I cleaned the ICV about a week ago (maybe i should think about replacing it)... and i kid you not, the engine was running smooth,,, as for the power, i didnt really check cause i was kinda scared over the smoke coming from my hood... so i kinda pampered it all the way to work

Ive been having the same problem with the idle... But something interesting happen to me on my way to work this morning... In the morning i go to put a little oil in (i have an oil leak) and i head off to work...  THe thing is the car was idling beautifully, perfect,  all the way to work, never stumbled once (something that has never happened since i bought it).  Then when im on my last light all of the sudden smoke starts coming out my hood, obviously i get frustrated reach my parking and open the hood... At first i was scared shitless there was oil all over the place, but then i noticed that it was because i forgot to put the oil cap back on.... Because i left the oil cap off, the car idled perfect....  I dunno maybe this could help you guys out as to finding the solution.

Some mustangs did come with a 4 cylinder engine, actually it has to be my favorite, they came 4 cylinder NA and turbo!!! 2 spark plugs per cylinder, i believe it was in the early 80s.
