9 (spec is 0 to 5) so seemingly ok. We swapped MAF and it helped a bit.Our condition has gotten weirder. It now comes and goes. Swapped IACV and thought it solved, nope back in AM on startup. Dove 200 miles and idle condition is now fine. Still no assignable cause.
