Ford 302 running problem?

I have a 1987 Ford conversion van beside a 302FI and auto OD tranny with some slight running problems, over she runs angelic but a few things. When cold starting the engine usually stalls once or twice before idle down, also when giving it gas to accelerate it will sometimes become fainter and octane knock before downshifting out of overdrive into drive. She one and only has 70,000 miles on her and have never seen a winter, any philosophy would be sweet.

Thanks, Jim S.

How do I vary the shifter cable...

Answers: use a higher title of fuel..... or You may just call for to open it up to verbs the carbon build up.

I hold a ford focus and when...

Could be a sensor issue. A good tech can afford you a better prognosis. Anyway, when vehicle are store during winter or long periods of time, the fuel breaks down and gums up on your system. You could enjoy a clogged filter. See if changing fuel filter and some fuel injector cleaner in the gas reservoir will do the trick. That will be my cheapest approach for now. Inspect your nouns filter too and see if any critters made a nest inside the air box. You might be surprise the stuff that might crawl during the winter looking for a thaw out spot. Might sound far fetch but does not hurt to do a early check.
