Hey Y'all
Well, for 2 months "OSO" has been running better than at any time since we owned her. The major issue with stalling seemed to be resolved with the TPS replacement (after 4 months of replacing everything else), the new O2's relocated in the new custom '96/'93 cat-exhaust system resolved other drive-ability bugs and other than the EGR code (which I have given up on) all was wonderful. Guess no good thing lasts forever.
New symptom - Starts fine, idles high as usual for short time then once it drops off and would normally go into the 600 rpm idle it acts like it is confused. It will almost stall, then run up to 8-900 rpm then drop and almost stall. If you add driver input it will run and drive fine until you come to a stop or slow significantly then it will start the whole "chase the rpm needle" game and stall.
I have checked for bad/disconnected/open vacuum lines and found none. I pulled and cleaned the PCV valve with carb clean (also ordered a replacement) and this had no effect. It's not throwing any new CEL's so I have no direction indicated there.
My wife says she (the 'cruiser) is just jealous that I have started spending more attention on the '71 Lincoln and is acting out. Oh if that were just true
Any thoughts on what direction to take with this would be appreciated.
