Dropping idle...

after i drive the f for a while and it gets warm, possibly hot i.e. the fans are on, my idle drops down quite low. it is definately more apparent when the car is hot. i did notice my grond cable to the battery is loose but, could it be that simple? i.e. not pulling enough amps when the fans kick on? thanks for any help.

Yea, I have the jumping idle too. Before it only happened after warmup w/ AC on. Now it happens with no electric load. i'm guessing it's one of the sensors like the intake temp...

check section F
anyone has experience with this?

Have any of you tried opening the AAS(air adjusting screw) by 1/2 turn?
