Hi to my fellow forum participants. The information shared has been extremely valueable in diagnosing problems and I hope I can contribute something in the near future as well.

Hi Tim thanks for the reply. I'm from Iowa just south of Des Moines. I drive a beautiful Red 1997 F150 XLT with 59K. Its a 4X2 with fiberglass running boards and gray stripe along the bottom. I found your site when I searched through Google on an idle problem I was having with my 99 windstar. The answer was in a thread that described symtoms of a dirty idle control valve and how to clean it. Solved my problem to a tee so I was very thankful.
