Angry Urgent Expert Help Needed!!..

Hey guys,

I have a problem with my EBII Fairmont 6 cylinder.

Just recently it has been idling roughly when the engines warm, so on the weekend I changed the plugs and put new oil and oil filter in the old girl. Took it for a drive and dam it! it's still idling rough.

I then took out the air filter to see if it might be that and took it for a hard drive (revved it out to 4500rpms and revved fine) to see if it had a blown head gasket but still the same, only idling roughly!

I don't think its the brake booster as it doesn't loose fluid, but have a small leak in the power steering box.

Could it be:

The power steering leak
Spark plug leads
Moisture in the distributor cap
Clogged injectors

What do you think?????....

Sounds like a 5 cylinder..... dips down from normal idle revs semi fast.

Thanks for your help!

I'd change the leads and check the ISC first.
