Recently, my car's been having a tough time with cold starts. When I start it up and start driving, it'll have the habit of just shutting off again. If I blip the throttle a little bit, the RPMS actually dip down to around 500 and struggle back up to 800. Am I running too rich/lean?<br /><br />2. Also, at around 50-55 mph, my steering wheel never fails to rock back and forth. Any suggestions on that?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Ming <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Black94 5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 655</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,5,27,16,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> 1. Check your timming and make sure your plugs are gapped right and look ok...You might want to clean your idle air control valve on the side of the throttle body...<br /><br />2. Check your tie rods and lower ball joints for play and then get an alignment... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>mtbaughs</b> <br /><small>Member # 4052</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,5,27,16,35,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> 1. Could be lazy O2 sensors or a host of other issues. You'll need to moniter the cars sensors to know this.<br /><br />2.
