Well, if she doesn't straighten up her stalling I don't know what I will do. As soon as the temp gets over 90 she stalls at idle. Changed TFI to no avail. Today I adjusted the dashpot that controls idle up a bit and it didn't stall today, so hopefully

Could be, when I got it in the fall, it seemed to idle too fast when I started it in the cold, so I bumped the choke idle down, didn't think about that causing this, thought they were seperate settings. If the change I made to the idle dashpot doesn't fix it (good so far) I will try that next.Originally posted by BoxMan2000 Grand Marquis LS

have you checked out the vacuum solenoid that controls your dashpot? It may not be working... I have mine hard wired to a switch, for full controlOriginally posted by 85MercPark

Well after adjusting the dashpot idle up a bit and driving home in 94 degrees with the AC pumping away, I had no stalling yesterday, so that appears to have been the problem. Adjusting the timing a while ago must have been enough to throw the hot idle off.Originally posted by 85crownLX

Thanks to all for the advice.
Perhaps this could be moved to the Tech forum??2000 Grand Marquis LS
