- 99 Explorer
Afternoon folks...have not visited here in a very long time....I do apologize.
Our 99 Explorer is acting up. 4.0 SOHC. Just plugged in my laptop with Auto Engunity scanner software in it...typed in all the necessary info to start a scan of everything.....nada....
Problem is failure to idle when cold. Started acting up a month or so ago...and true to my ways of late I have just been ignoring it. Well it will not idle at all anymore. Start it up and out it goes. Hold the go pedal so the tach reads 1200 rpm or so for a minute...and out it goes.
Thinking it may be a vac leak...but fuel mileage is still the same as well as the performance. Of course not ruling it out.
Have not cleaned the throttle body in ages, could it be related?
