Mountaineer Idle Speed Control

Vehicle: 1999 Mercury Mountaineer, 8 cyl., AWD
Trouble: The vehicle will sometimes not stay cranked when in idle. When this happens the check engine light comes. When a diagnostic was run, the diagnostic code P1507 (Idle speed control) was indicated. Is this likely to just be a malfunctioning idle speed sensor or are there other factors that would cause this code to come up? If it is the sensor, where is this sensor located?

Thanks for any help.

John

IAC might be dirty. I think there's a IAC repair help thread at the top of this forum.
