[Medic0864]

Hello all, I have a 1995 ford explorer with the 4.0, recently it started to rough idle and stall while sitting the rpms will dump out and start rough idling and trying to stall just changed fuel filter and still not better, runs great when moving any ideas just started in the last 2 wks

Have you cleaned the IAC idle air controll valve? Can of throttle body cleaner and 10 min is all it takes. Shoot what's left of the can in the throttle body. If it's never been cleaned take it off and clean the backside of the plate as well.

Could be another issue by this corrected my idle issues and it takes less than an hour if it's your first time doing it.

^What he said, my 01 with the SOHC was doing that, pulled a spare IAC and cleaned it, installed, problem solved, idles great. What mine would do is try to idle down and then slow down to a stop as it ran out of air.

Could also be dirty Mass Air Flow Sensor. Make sure you use MAF Cleaner and nothing else!
