'88 escort dies and rough idle
I’m working on an ’88 escort and it won’t stay running...
Does any one know how to test the ICM or the TPS on this vehicle? Has anyone had a similar problem and know what repaired the problem? Details: ’88 escort 1.9L TBI (CFI) 9 engine code. Symptom: Car won’t idle, needs to control idle manually. Doesn’t matter if it’s warm or cold, in our out of gear... Notes: I feel it’s either the Idle control motor (ICM) or the throttle position sensor (TPS). However these items are $50 - $100 each which is around 2-3 times the cars value...

Re: '88 escort dies and rough idle
Take that ICM off and lubricate it. Got a 97 that has an IAC (idle air control) and it would idle really rough. Lubed it and was OK. I think the ICM is the same thing on the older scorts.
