    IAC Problem: How many RPM's does your vehicle IDLE at?

    Yes - MAF sensor. I dont know if cars w/o electronic throttle body if it helps as much (vs electronic) to clean them out for smoother idling. I can imagine it might...... I'd say 750 rpms. Our 05 Mustang idles very high but I think that is from a possible dirty throttle body (like 1500 rpms when...

    IAC Problem: How many RPM's does your vehicle IDLE at?

    I'd suggest 2 additional things: 1.) Clean your air sensor on the intake 2.) Disconnect and reconnect the battery. Let the computer relearn the idle with the clean IAC and sensor. Good luck and let me know! Won't hurt to do.

    I'm guessing we'll never see a recall on the 5r55w

    I had a 2008 Grand Caravan SE (4 sp auto) that was a company car back in 2007........I didnt have to pay for gas and I drove it like I stole it. Flooring it from 1st gear, shifting to 2nd, seemed to take a year. Now THAT was a POS transmission!

    No OD until "warm"

    For the Taurus, I believe it was to prevent transmission damage due to the fluid not being warm. That was the AX4N. My folks have a 10 Explorer, I'll have to see if that does it too. Its just really strange to see it at 2700 rpms going 60-70 and then fall to 2000 and NEVER have it hang like...

    Steering wheel shimmy

    Well I took it to get the alternator looked at and had them rebalance the wheels. 80% better. Wow There is still a little vibration, but its not really a problem.

    No OD until "warm"

    Explorer's transmission won't shift into OD until the car reaches operating temperature (or close to it). Had a 01 Taurus that wouldn't shift into OD to protect the transmission. It doesn't have the classic servo issues (05 Mustang wouldn't shift into OD in the dead of summer after...

    Rattle In Rear Hatch Door

    I find you need to spray every couple weeks to keep it quiet. Keep a can stowed in your car :)

    Rattle In Rear Hatch Door

    Hello! Those rattles are annoying, here are some tips : 1.) Spray silicone spray on all rubber stops in the tailgate/window (the stops look like nubs, I even sprayed in between the trim and the tailgate. Just make sure you clean up :) Spray everything very liberally, and spray again...

    abs light and advance trac off light came on when it was cold out

    By the way, no throttle response is due to the electronic throttle not receiving enough power (as was the case in my FS/500) I had it happen 2-3 times.

    abs light and advance trac off light came on when it was cold out

    My airbag light was faint (not on solid, it did NOT blink, etc) yesterday morning and flickered for about 2-3 minutes, went off. Didn't return. Read on this forum that is normal due to low voltage. The HVAC system seemed to just blast on by itself as well. Yours sounds like low voltage. My Ford...

    2003 Explorer Limited

    I want to add Ipod capability to my Explorer, and have some questions upon researching this on the internet. Cutting to the chase, due to the lack of an Aux/satellite button, I am supposedly out of luck. I did see an post where a PIE adapter did work. My question is this: Since it...

    Steering wheel shimmy

    There was no difference before or after the wheel balance/rotation. They wanted me to spend 100 on a roadforce balance........ Then had my Ford dealership look at them, said everything looked fine with the tires. I've had plenty of tires with inside/outside wear and didn't have vibration. I...
