'99 Explorer Stalling

[jeeper4fun]

Hi all.
New to this site and new to owning a Ford. Always owned Jeeps and still do. I've been having problems with my Explorer Xlt (6 cyl. sohc) in the morning when it is cold. It revs real high (3000-4000) when you first crank it over, but than it stalls out. If you let it run with your foot on the gas till it warms up a bit, it will stay running, but with a rough idle. I have since replaced the Idle Air Control valve, but that didn't fix the problem. My "Check engine" Light came on yesterday, so now I am really confused. I don't want to take it to the dealer YET, so they can soak me for a 30 dollar fix. If anyone has ever had this problem, can you let me know what your did to correct it.

Thanks
Cory

Go to an auto parts store. Most of them will let you "Borrow" a scanner. I've heard of many things causing the revs and stalls so we need a code before even guessing at a fix.
