idle problems

Hi, I have a 1995 Ford Winstar and it just shakes and shuts off on me sometimes when idling. Any suggestions? Someone told me it was the sensors, but a friend of mine has the same problem and he has changed the sensors and still has the problem. So I'm thinking it's something else.

Get a Haynes manual, check the Throttle position sensor, Mass air flow sensor, and the idle air control. These are the three items that will make it do that.
