[quote=smashclash;11587257]This is for my dad. He has an 85 F-150, 4 speed, no A/C, with a 300 CID I-6. Here's this email to me:
Ok started on the truck today. Problem is that is won't idle right...it goes up and down usually down when it warms up and stalls. even though I turned up the idle stop screw it still goes up and down. I couldn't find any vac lines disconnected or bad or any hoses. I don't see any leaks on
I know this is older thread but hope you found problem. I had a friend with same problem and he ended up changing the cat converter. It had same symtoms,etc. Hope this helps.
