1992 Explorer 4dr 4x4 XLT
Cleaned MAF and added seafoam to Fuel Tank and Crank Case.
Rpm surges ever so slightly.

Feels like it's got torque on the highway.
Still takes almost 14 seconds 0-100km at 2100ft above sea level.




Gauges seem fine at 100km/h temp still Runs at 30% even at -4c on the highway.

Anyone care to listen and chime in?
 






So I think the battery I have in it might be garbage. I feel that could cause some minor idle issues as things click on and off.

How would I test for a negative draw?
 






Changed battery, still has Idle surge
 






In park, my 97 SPort has somewhat jumpy idle, in "D", it idles perfectly smooth, it is more important to be nice and smooth in "D" so that normal driving is not bothersome, I never sit idle for extended period of time so I dont worry about it. From your video's I spot nothing out of the ordinary.
