today as i was driving my cars idling turned ta s**t. if it went below 2000rpm it would flutter n pant then stall.
when the car was parked it wouldnt start. i had ta pump the accelerator a bit to get her goin. and the idling was again very s**t. i checked the air intake and that was clean, and i had plenty of fuel. so i wos thinkin it mite hav been either an electrical issue or a part issue. anyhow i decided to persist with her and just had the car in park and help the go pedal to bout 2100rpm for a couple of minutes. then the idle started to carm itself down to the point that i could take my foot off the accelerator and it wos idling smoothly. hasnt missed a beat afta that. im only guessing but it could be bad fuel? or sumthing s**t in there. is there anything i can pour into the fuel tank to give it a bit of a clean or sumthing? im always using bp ultimate when filling up.

use some injector cleaner thru a tank, after about 100km's, give it a boot to redline to clean out the engine cobwebs.

i've seen BA's and Territories with low km (like 20k's) start and run like a bag of s**t continually. Getting a proper carbon clean done fixes it. what happens is the back of the intake valves gets a build up of carbon, causing the valves to stick open a bit and this not enough compression...

how much does a proper carbon clean cost?

get yourself some "Valvoline Fuel Injector Cleaner"
That'll clear all the crust behind the exhaust valves. Last time I got a carbon clean it cost an extra $99.00 on top of a major service.

If it continues to do it, you probably have a bad throttle body. Its a pretty big problem on the turbo's - I had mine replaced under warranty for the same thing. It was only an intermittent problem though.

do the BA/BF use map sensor?
If so, that might be your problem. start tracing the problem by disconnecting sensors one at a time & note any erratic operation.

everything is just too electronic. I fear pulling something out from a sensor may cause an ECU module to s**t itself.

The old mans territory had a s**t idle if u let it idle for more than about a minute! ford said it just needed an ecu reflash and problme fixed!!! but after 3 reflashes over 4 months nothing was fixed so it could be the actual ecu itself or something andf not the software!!!
