I have been a member for quite a while, but since this truck has been so reliable, I have never needed to call for help.

Now this has changed.
The truck is a 1995 Explorer 4.0 / 5 speed. The engine light goes on from time to time. Never on start up, but sometimes in a few minutes, sometimes much later, and many times not at all. But...
Idle is a misery. Most of the time it stumbles and dies after a short time, and sometimes it idles at 1500-2000 rpm.

I'm guessing vacuum hose, but before I roll up my sleeves I want to learn how I can use the "Check engine" light to see if it has any clues for me.

While I dig around here looking for such gems of information, if anyone can direct me, go ahead and throw some rocks at me.

Thanks,
Jerrard Holland

Well, don't be discouraged, you have 205 grand, she's lived a good life! Anyway, the CEL test is a good place to start, pull your codes and let's see what we are working with.....
 






It could be you AICV needing to be cleaned.
