    Cleaned Throttle Body but still have sartup idle issues

    Well I replaced IAC valve and the car seems to run well enough for now. It has not dies in the last few weeks but a few times dips below 500rpms on startup. Thanks to all who helped out and sorry for the delayed update. Later this year I will look for either a vaccum leak or the TPS. But for now...

    Cleaned Throttle Body but still have sartup idle issues

    So this (fuel pressure regulator) might be a cause even though I have no check engine light at all? So far no lights come on. If it was the IAC would it always idle rough or stall during use at all times (not just starting up)? This would be the third time to take it to the same shop, so I want...

    Hello all. I am new to the site and I hope someone can help. I own a 2000 Explorer XLT V6 245 SOHC 4dr with 88,800 miles on it. I recently purchased this vehicle and love it so far but...
