I'd be interested in the same for the 88 351 EFI.

Mine runs in idle about 500-600rpm. It's the surging that it a problem, and it doesn't happen all the time. Surges more when in drive or reverse. Sometimes in park.

Ok, how about the '92? Is the procedure the same and are the rpms the same as the 88? At this point I'll try anything to get this problem rectified.

Mike-sorry I didn't clarify. '92 Bronco with 5.0 with automatic transmission. Idle reset instructions would be great.
