It's been a long time. So, first Back the idle screw off to carb, then screw it back in until you see the throttle plate begin to move, slightly. It has to be open a bit. Then you have two screws at the bottom front of the carb. Left side is for low idle and right side is for fast. Turn them both to closed. Don't slam them shut, just until they are snug. Turn both of them open 1 and 3/4 turns. Start the car and let it warm up to operating temperature. adjust the left side first. Close it until the engine starts to sputter or die, raise it back a hair. Then go to the right side and do the same. Adjust the idle screw to 600 or 900 RPM's. depending on auto or manual transmission. Do all this one more time and you are set to go.
sounds like a worn out transmission mount try rocking the ****** up and down and if the play in the rubber mount appears excessive this can cause all of the stated problems
Start with simply changing filter and fluid for transmission. If that doesn,t work go to your local parts place and scan the codes on your vehicle. I have the same problem and that is what I am doing.
First thing i would check would be the fuel filter. Sometimes, when they first start to give problems, there is enough gas to keep them idling or driving around town, but when you get on the highway they starve for fuel.
Have you checked out the fuel pump? Check the fuel pump because Ford did put out bad pumps. My 99 did a similar problem of stalling and or shutting off when on inclines or declines. Turned out that 3 out of the 4 welds broke on the fuel pump in the tank and caused the rubber line to pinch and starve the motor of gas.
Sounds like you are losing vacuum pressure. I would have a mechanic check all your vacuum lines. I had the same problem a while back and all it was was a broken 92cent hose.
