New 94 Explorer Problem??? X-posted
Hi, I just bought this suv used 3 days ago with 70k on the new engine. My problem is...
A) When ever I go over a speed bump I hear this creaking like bed springs squeaking and this noise is located in the center of the vehicle. What could this be???
B) When coming to a stop @ about 6mph my car goes from a slowing (low) idle about 1000 rpm then jumps to 1300rpm and then normalizes Is this normal?
Thanks for all of your help.

I have a 93 xlt and had a case of the creaks also. Could be lots of stuff. Mine turned out the be a spot weld on the heat sheild guarding the cat had broken loose. I think you'll have to get under there to determine for sure. It has been my experience though that most things connected to the powertrain will rattle more than creak, due to the engine rpm.
As for your second question, might be a vacuum leak or the IAC. Is 300 rpm's that significant though? Sounds more like an irritant than a problem. Wife once had an 83 Nissan Pulsar that idled and fluctuated between 1800 and 2300 (had to fix that).
Congrats on your new purchase. Good luck with the issues,
Eric
