1985 Ford Tempo Ford Tempo Stalling/Acceleration Problems

Ok, disconnecting it was just a temporary fix

its acting up again, not as bad but yeah.

It ran like a champ for 2 days even when hot, and now its screwing off again

now at 20 - 40 mph its stumbling and stuttering when the gas is barely let up and then pressed again(even when cold) which it never did before, could that be because the ISC is disabled?

Its also jerking again at times, ALOT less but still jerking nonetheless

so where too next?

Do I need to get the ISC replaced before I can proceed?

I just received the ISC today and will be swapping it out tomorrow, I'm hoping that's the prob as I know its faulty because of the rattling noise it makes. But I don't really have the symptoms of a bad one, except the idle surge and high idle

@fixitmr, I was googling around yesterday and noticed that I have 4 of the 5 symptoms of a bad TPS, all except the speed surge. I do have the idle surge quite a bit, but that could be the ISC

i drove it last night for the 1st time in 3 days to look for more symptoms of the TPS, and it didn't even wait til it got warm to start bucking and jerking, so its a huge finger pointed at the TPS now (thank goodness its a $25 part)
the RPM's were also "surging" at a steady speed

anyways, i'll get back here and let you know whats going on

BINGO!

It was the TPS

problem solved

thanks guys
