Car idling funny...

I was away for the weekend so the bronco sat for a few days...when i went to start it this morning it started fine then started idling very low and then cut off. It started up again fine, but would cut off if i didnt keep my foot on the gas. I'm right around 100k miles so I'm guessing i need a tune up...is there anything else i should consider? The computer controls the idle and whatnot...correct? there isnt a adjustment screw on the throttle body is there? i'm so used to carburetors with idle issues i never thought i'd have a problem with a fuel injected car...

Havent gotten around to doing anything yet.....It's about time for an oil change/tune up, so i think i'll just change the fuel filter as well. Hopefully that will solve the problem.

You might want to start a new thread - bet you'll get more response on that one "what type plugs"
