iac valve

Victorville, CA..........Hi Listed my short horror story in Profile. :help::help::help::help:

So, I have been upgrading and restoring my 1997 Explorer XLT 4.0 OHV since I purchased it for under a Grand with 129,000 miles, almost a year ago this month. I haven't had any major issues with the vehicle at all and have put quite a few miles on (160,390) it from driving it to Florida and back...

So a few months ago I installed a remanufactured engine It has cloys timing components I understand that the guides are not the problem When the tensioners start to fail then they will slap around then breaking the guides Making a startup rattle ...guides breaking... I installed a pre oiler on...

i just changed my IAC valve on my 2002 4.6, i changed it because of rough idle. when i took the old one off it was missing the spring. but now it idles fine and runs smooth. but on startup it revs to almost 3k rpm for about 5 seconds then drops to normal idle rpm. is this normal? kinda freaked...

I have a 2003 Explorer with the 4.6 and 135k. About 3 months ago, while the Ex was traveling between 45-55mph, it would feel like the trans was slipping in and out of gear. I had my mechanic look at it and he replaced a coil pack and spark plugs and this fixed that issue. A week later, while...

Ok I know this is a topic that is really played out but just bare with me. I acquired a used 1999 explorer. Had some issues but I figured they where minor so I went with it. It idled very high from the get go. About 1500 to 2000 with my foot on the break. And it would stall like it's running...

So guys, my IAC recently hit the bucket, you can only clean them but so many times till they finally fail on you. At the junk yard i picked up a IAC from another 95 explorer. I also picked up one from a 1994 explorer because they have the same exact wire harness connector and bolt up the same...

My girlfriend has a '96 Explorer with a 4.0L engine. Starting last month the vehicle has begun to have a really difficult time running at idle. When I start I have to depress the gas and let it run for several minutes otherwise when I let it try to return to idle it will stall. Also when it is...

I have a 2006 ford explorer V6 Eddie Bauer I'm having some idling issues. When I go to start it up it seems like its having a hard time to start runnin. The rpms will go up past 1000 after start up and drop down between 250 and 500 and go back and forth until finally idling down to 500 which is...

I have been discovering a few strange engine symptoms since i recently bought my explorer. When i revv it past 3000 rpms and let it return to idle it nearly stalls but then rebounds. Also, the power steering is tough to turn unless you give it some gas, and then it is fine. As far as i know the...

I had some A/C problems a while ago - basically, the compressor clutch was cycling rapidly (2-3 seconds) at idle before it eventually died completely and the compressor didn't engage at all. After taking it to Midas and having the system recharged, it still didn't work so they offered to...

i just got a 2004 explorer 4.0l v6 and today on my way home my truck just died.. it would turn over just not start. i had a friend with me and i had him hold down the fuel reset button. he had to bend down and hold that button in for about 20mins..and every time he sliped the truck would die and...
