Hey guy's just wondering if you can help me with something.
My 1996 el falcon is rough on Idle. So far I have tried these; Changed spark plugs and leads changed rotar Button Replaced distributor cap Reset the base timing to top dead centre Changed the temp sensor Replaced O2 sensor took off idle speed controller cleaned and replaced gasket reset base idle Checked all vacume hoses (all clear) replaced fuel filter took battery leads off to reset computer 3hrs Map sensor (replaced) So far haven't tried; coil fuel pressure regulator throttle position sensor i have racked my brain to the point I am about to give up....any ideas??? |

could be your coil pack but also check it running at night with no lights and see if you can see any little sparks i had a lead shorting out last week and waited till dark to see which one and sure enough number four was shorting out.
Cheers Alan |

Pull the vacuum hose off the fuel pressure regulator when car is at idle, this will basicallly raise the fuel pressure in the rail. If the idle smooths out then I would be getting the fuel injectors cleaned.

intake gasket and ignition timing.
Dont take the timing marks as a given, took mine to a mechanic and was told after 3 different tests that showed timing = 0, it was actually 30' out
