Well I stuck my foot in my mouth...literally...I didn't read it was your first post until AFTER I replied. That's why I apologized right after. The wandering idle has so many possible cause we should make this thread a sticky so that whenever someone finds a new reason they can let everyone else know...fords

:laughhard

again, welcome aboard

RIGHT ON!!! I cleaned her out and it wasn't wandering.... then i had to fix a nice manifold leak and it made a difference too.... still to make it smooth as butter its getting a complete tune up.... plugs for sure and then maybe cap and rotor..... get some good quality for parts back in it rather than the no name crap thats in it now

Sometimes the nice thing about a vacuum leak is the suction noise that it make helps you find it....
