Below is a list of things to work through.
Check or replace these items:
-Check timing
-Check throttle position sensor switch settings (will either be a
tandem set above trottle body or a single switch underneath)
-Temp Sensor II (I'd just replace this if it has over 100K miles, these
go out of spec frequently)
-O2 Sensor (sometimes a factory wire O2 will work better than a generic
splice-it type)
-Check for "flat spots" during operation of the AFM flap (See bentley
for pins to bridge and resistance values to observe) There is a
"capacitor fix" if this seems to be your problem.
-Clean <underline>all</underline> grounds
-Ground the AFM to a good ground (there is an M8 bolt hole on the back
side next to the harness)
-Inspect cap/rotor for carbon tracking
-Inspect all vacuum lines for leaks replace as necessary
If that doesn't yield results then:
-Check Idle stabilizer valve
-Check fuel pressure regulator
-Check wires
-Check plugs
