96 Windstar Stalling...
I have a '96 Windstar that only stalls after the engine is "warm". It stalls noticeably when turning and occasionally when stopping. Otherwise, the van runs and starts fine...No noticeable noises, etc...
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated...
Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt and welcome to FTE 
It sounds like you might have an IAC (Idle Air Control) problem.
The IAC is a cylinder shaped piece with a base that bolts to the intake manifold or throttle body with 2 8mm head screws. It has 1 electrical connector on it. It's about 5 inches long or so.
You can remove it and clean it with some Carb Medic type of spray carb cleaner or some brake cleaner. Make sure the inside of it is nice and clean before you reinstall it.
Cleaning is sometimes only a temporary fix and replacing it is a better idea.
