    How to: IAC valve cleaning thread (w/pics)

    Ha guys, my 96 5.0 Explorer, revved up at a stop sign after applying the brakes! Had to throw it neutral fast to avoid hitting the car in front of me. The day before this happened, I noticed my idle was high (2500-3000) after starting? Cleaned IAC yesterday, same problem today. Any ideas?
