My Parents 99 X 4.0 Sohc Engine Keeps Dying When Started. When You Start It, You Have To Keep Your Foot On The Gas And Rev The Engine About 1500rpm So It Will Not Cut Out And Die. You Can Do This For 30sec. To 5 Min And It Will Still Die If You Let Off Of It. The Only Way It Will Not Die Is If You Put In In Reverse Or Drive And Drive A Few Blocks. It Will Then Hold It's Own. There Is No Check Engine Light On. I'm Thinking Idle Air Control Valve, But What Confuses Me Is That An Engine Light Would Be On If That Was The Case I Thought. Any Thoughts? Is Has Had A Plugs And Wires Done In The Last 30k Wih Motorcraft Plats. Vehicle Has About 130,000 Miles On It.
