Hey guys,
I have a problem with my EBII Fairmont 6 cylinder. Just recently it has been idling roughly when the engines warm, so on the weekend I changed the plugs and put new oil and oil filter in the old girl. Took it for a drive and dam it! it's still idling rough. I then took out the air filter to see if it might be that and took it for a hard drive (revved it out to 4500rpms and revved fine) to see if it had a blown head gasket but still the same, only idling roughly! I don't think its the brake booster as it doesn't loose fluid, but have a small leak in the power steering box. Could it be: The power steering leak Spark plug leads Moisture in the distributor cap Clogged injectors What do you think?????.... |

Sounds like a 5 cylinder..... dips down from normal idle revs semi fast.
Thanks for your help! |

I'd change the leads and check the ISC first.
