I don't know where to put the full story here, but Ruby is my mustang I am the second owner, it's my 4th mustang 1st 5.0 this car has been excellent since I got it in 09 but it likes deer, that put her down for a few years, I got her running with help about 2 years ago and everything was great for a stock car that had sat that long it was strong to the spankings I gave it. I noticed that I had a leak on my water pump one day (indicating that it was going bad) with help we changed it.... that's when the trouble started, it has the runs fine, then runs like crap condition now. I've been following this forum, been watching YouTube (chris fix is the one who gave me the confidence to save money and do things myself) but most of the time my issues have so many different possible culprits, I never know which route to take. I pulled the ecu a few weekends ago and found at least 2 burnt or blown capacitors, so I put in a refurbished one 2 days ago it runs slightly better but still wants to go back to the surging idle, I'm going to check vacuum today because I replaced most of the under fender and engine vac lines when changing injectors and dressing the motor. I'm ready for my lashes I just need some guidance please, thanks
