check your motor mounts, also pull the spark plugs off the dist. cap one at a time to see if it changes the engine rpm at all....if one doesnt change the rpm you mave have a prob with that cylinder...like a bad injector or blown head gasket...

Pull the spark plugs off the distributor cap huh? JK, I'm sure he means spark plug wires.

there could really be a lot of other things that this could be, could be the clutch or the flywheel, the previously mentioned are the most likely but have you replaced your flywheel recently also it could be you rearend but since its a ford thats unlikely
