wierd idoling
this 1990 ford f-150 automatic 302 fuel injected changed from a 300 seems to idol up and down... the motor sounds great but the thing sometimes stalls when it's put into drive or reverse. It seems to work well besides that... if you would be able to give me some ideas of what it might be it would be greatly appriciated.

Another thing to check would be fuel pressure, if it is low it could cause it to die when put into gear suddenly, and could also be a sign of a dying fuel pump. Any local shop ought to check your pressure for a few bucks and 5 minutes of your time.
