My truck is a ford explorer with 145,000 miles.
While riding on the highway,my truck started to idle rough and cut off, It's restarted quickly,but did the same thing everytime I stopped.
The iac is old,so I decided to clean it with gumont carb cleaner.
Also no check engine light came on. After the iac cleaning,a loud humming noise
emerged around the air filter area,but the Explorer still suffer with the same
problem,it start but then it cut off. Any help would be great Thanks in advance

The humming sounds like the IAC. Recheck your installation of it. Check for vacuum leaks at the vacuum tree on the drivers side of the engine near the firewall.

Have you pulled the engine codes? If so, post them here. The CEL light doesn't have to come on to generate a code.

Most '95's are EEC-IV. You can pull codes pretty easy with little more than a paper clip. See tests at www.dalidesign.com/hbook/eectest.html

Red face Verdict is in

Had my explorer towed to a local mechanic. After two days of waiting,the
results are in.He claims the reason my explorer cuts off in drive or reverse is
the tranmission,he offer to repair it for 1800 dollars.It is the second trans. I
put into this explorer. I said to him my overdrive light never came on,like the
last time the tran. was going bad. So I decided to have the suv towed back
into my drive way. I'll either sale it for 500 buck or donated it.

Thank you forum for all your help Bud 1933 Philly
