- I have an '87 Mercury Sable with a 3.0 litre engine with 83k miles.
-
- When idling in gear, the rpm hunts up and down between 750 and 1000 rpm.
- Unfortunately, with the AC on, it can dip down to 500 rpm which causes
- the whole car to shudder.
-
- I've tried removing the auxillary air inlet valve and cleaning it out but
- it hasn't helped. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what did
- you do to cure it?
