my 95 gt goes through this cycle every morning.

I start the car from being cold and it idles around 1600 rpm's for about 10 minutes, then it almost dies but catches itself and goes to die again and catches itself again, then drops down to about 1000 rpms and runs great. but it does this every morning, goes through the two cycles of wanting to die after 10 minutes and then drops the idle and runs fine...any idea guys????

I think your air fuel is off big time which is giving you all these damn problems. Try swapping out your ECU to see if it'll make your car run better kuz I've heard of ECU's taking shits on people.

Umm idk if it's the same as a fox but it should be in the passenger kick panel. This is a suggestion BTW I recommend borrowing one from someone for a few minutes or hour to see if it helps.
