PICTURES AND LOCATION!
Good luck, oh and check your hoses.

[Leo]

oh, you buy all this at the parts stores or junkyards.

Junkyards: cheap and a 50-50 chance if even those work. get warranty and you can exchange the part

Parts stores: expensive should work. if not you can get a replacement.

[1985CrownVicLTD]

[zoomie]

k mang will do ill be in dk tomarrow so ill a bit closer lol anyway see ya tomarrow!

There is only one MAP sensor.

If it runs normal with the AC unplugged, and you don't use the AC, just leave it unplugged and shut the hood. No need to make this more complicated.

welll ill take a pic of my shyt under my hood but there def seems 2 be 2 sensors!

[sly]

sounds like the fast idle solenoid on the side of the carb is either not working, the wire/vacuum to it is broken, or it's out of adjustment (had this problem on the 85 Pontiac Parisienne I had - adjusted it proper and it ran much better).

however... if he doesn't run the AC and the AC is engaging anyhow... there may be a short somewhere.

HEY NE ONES BEST IDEAS FOR SPARK PLUGS... NEED ANSWER BY MORNING OR IM GOIN WITH Bosch-Iridium-Fusion's

[gadget73]

basic Motorcraft plugs. These cars do not need nor like fancy expensive plugs.

holy shit, 8 bucks a plug?! try These

[sly]

these cars will eat and shit out expensive plugs. Just get your basic resistor plugs. They were designed for such and will screw over anything other. The ONLY platinum plug I've found that's worth half a sneeze is the autolite platinums. The bosch plats are way too thin and will destroy themselves within 20k miles. My cars like the basic autolite resistor plugs (similar to the motorcraft plugs) just fine.
