Hamilton, eh. A fun city. I used to drink there a lot in my college days (although the same is true for dozens of cities).
Check out my woes...my thread posted same day as yours.

I'm pleased you got it figured out for less than $200.00.
I think I'm in for a longer haul. I may end up signing up for a CT card from that annoying dude stationed at every entrance to every CT in Canada! (you know the guy)

Hey, Oshoguno - what kind of gas mileage were you getting before you changed out the IAC? I just bought my 97 Sport a couple of months ago and am surprised that I only get about 20-21 mpg (Imperial gallon). My old '90 Cherokee got better than that with the 4.0 litre straight six, so I wonder if maybe I should be looking into a bunged up IAC. I live a little south of you near Simcoe so we have somewhat similar weather (ooh, a balmy -3 today).
Glad to read you fixed your problem - a gummed up IAC was a routine problem with my Jeep - nice to know there's one more thing I get to look forward to fixing.

Hey Xjeeper, I normally get about 400 to 450k to a 60L tank. When I was having the problem I was luckey to get 325k to a tank. Which is I believe about 17 to 18 mpg when it was o.k. and 12.7 with the bad IAC. The info I found on the web calls for the Explorer Sport 4x4 to get 16/20 @160hp from the 4.0 SOHC. The mileage isn't totally back to the 450 range but that is prolly because of the cold. Hope that helps.

I have a '91 Explorer XLT and I normally get 475-525k per a 70L tank (about 16mpg).
If your vehicle is not "loping" at idle or showing any other performance problems at speed or idle I would not think the IAC is affecting your fuel economy either.
If fuel economy is a problem start with the obvious (fuel filter, air filter, PVC, plugs, wires, tire pressure and "binding" brakes), then move on to emmision related sensors such as MAF, O2 sensors and then mechanical parts such as IAC and FPR.
Just my 2 cents but this advice is based on a GREAT deal of experience with fuel economy related problems.
