sometimes the x wont start with my car starter and needs to be started with the key while i pump the gas pedal. the engine will catch and start. and occasionally after immediate startup the x wil idle very erratically like it wants to stall so i have to rev it. what can this be? i have never cleaned the maf. could that be it? i have replaced the iac valve twice, i dont think its that. any suggestions?


EDIT: I gave the good ole IAC a whack, and what do you know, the x started right up. like i said, i already replaced it twice. i will give this one a good cleaning, but if i have to get another one, i'm going to get an after market one, b/c the last 2 I bought from Ford. what a shame.
