Idle issues

[ddrewes11]

My 86' 5.0 is losing power when sitting at idle and so far I haven't yet waited for it to just shut off but it feels like it might. There's plenty of reasons for a low idle, but does anyone know any common on these cars? The intake is freshly cleaned.

Have you checked/cleaned the iac? They're a very common "bad idle" culprit.

Not yet. Getting new tires on the car now, then ill clean the IAC and the throttle body.
