I have a 2003 mercury sable, it is not idleing properly, almost like its running outta gas. ive changed the fuel filter, 2 oxygen sensors. 2 vaccum hoses the the boots were burnt off of, and its not the fuel pump. im outta ideas.
I was looking under the hood, and noticed that i could hear air rushing around. I found that a vacum hose had decayed and cracked. After i replaced that, everything has been fine

Can't say for sure but if you take it to autozone they will diagnose it for free. Mine turned out to be a bad coil pack
