I'm trying to find out what I need to check or replace to get my 2000 Excursion to idle at normal rpm's in park and neutral. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Did you check for any vacuum leaks ?
Other than that, the IAC valve regulates this I think.

 

There are different causes for a gas engine and a diesel engine. If we knew what engine you had we could give some useful advice.

 

It looks like the Idle Control Valve...... I had a 2000 and it did the same thing. I changed it and it went back to normal. My ICV was full of carbon. My 2004 is starting to do it too so I might go get one soon....

ICV
2000, 2002-2005 Ford Excursion Idle Control Valve - Fuel Injection - Motorcraft 00, 02-05 Excursion Idle Control Valve - 5244-01177549 - PartsGeek

 

It is a 6.8L V10 gasoline engine

 

Yep both of mine have the V-10, the valve is on top and not too hard to change, one bolt is a pita.... if you have small hands you will be fine....

 

Can I clean it, to make it work better temporarily I don't have the money to replace it right now

 

What is a pita, you said one bolt is a pita

 

It is a 6.8L V10 gasoline engine

 

pita = Pain in the azz..... I think you can try to clean it and see what happens, Use carb cleaner.... I might try that first on mine instead of spending $60.... im a big cheapskate....

Only 2 bolts to take it off. Give it a try......

 

Ok thanks for the heads up

 

How high an idle, what rpm is it running in p or n?
