Car rumbles at idle. When revving and letting it down to idle, it drops down low and then back up. Then it shakes about 15 seconds. I don't know if this video helps but maybe you guys will hear something I won't.

What is arching? And you say you have that problem too? When I first start it it runs high, then it goes down real low any more and it would stall out and the it would come back up and sit there.Originally posted by gabegt90Comment

Oh and that's me revving it from the throttle body. So when the camera moved closer and the engine went up that was me. Just in case I confused you.Comment

Sounds like its running pretty much normal to me. Might need a tuneup but I can't hear anything wierd. Hard to tell tho with a camera mic.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Yeah that's the weird thing. It runs normal did I mention when I start it up it runs high and then really low to the point of stalling and then it goes back up to normal and it stays there. It vibrates. At the end of the video you should hear the idle going down more and then back up. It might need a tune up. It only shakes at idle or going down to idle and when I first start it up.Comment

mine used to stall because of the idle air control solinoid but My car could use new plugs and wires though

If I unplug that, it stalls out. If I keep it in there it stays running. It might be going. We're talking about the actual motor that controls it right? I am putting up another video about the start up problem.Comment

Do a tune up, plugs, cap, rotor, wires, fuel filter. Run some injector cleaner through it. Also, some seafoam could help. Could just be all the shit builtup on the valves absorbing the fuel before it gets into the cylinder. Need to cover the basics first and get it tuned up.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

Ok. The fuel filter has been in there for a while. Where is it located? Can it be reached from the car being on the ground?Comment

This is the new video of the car's idling thing. I just started it up ran to the front and started recording. After the plane goes by, you should hear the idle go down way low and then up. I am going to give it a tune up. Would giving her a tuneup rid me of this problem? I am going to give her one anyway, but I was just wondering.

Fuel filter is on the inside of the frame rail under the passenger side rear door. Red plastic cover is held on by 2 5/16" head bolts...Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

Thanks. Would a tune up correct this problem?Comment
