My car is a 1993 Ford Tempo GL and it has a rough idle. Sometimes it cuts off and I will have to re-start. The car only has 48,000 miles on it. It broke down 2 weeks ago, a couple days after I had the shop look at it. (Don't know why they didn't forsee anything) And they replaced the battery and alternator. The symptoms above came back after the battery and alternator were replaced so they replaced the o2 sensor. Symptoms are still here except it has not cut off so far since the o2 sensor was replaced last week. Other then that car runs well and I would like to keep it. HELP!

I know little about your vehicle

I checked Auto Zone on-line, 4 and 6 cylinder models of your car, has a IAC

Let me know if this helped you
