Question which wire bundle fixes rough idle?

I just got my 2000 Lariat and haven't had any problems with rough idle yet, but I've seen a ton of people talking about how they tied up some bundle of wires to fix any potential idle problems... which bundle of wires is this? I'd like to take care of it before it becomes a problem.

Thanks.

I just sent the pictures out to everyone.

Nathan...I was hoping someone would be able to post them...please do. They should help everyone locate the wire bundles. Also..thanks for the info on the UBB code...I'll have to play around with that!

I can not say for sure if moving these away from the canister will work...but I have had a 1998 5.4L and now a 2000 5.4L and have never had a rough idle. After reading another members post on F150online....I moved the wires per their instructions.

Hope it helps for those that are having problems!!!

Cujet..
I need your e-mail address! I see that you are a pilot and fly experimental aircraft...what do you fly? I had just under 1,000 hrs in the ARMY (rotorcraft)before I got out.

Maybe one day I will learn how to post pictures on here!!
