The past month or so I've developed a rough idle. When I first start my car up, I have to let it warm up for a few minutes regardless of outside temperature. Her idle waivers slightly at the tach and I can definitely feel it. On several occasions she would start to really idle badly on the verge of dying as I give her gas (that's why I warm her up first). When driving, I sense no loss of power but can sometimes feel a very slight surge. I have seafoamed, changed the TPS, IAC new from Ford about 8 months old. Could this be related to plugs/wires or perhaps bad fuel (fuel filter changed not long ago). Seemed to feel this after Hurricane Wilma passed through. Due to lack of fuel at the time, I filled up my tank with gas from a 4-stroke boat motor. Although that fuel is long burned up, do you think it might've contaminated filter?
