Good day mates.

Got a 99 sport that started to have some IDLE issues. Thought its the fuel pump at one point, but doubt that's it

when it IDLEs, its smooth. and smooth throughout the powerband. If I give it a bit of gas, it stays running and doesn't die

One thing I noticed is that it looks like its running real rich - has a strong smell from the exhaust.

I'm thinking either idle air valve, or o2 sensor(s). What do yee experts think??

Thank you!

When was the last tune up? I suspect your ICS is dirty, pretty standard problem. is not much that will stop a 2.6 from running, also <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
