  • . But I had one of Ford's techicians ride with me Tues, he heard the noise and saw the "surging" or lunge while we were stopped at a red light.
  • . But they already said the surging was an idle control valve, which they replaced, and now for the want of not knowing what else to do, they've ordered shocks! for the car to take care of the noise.
