Ford ranger power problem

I have a Ford Ranger 1997 that is having problem when trying to keep its idle. I have to keep pressing the gas petal down. Triied changing the gas filter, but did not help. Any idea out there.

Try cleaning your IAC valve. The PCM uses this valve to control
the idle speed under different temperature & load conditions.

Try posting in the Ranger forum, this forum is not for truck discussion, just garage and workshop discussion. If you look though the forum listing it is broken down into specific categories to make it easier to find what you are looking for.
