Bad idle 1987 150 4.9
I'm not looking for help, more like reporting what worked for me. This has been getting steadily worse; stalling, no low end power, really sounding like it was starving for fuel. I ran new vacuum lines and that actually made it worse. Finally getting to the point it barely would pull into the shop to get fixed.
What worked; MAP sensor $45 @ Rock auto. It probably didn't hurt that I cleaned the throttle body, and idle control valve.
At any rate it is it's usual cheery self again.
