97 rough idling

[athertonwj]

Here are several things to do that should help the idle:

clean the MAF
clean the IAC
run a can of Sea Foam through the intake

Good luck .....

Hi there.

I haev a 2000 XLT SOHC. I seem to have a problem with the IAC, which I will be checking shortly, per suggestons from others (stalls when idling). I've seen mention of this MAF, and sea foam. What is MAF, and how to do test/repair/replace, and what is Sea Foam, what does it do, and how is it applied.

Thanks!

MAF = Mass Air Flow sensor.

Seafoam - take a look at this thread http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120853&highlight=sea+foam

I'm having the shaking at red light issue also, MAF, IAC, TPS and Spark Plugs are fairly new. Any suggestions?

I think most of the original posters have died of natural causes by now.

Lol.. cept Aldive.. Any suggestions though?

Is your problem only at idle? Checked vac hoses?

 

[storlied]

I checked the ones I know of.. I think.. You're talking about the very extremely thin rubber hoses on the driver's side front? Do you have any diagrams of the system? I used to have a bunch but they were all lost when my flash drive took a crap.. =\

idle speed might be too low. fuel injectors.
