Unhappy 92' Merc idle problems

Our 92 Grand Marquis shakes and shimmeys many times when idleing in drive. Sometime it will totally die at stoplights too. It seems to be okay in Park and everything but when at slow speeds and idleing in Drive it has many problems. Could this be related to the spark plugs? help if you can, thanks.

Re: 92' Merc idle problems

A rough idle.

How many miles since?:
- the fuel filter was changed?
- the air filter was cleaned/changed?
- the spark plugs have been changed?

Could be a timing issue, but probably more with a 'spark' issue. Need more info.

Re: 92' Merc idle problems

Actually the timing and idle are controlled by computer. If and only if there is a problem with the computer should you mess with that. Pull the air intake hose off and while standing on the passenger's side of the car, look into the driver's side of intake chamber. You'll notice a tiny hole there. This hole has carbon buildup in it. Take a can of throttle body cleaner and use about 1/4 can of it in and around that hole (keep a rag under the throttle body to catch the runoff). This will take care of your problems. It is likey caused by running low grade fule and with the added sulfur that's being added to fule. Use a fuel system cleaner afterward to keep it problem free. Worked like a charm for me. Good luck

Maybe that's why they call it "Distributor-less".
