Engine stalls when starting

My 1997 Ford Ranger XLT stalls occasionally when starting and occasionally stalls when stopped at a light. Runs fine rest of the time. Any suggestions?

Welcome to FTE!!!!!

I think your problem is with your IAC, which is supposed to control
your idle speed. You can try cleaning it first to see if this helps,
but you might have to replace it

My 99 Explorer is doing the same thing... Did you get a chance to clean it yet? Did it fix your problem?

shaton, check out out my post in this thread:

You seem to be having the same problem that I just fixed on my 96 Ranger XLT. My stalling problem started out as minor and gradually got worse.

Hi:Thanks for the link. I checked and cleaned the IAC and "knock on wood" it seems to be working. Thanks for the info
