try changing your oxygen sensor I have changed the oxygen sensor and it did not help. Do you have any other ideas? Could it be the carb?
Air filter?
check for a vaccum leak on your throttlebody. have solenoid on transmission checked I had same problem cost about 125.00 to have mechanic fix
check your egr valve or throttle positioning sensor
If a 1985 Ford F150 5.8, with a replaced speed sensor, cruise control surges and with a working pedal switch, it is due to vacuum leak. Check on the cruise box under the hood for any leaks.
What type of vehicle could be fuel filter or water in fuel
I am currently troubleshooting the same issue on a 2003 F250 SuperDuty. It seems intermittent and to only happed under low acceleration when the vehicle is warm around 40-50MPH. I am guessing that it is the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor.) It could also be the O2 sensors but I am going about this in ascending cost order. The dealership indicated that the plugs and coils should be changed. The coils are about $60 each and there are 8 of them. You do the math. I will change them as a last resort. I can't see how a bad coil would cause a miss at very low throttle but not anywhere else in the throttle range. This is why I am suspecting the TPS. I will also change the plugs, air filter and fuel filter today. I'll report back with any information as i know this is a common issue. Incidentally, the vehicl has 78,000 miles on it.
i had this same problem with my 85 and about 3 months later my fuel pump went out changed it, workds fine now
What About the sensor? If it's broken? Not working right? If your truck surges up and down when you are pressing the gas pedal then it might need changing.
Engine. Surges. Stutters. Loses power. Hesitates. When you. Apply. The throttle are signs of a plugged. Fuel filter
I too am having the surging RPM issue but have not recently changed coolent and additionally hear a relay ticking/switching noise near the fuel filter corner of the engine compartment --have you determined the root cause & fix??? VB4tqbooo@yahoo.com
A bad throttle sensor can cause several problems. Symptoms include rough idle, loss of power, and even power surges while driving. .
It depends on what's wrong. If you are only guessing, i'd start with the fuel filter.
