Default Re: who all has rough idle in a 3.0?

Having idle issues in my 94 3.0 as well

bad surge at idle (500-1,500) which settles to lower then usual rpm. Then every time i go back to idle at a light it'll surge again. It also starts to heat up at lights, dropping almost right away when I start driving again. You can also feel the throttle slam shut when I get off the gas to shift. I think the heating issue may be the fan clutch as I used to plainly hear the fan during low gear revs but don't anymore. Sometimes I come to a light and it'll do a light surge once and flatten out. Other times it's bad enough to drop the voltage when it falls.

Looking through the thread I don't have any power issues, the truck drives fine. I also made sure to check the plastic intake, no issues there.
