Hi Tonya 740,

Can you please pardon my inability to decipher... (I am not perfect either)

There are lots of us who are willing to give you a hand with your Bizarre Problem.
We might, if you just take a minute and help us with an accurate and legible description.
Thank you, and have a great day :)

Tonya 740, I rarely need to be a referee on this forum but I am stepping in here to stop a feud escalating. In your initial post you said:
So I changed the crankshaft position senor, nd woola car runs fantastic. I have no check eng light on the dash and I also changed the o2 sensor and tested the fuel injectors?
which made more than one member believe you had solved the problem. There is no mention at that point that you were still having a problem with the idle surging.

If you do still have a problem then do not tell everyone that " woola (whatever that may mean) car runs fantastic."

Bill.

Kirby J, Regent and 17yearsofboost are the only ones that didnt attack me the first time I ever posted. Yes I didnt state my need super clear but I think you could figure it out if you have a brain. Especially since I reposted with clear insturctions. I dont know why Bill thinks hes the Volvo Queen but "let it go Francis" or kick me out of the forum.
Have a nice day:)

BTW my transmission mount was broken Kirby J was right.

Hi Tonya 740,
Glad you found and fixed your problems!
A little patience goes a long way, and we seem to have lots of it here -- credits to those who teach us patience 8)

(I am respectfully leaving the statement about 'having a brain' and the like without comment).
However, if you need more help in the future, please let us know, this is why we joined this forum - to help each other.
Thanks

I love it when people come here and act hostile because people that are genuinely trying to help can't understand what they wrote and ask questions to better understand the problem.

Weird idle issues could also be due to a Fuel Pump Relay going bad. I got mine at NAPA for $24. The FPR is located behind the fuse box. My '91 740 turbo wagon was dying randomly until I replaced the FPR. Good luck!
