Stalling Explorer
Hello,
I'm having trouble with my explorer staying at idle speed. Every month or so I have this problem. I've been adding a fuel injector cleaner to try and help. Sometimes it takes me 15 minutes before it will stay at idle speed. In all of the cases once I take my foot off the accelerator it stalls. I thought it might be some bad gas? Maybe the fuel filter? Or maybe it's the IAC Valve? Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Stalling Explorer
Jed- I can only advise you from my experiance that you've read here- But- it sonds like it could ba your IAC is sticking since you seem to indicate that it is every month or so- IF this is the
case a cleaning of your IAC may be the answer- but try to test it first if you can when the symtoms are in action------
There are also many other good posts about your symtoms on this site and on the Great Explorations as well as others- Good Luck -
