Yes, air in the fuel line can cause irregular engine behavior, including a high idle. When air introduces inconsistencies in fuel delivery, it can lead to improper air-fuel mixture ratios, which may result in the engine running lean and increasing idle speed. Additionally, air can create bubbles that disrupt fuel flow, further contributing to erratic idling. It's important to ensure the fuel system is free of air to maintain optimal engine performance.

What would cause a Mercury Grand Marquis 46 police intercepter to drop idle and shut off?

Take an air hose and disconnect the fuel line right at the tank and blow the "sock" off of it. There is a mesh sock that collapses and blocks the fuel line under high performance conditions. A quick shot of air into the tank will make it float loose in the tank but at least it won't constantly be a problem.

Your fuel pressure drop could be do to a clogged filter, pinched line/hose, or a weak fuel pump. You should have around 35 psi at idle and 43 off idle. I hope this helps answer your question.


Why does my '99 Oldsmobile Intrigue run great while driving foot on gas but sometimes stall due to rough idle when stopped at low idle or when I put it in reverse?

One common cause is a leaking fuel pressure regulator. When they leak, raw fuel gets into its vacuum line and causes a rich condition which can cause the car to stall, and also give a hard starting condition. - TechJK --------------------------------
