Hi
I have a BA xr6 turbo sedan that has idle problems until it reaches normal operating temperature. As you pull up to the lights the revs drop and bounce and usually the engine keeps running but feels like it has a lumpy cam. Sometimes the car stalls at the lights especially with the aircon on. Ford have reset factory settings and decarbinized upper throttle body but problem persists.

Hi there, if someone has tried to open the throttle butterfly by hand they will have upset the calibration, and often this is a new throttle body, check idle control motor steps with a scanner, check for vacuum leaks at lower back of inlet manifold, start here.
