That's the good side, LOL. Driver's side ground effect doesn't line up so hot. I was 18 though when it went on there with very limited knowledge so I'm lucky it even looks halfway decent

I tried that idle repair kit on my car and it looks like it doesnt work so I think im going to just take it back off and see If I can fix my idle without it. My idle is starting to stick sometimes but not all the time so I think Im having the same problem as you are

Like TENGRAM said....you may have "solved" the idle problem by eliminating an input used for idle control, load, etc.....think of it as forcing the ECM to run an alternate strategy w/out the VSS input, and not allow the system to compensate....you may want to check this write-up article though.

One word.........vacuum.....lol...no, really......that's the way it was designed by Ford....why?......my ed-guess is that the VSS was added to the logic, due to the idle problems the EEC-IV started becoming famous for + as an alternate way to determine load conditions more precisely, since the vacuum induced signal (MAP) was eliminated....

Grabbem.. try this instead.. unplug your IAC and adjust youe idle screw tilkl the car runs. I have mine set right around 850 rpms... only trouble it gives me is a little staslling on a cold morning start. but atleast my idle doesnt hang at 1800 rpms anymore

it's not that bud.....say you are cruising to a stop sign.you push in the clutch..it hangs at 1100rpm...then it just bumps back and forth from 1100rpm to 500 till you come to a complete stop,then maybe it idles where it supposed to be....mine is set at 850 btw.
