RE: The official FIX MY DAMNED IDLE THREAD!!!!
it's not a magnet..it's a check valve ball
ORIGINAL: 5.0 MPG
check your pcv behind your intake. take it out and shake it lightly. the magnet inside should not move. if it does replace it.
this sounds like a vacum issue. start with this.
if you have to replace it buy a can of seafoam and run it through your intake and check for exhaust leaks while someone stomps on the gas.

+1, I went out and bought a new PCV valve anyways just for the hell of it. But anyways, does anyone think that this throttle body might be the issue? If so, I just priced one for 149.99 for the TB and EGR spacer, they're kinda dirty and non-shiny and a new mac throttle body and EGR spacer might just be the way to go for me.

My tps is reading (while the car is on and running at idle, which is currently idling at 1100 rpms) .965 when the car is on and idling, when the motor is off, the voltage reads .905 which is alright.

It also seems like my car runs a little bit better with the tps disconnected, but it doesn't show any codes for anything! This is driving me nuts and leading me to the conclusion that I might need to get a new throttle body.

Alright boys, this thread is officially closed woohoo!!! I got it cured! and my idle is perfect and when I rev it and let off it drops right down to 650 rpms and stays there, it's awesome! Unfortuantely, I had to go to stangnet.com to find information on how to cure it.

So what ended up being the cause nd what fixed it for others having similar issue.
Not me but maybe others in this thread would like to know so they can check theirs out.
