    When driving yesterday felt rough idle out of nowhere and vibration at stop light. Only happens when not accelerating...

    Fuel pump is out of question replaced less then year ago
    Changed fuel filter, checked all fluids and ran through carb an injector cleaner through gas

    Tomorrow I will be checking the PVC valve and hose for any holes since....

    Any other ideas an fixes that could cause this??

    Thanks!

    Yes, also good thing it was a 5 dollar fix.. No autostore carries an elbow for the 98 and up. Ford wanted 75 bucks for the whole vacuum system. Just went to local auto store and bought hose to fit.

    Pics are in my album, if over 80,000 miles would doubt check your elbow.
