Hey guys i got rid of my check engine light because i was having ERG problems as the code said so i replace both the value and the sensor. And what the problem is that the engine won't idle until I get it hot and then it smells like rotten eggs? Any ideas?

rotten eggs = hydrogen sulfide. That says emission problem to me. Past that, no clue...

if ur using a stock airbox, a simple swap of filters could do the trick... recently my brothers 2000 f150 kept stalling, even in drive... we pushed it off the road, i took out the dirty paper filter and it went rite ahead and worked... recently bought him a K&N that lelts in more air and its been fine every since... it could also be that ur MAF sensor isnt reading the rite amount of air... it could also be emissions as another stated since u have the strong scent in the air
 






i put in a k&n FIPK about a year ago and i love it and it looks still clean to me. I think it IAC because it just stalls all the time and won't idle in my driveway. So can i ask where the IAC on a 02 4.6 V8 explorer? Because i can't seam to find it online i have found it for the 4.0 v6 and a 5.0 mustang but not for the 4.6 V8?
