Ever since I bought my car last year I haven't been able to drive it. It surges so bad it's dangerous to drive on the street. The car will jerk violently while cruising. I have replaced the ISC, TPS, IAC, Alternator, Battery, I even replaced the exhaust manifold gasket. I have sunken way to much money into this car and just need it fixed. It is a 1991 fwd non turbo talon. The engine was rebuilt from the last owner. Could a Fiav block off fix the problem? Or possibly new ECU?

Btw two of the lower sensors of the thermostat housing are not connected, the wires are chewed up. I
 
Those chewed up wires would be the reason why you are having a problem. Fix the temperature senders wires and what ever the other sensor is and I bet you will be surprised. The ECU "looks" at those sensors for correct operation.
 
Welcome to DSM life Mike! Get those little things that you probably don't think mean anything fixed and she will thank you. Welcome to the forum.
