I have been having huge problems with idle/fuel delivery for the past several months.
New fuel filters helped some as did a new relay and fuel pump (the original was tired) for a while. Then it came time to "fix" the catalytic converter. All the while my idle issues persisted. I was left with the daunting task of removing/replacing all those vacuum lines..ugh!
Then I found it the solution, I thought, the miracle fix that would solve ALL my problems and clean my marble counter tops as well! But, wait there is more... Not really!
I went to O'Reillys(or rather the wife did) and picked up a can of this stuff called SeaFoam!? I had heard about it, seen videos, read testimonials (on 3geez) but colour me the skeptic!
Two nights ago i had put $20 worth of gas (6 gal) and $12 of miracle in a can into my tank and fired up the FBT... it ran, but was NOT happy! Neither was I... I walked away, because punching fenders is costly, trust me I know!
The next morning I had to head to work and the FBT was none the happier, but I made it to work with a lil extra throttle and too much brake! And walked away again from the FBT frustrated and looking to make a quick sale or trade… fast-forward to my break. >> Where are my keys? Apparently I had, in my frustration and blind anger, left my keys in the car. I found them in the ignition, car in the accessory position from rolling up the windows. I was able to get in on the passenger side, barely! I reached over and tried to start the FBT. It stuttered and finally coughed to life! Not throttle applied!? That’s a first I thought… But, alas I shut it down and returned to work (well not really work I am employed by the federal gubmint!).
Fast-forward to the end of my tour >> I go out to start the FBT to limp it home… Wait! What is this the FBT fired up and quickly idled out at 1100 RPMs, hmm… That’s weird and not anywhere near “normal” for the FBT. Oh well, gotta get home dinner is waiting. I threw it into gear and set out. Wait! Where did the hesitation go? And this pedal on the right makes it go faster!? This cannot be! Hit the breaks, red light ahead, ready the gas and break control system to keep the FBT breathing! Huh? Why is the FBT idling at full stop at 1100 RPMs? OH YEAH! That miracle in a can stuff musta worked!!!
So, in summation go get some!!!

P.S. I still think I need to do the vac thing and I will need to do the exhaust now, but all sales/trades are off! THE FBT LIVES!!!
