Hi folks,
First, is this normal? Most posts that I have read seem to suggest that a bad IAC would allow the engine to continue to run when disconnected. My mechanic friend seems to think the IAC is at fault.
Secondly, only Motorcraft IAC's? I purchased a cheap one from RockAuto and it didn't seem to fix the my poor idling and driving conditions (which include my engine losing power and cutting out in the middle of drive). I've heard that I should stick with Motorcraft brand IAC's. Is this true?
This problem by the way wasn't present until after I gave my truck a tune up.
Is there anything else I should know/try? Please let me know...
Thanks
