My mostly stock 5.0 will do the same thing. I have to rev the engine to about 1200 for a couple (10) seconds and then until the engine gets cold again. I have asked around (Not the forum regrettably) and had no success in finding an answer so fa.r

The Ect code will make you run rich or lean depending on how it went bad(open or shorted)

damnit grabbem88 get a freaking tuner already!! with your cam you need to have that computer tweaked a bit, the cam timing is way off among other things. Either that or just throw the money out and buy a new IAC from FORD, that might fix it, but only for awhile. telling ya if you got a tweecer or something like that and got a good dyno tune on it your car wouldnt have and driveability issues and you might find that extra little power your missing

yeah those two would be great together. I would help you out, but that stuff is way over my head. You being in the lower 48 you should be able to find a pretty good place that works with tweecer or any place that does custom tunes.
