real bad idle then stall

[slammer]

Just got a 1993 ford explorer sport.
Had new a/c put in.
Had new exhaust manifolds and engine pipe put in.
Had oxygen sensors and mass air flow sensor put in.
Now it's stalling at idle and idle fluctuating like crazy

Theres a small uncapped (or unhosed?) pipe on the the drivers side of the engine with air just shooting out of it.

Thanks. You can see one tube has been capped with the bolt and rubber hose trick, but this afternoon I heard a huge pop, and it looks like the hose blew off off the stem of the empty one where the air is shooting out. What is the other end of the hose supposed to attach to?

 

[jd4242]

brake booster or cruise control

Thx. I guess by capping them it will fix the vacuum problem? Do they make caps?
I don't have cruise control

 

[jd4242]

Just replace the hose.you won't have power brakes or cruse if you cap it

 

[slammer]

Huh. It doesn't have power brakes or cruise control anyway. I appreciate the help very much, btw

 

[jd4242]

Why doesn't it? Braking must suck with out power brakes

 

[slammer]

it sucks big time. Did this model come with power brakes? And they just need to be repaired? On installed?

 

[jd4242]

It should have both.take a pic of farther out so we can see the brake booster and the fender area.that big hose should go to the brake booster I thing and the one your missing should go to the cruise control I think

 

[slammer]

Will take pic and post tmrw. Bringing it to the shop tmrw
Thanks

 

[jd4242]

Yea just checked mine that hose that your missing goes to the cruise control,so it can just be caped

 

[slammer]

So the big hose laying on top in the pic goes to the brakes booster?

 

[jd4242]

Yep should connect to a big round black thing on the firewall.

Wow man you've been a super help, I appreciate it.
Its been a LONG time since I had a vehicle. I bought this one for 300$. Its needed a bunch of work. Still seems like a good buy, though

 

[jd4242]

no problem man.there is a ton of info on this site,really helpful and will save you a ton of money.

Got it fixed. THREE of the six outlets on the Vacuum Assembly were missing Caps/Hoses.
Idling great now. Thanks again for the information.
