I have a 91 Explorer with 166,000 and Im wondering the same thing. I have
cleaned the crud off the throttle plate in the past but never went any
further. Then recently I took the idle air controller off and noticed a huge
amount of crud thats actually partially blocking the passageway to the IAC.

Tim--what is the BG product you referred to?

I've been thinking of having my mechanic just take the intake off,clean it
out and replace the gasket. Is this the best way or is there another way.
Also, what happens if I just remove the IAC, take some throttle body cleaner
and wash all this crud down into the intake. What happens to all that crud
and is there any harm in doing this?

This list is a terrific resource and I look forward to reading it everyday.

Regards,
Barry Nestor

A "Nascar Craftsman Truck Series" forum has been added to
the web site message boards. In addition being a place for
you to discuss the races, I'll also be posting Ford truck
series press releases there.

A friend of mine has been looking (unsucessfully) for a decent deisel
ranger that is within about 200 miles of the St. Louis MO area. Also,
does anyone have any comments about these trucks? He has heard nothing
but good reviews but there dont seem to be many of them around. Any
leads would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Dan
